Strategic finance leadership for growing businesses
Tendeca Finance brings CFO-level expertise to privately held businesses, without the cost of a full-time hire. You get the financial clarity, strategic insight and forward-looking financial analysis you need to make confident decisions and grow your business.
THE PROBLEM
Your bookkeeper records the past. Your accountant files the tax. But nobody is running the numbers, telling you whether you can afford to hire, whether that investment stacks up or why cash is tight when the P&L looks fine.
That gap is expensive. And it grows with your business.
You are profitable but cash shortages are common
No reliable forecasts for planning and driving growth
No single source of truth for performance measurement
Decisions often feel reactive rather than strategic
You are unsure of your pricing, margins and resource utilisation
You are spending increased time managing the finance function and less time on growing the business
If any of these sound familiar, you haven't got a bookkeeping problem. You have a common gap in your finance function.


businesses
I work with privately held businesses that are growing but are not yet ready for a full-time finance executive. These businesses will typically:
Have turnover above $2m
Have a bookkeeper and tax accountant but need deeper financial oversight
Need cashflow visibility and better decision support
Want monthly clarity on performance, margins and growth drivers
Need a financial expert to help with driving and financing growth.
Beyond a certain size, the big decisions in your business (hiring, investing, borrowing, pricing) need expert financial analysis, which may not be available internally. This is exactly where I come in. I help founders and CEOs of privately held businesses navigate the increasingly complex finances of a growing business.
