Raising in Singapore? Bring a CFO investors will take seriously.
Our executive search finds and vets a fractional Chief Financial Officer (CFO) from a collective of 800+ to prepare your raise: the model, the data room and a senior finance voice in the room. Diligence tests every part of the finance function, and Singapore investors test it closely.
Why rounds slow down in Singapore
Rounds tend to slow for specific, fixable reasons:
The data room is not ready
Requested documents take weeks to produce, and institutional investors and regional funds read the delay as a sign of operational maturity.
The model does not hold up
Assumptions are undocumented, revenue projections do not connect to unit economics, and the model tells a different story from the accounts.
No finance leader in the room
When an investor asks detailed questions, the founder answers alone. In a competitive market, that gap is noticed.
Housekeeping surfaces late
Missing board resolutions, an incomplete cap table or overdue statutory filings that should have been tidied months before.
Each of these can be prevented with the right CFO in place early. Where diligence reaches into operations or technology, we can match those leaders from our collective too.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
- A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
- Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
- A founder carrying every financial question personally
- Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up
Not for
- A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
- A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
- A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
- A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping
What a fractional CFO brings to your round
Everything investors will test, built and presented by a senior finance leader who knows what Singapore and regional investors expect.
A model and data room built for scrutiny
A model with clear assumptions and downside cases, plus a data room laid out so investors find answers before they ask.
The story behind the numbers
Your CFO connects the financial story to the strategy and handles investor questions with authority, from venture funds to family offices and government-linked investors.
Clean statutory and tax housekeeping
Your CFO makes sure filings, tax positions and corporate records are in order before investors start looking.
A CFO and COO together, if diligence needs it
Where diligence goes deeper, we can match a COO alongside the CFO, or a CTO for technology diligence, so the leadership team looks complete.
After the round closes
Once the money lands, your CFO can track the promises made in the deck and report on them to the new board, with our governance still in place.
From gap to investor-ready
Calibrated to your round timeline.
Fundraise assessment
We assess your current financial infrastructure, identify gaps, and calibrate to your round timeline.
CFO deployment
Your matched Fractional CFO is embedded within two to three weeks and begins building investor-grade infrastructure.
Fundraise preparation
Financial model, data room, board pack, governance, built and stress-tested before you enter conversations.
Round support and post-close
Your CFO stays through the round and transitions to execution mode. Reporting infrastructure, milestone tracking, and board presence.
