What we hear

Which of these sounds like your business?

Alehar reviews how your finance function runs and sets up what the next stage needs. That covers clear roles, a reliable month-end close, approval limits, separation of duties, regular reconciliations and a finance system that fits. It is part of Corporate Finance as a Service, Alehar's monthly finance function.

01

“We're three times the size we were, but finance still runs the way it did at the start.”

Usually shows up after a few years of growth, when everything still depends on one or two people and a set of spreadsheets.

Alehar reviews how the numbers are produced today and gives its view on what the business will need as it grows. You agree the plan together, and Alehar works with your team to put the new roles, processes and system in place, so you get reliable numbers each month and spend less of your own time on finance.

02

“One person approves, pays and records everything, and there is no second check.”

Usually comes to light after a payment error, a fraud scare or a question from the auditor.

Alehar maps who can approve, pay and record each transaction, and where one person controls too much. It then proposes approval limits, a second check on payments and regular reconciliations, sized for your team. You decide together which controls come first, so the business is protected without slowing down.

03

“Investors want to do due diligence, and I'm not sure our finance setup will stand up to it.”

Usually starts with a planned raise or sale, a new lender, or an audit that raised issues.

Alehar looks at your finance function the way an investor or lender would, and closes the gaps they are likely to find. It tells you which questions to expect and prepares the answers with you, so diligence confirms your numbers instead of raising doubts that cost you time or value in the deal.

The engagement

Why owners strengthening their finance function work with Alehar

A partner, a complete team, no lock-in, and support for the next raise or exit when it comes.

A partner who is accountable

One partner owns your finance function. They work alongside the people you already have, and take on what your team does not have the capacity or the experience to run.

A complete team, not a single hire

Behind the partner is a team from analyst to executive, drawn from private equity, investment banking and strategy consulting. Reporting, planning and transaction preparation are covered without adding headcount.

Month to month, without lock-in

The engagement runs monthly and can be ended at any time, without penalty. You pay for a senior finance function, not for the cost of building one.

The same partner for the raise or the sale

Alehar advises on fundraising, debt and M&A, and brings a network of venture, private equity and corporate investors. When the next step comes, the people who have run your numbers run the process.

How we strengthen your finance function

Review what you have, fix what matters first, build for the next stage

  1. 1

    Review how finance runs today

    Who records, approves and pays, how the month-end works, which systems are used and where the risks sit. Alehar shares what it finds in plain terms and suggests which gaps to close first.

  2. 2

    Put the right controls in place

    Approval limits, a second check on payments, separation of duties and regular reconciliations, sized for the team you have. Alehar sets them up with your team and agrees with you how strict each one needs to be.

  3. 3

    Build for the next stage

    Clear roles, a documented month-end and, where needed, a finance system that fits. On that base Alehar produces your monthly reporting and forecast, gives its view on what to hire and when, and reviews with you each month whether finance is keeping up with the business.
