Finance
CFO leadership for financial recovery, cash governance, audit, diligence and transaction preparation.
Led by Mark
Proof: Mark led 18 months of financial cleanup and a completed audit in ten weeks.
Selected workExecutive Leadership
Executives who take ownership of the seat.
Interim and fractional leadership across finance, operations, strategy, growth and marketing, transformation, people and culture, and risk and governance. Mark, Eric and Ravi take ownership in their areas of experience, with responsibilities defined before an engagement begins.
One operator stabilizes the business, one commercializes it, and one designs how it should run. We define the executive, decision rights and scope, then take ownership of execution.
Capabilities
Leadership across seven seats.
Mark leads finance and operations, Eric leads revenue execution, and Ravi leads risk and governance. Strategy, transformation and people priorities form part of these scoped engagements. We agree on the responsible executive and scope of coverage with you before work begins.
When we are engaged
Situations that call for executive ownership.
- A critical executive seat is vacant
- The business has outgrown the leader in the role
- Private equity ownership or a change of control
- Preparing for a transaction or audit
- Turnaround, restructuring or Chapter 11
- Execution slows after decisions are made
Engagement models
The engagement follows the work.
Most engagements begin with immediate stabilization, then shift to fractional coverage until a permanent transition is de-risked.
Interim
A senior executive embedded in the role, owning the function through the transition.
Fractional
Ongoing senior leadership on a part-time basis.
Project
A defined scope with a clear end point, such as transaction preparation or historical cleanup.
