Fractional CFO & Predictive Growth Architect for Scaleup Enterprises ($1M to $5M)

Most founders assume clean books mean their enterprise is safe. Clean books merely record the past. I partner with scaleup CEOs between $1M and $5M turnover to replace backward-looking bookkeeping with real-time windshield visibility. As a serial operator and Fractional CFO, I implement 13-week cash forecasting, dynamic scenario modeling, and margin defense so you eliminate payday anxiety, protect gross profit, and scale enterprise value with complete mathematical certainty.

If Alan's experience looks relevant, start with the business situation. Fracxio can use that context while working out the capability and most useful next step.

I operate as your proactive commercial co-pilot, delivering real-time financial architecture that protects margins and drives predictable growth. My background is rooted in direct business ownership. Having built multi-million-pound companies, met payroll out of my own pocket, and assembled an international property portfolio, I combine battle-tested operator experience with predictive financial intelligence. I understand the emotional and operational friction of scaling capital. How I Work Phase 1: 30-Day Sovereign Architecture Sprint.

Example engagement

An example of the work

Getting Ready for Investors or Buyers: I worked with a fast-growing scaleup owner ($2M + turnover) who wanted to bring in outside investors. We cleaned up his books, stripped out personal and one-off business expenses, and proved his profit margins. Because the numbers were clear and trustworthy, outside investors felt confident in the true value of the business, protecting his valuation and making the deal possible. A Clean, Stress-Free Business Sale: I guided a regional property management and letting agency through a sale to an industry competitor. We fairly and transparently removed personal and one-off business expenses, separated regular monthly contract income from occasional fees, and packaged the numbers cleanly. The buyer could verify everything in days, resulting in a smooth transaction with no last-minute price chipping. Raising Prices for Pure Profit: I have reviewed the pricing across several businesses that were working flat out but keeping very little profit and some that were doing fine but wanted to see if they could do better. We found where they were undercharging, fixed their price models without putting their business at risk, and cut wasteful subscriptions. This added tens of thousands of pounds in pure profit directly to their bottom line without requiring the business owners to work any extra hours or losing clients. In some cases we saw the smallest customers become among the largest within one year - even after significant price increases.
