Finance, built to last.

A full-time CFO at institutional grade costs more than most scaling companies can sustain. A fractional CFO provides the same strategic depth at the point in the growth cycle where it is needed most, without the permanent overhead.

• Board pack preparation and presentation
• Fundraising support and investor reporting
• Strategic FP&A and scenario planning
• Cash flow management and runway analysis
• Finance team buildout and hiring support
• M&A preparation and due diligence support

Governance failures rarely announce themselves. A journal entry that was never reviewed. A workflow rule that stopped reflecting the entity structure eighteen months ago. An automated accrual that rolls forward without recalculation. PA identifies and closes these gaps before they become audit findings or investor concerns.

• IFRS and US GAAP technical accounting
• SOX compliance and internal controls
• Cross-border consolidation and group reporting
• Regulatory reporting frameworks
• Audit readiness and pre-audit preparation
• Finance process documentation and controls mapping

When the close cycle runs beyond ten days, when reconciliations carry open items forward, when intercompany balances are labeled timing differences that never resolve, the controller function is under stress. PA provides the discipline and infrastructure to fix this.

• Month-end and quarter-end close management
• Balance sheet reconciliations and sign-off
• Intercompany eliminations and reconciliations
• Multi-GAAP reporting (IFRS and US GAAP simultaneously)
• Management accounts preparation
• Variance analysis and commentary

Scaling companies need reliable accounting operations before anything else can work. PA provides disciplined day-to-day accounting, transaction processing, and record-keeping as a strategic function, not an afterthought. This is the foundation that financial reporting, investor readiness, and audit preparation all depend on.

• Transaction processing and bookkeeping
• Accounts payable and receivable management
• Bank reconciliations and month-end journals
• Payroll processing support
• Management of accounting software and chart of accounts
• Coordination with external auditors and tax advisors

• Startup and early-stage valuations (Scorecard, VC Method, First Chicago, Berkus)
• Fair valuations for financial reporting
• Impairment testing under IFRS and Ind AS 36
• Instrument and derivative valuation
• Purchase price allocation

Valuation support across the full deal lifecycle. From initial bid assessment through final fairness opinion, our work is built to hold up under regulatory and counterparty scrutiny.

• M&A bid support and defence
• ESOP valuations under Ind AS 102

Financial models built for internal conviction rarely survive external scrutiny unchanged. We review, pressure-test, and rebuild the assumptions that investors and auditors will interrogate first.

• Multi-year financial model review and pressure-testing
• Gross margin bridge and scenario analysis
• Revenue assumption review and downside scenario construction
• Investor-grade model preparation for fundraising
• Independent model review
