Who We Work With
KayOne doesn't specialise in an industry. We specialise in a type of founder - and a specific moment in the life of their business. The common thread across every engagement isn't what the business does. It's who's running it, and what they're facing.
We work across technology, manufacturing, and construction. The industry isn't the point. The moment is.
You built something real without institutional money. The business works - it has customers, revenue, and a team. But finance was always the last priority. The bookkeeper handles compliance. You handle everything else. You've reached the point where that's no longer enough, and you know it.
What you need isn't another accountant. You need someone who can build the infrastructure the business has earned - and think with you about where it goes next.
→ Fractional CFOYou've got traction. Revenue is moving. You might have taken early investment or you're preparing to. The business is at the stage where what got you here - the hustle, the founder intuition, the informal reporting - won't get you to the next level.
Investors are asking questions your numbers can't answer. The board wants reporting you can't produce. You need the infrastructure to match the ambition you've already demonstrated.
→ Investor Readiness & Fractional CFOThere's a transaction in the picture. Maybe you've been approached. Maybe you're building toward an exit over the next 24 months. Maybe you're on the buy side and you need someone to check what you're actually buying.
A deal is the moment when every number gets scrutinised. The ones that don't hold up don't just reduce the price - they kill trust. You need the financials prepared, the valuation grounded, and someone in the room who's done this before.

The founders who find KayOne most valuable tend to recognise themselves in at least a few of these.
You can read a good salesperson in five minutes. You've never been sure your bookkeeper is doing it right.
You'd hire a full-time CFO if you could justify the cost. You can't yet.
Your accountant is great at tax. They've never helped you think about the business.
You're going to raise in 18 months. The numbers aren't ready and you know it.
You got an approach on the business. You had no idea if the price was fair.
You've promised yourself you'd sort the finance function. That was two years ago.
