The CEO's Problems I Solve: Cash, Clarity & Control 

I help founders and CEOs in the GCC build scalable finance functions—clean, controlled, and ready for international growth. My 25+ years of experience span restructuring, FP&A, board advisory, and digital transformation across companies ranging from  $15M to $200M+. 

You're growing fast. Cash is tight. Investors want answers. The systems you built at $5M  are breaking at $50M. 

What founders and CEOs actually worry about—and how I solve it: 

• "We missed payroll by AED 200k because the books weren't closed on time."
I help SMEs with $15M- $200M revenue to stabilize cash flow and build financial visibility in 30 days.

• "By the time I saw the cash leak, we'd already burned through AED 1.5M."
I install rolling forecasts and real-time dashboards that show you where money goes—before it's gone. I reveal your cash burn rate.

• "Investors went silent after we sent our last financials."
I create investors and board-ready reporting that tells a clear, credible story.

• "We have a finance team. What we need is someone who can build the architecture for scale."
I design the systems, controls, and team structure that grow with you.

• "I'm scared to push on collections—what if we lose the client?"
Revenue that doesn't convert to cash isn't revenue. I fix AR cycles without breaking relationships.

Trusted by founders, investors, and global leadership teams.

How I Work - The Embedded leader

Most fractional CFOs are treated as temporary resources. I work differently. To prevent a crisis, a CFO cannot stay behind a screen; they must be an integrated part of the leadership team from day one. My approach is built on three pillars: 

My approach is simple: I don't just provide a service; I provide a foundation. Clarity first, execution always.
