We are the Bahrain subsidiary of a regional group. Can you handle the reporting to the parent?

Yes. Alehar produces the monthly pack in the format the parent expects, reconciled to the local accounts, and keeps it consistent month to month so the group can compare entities. Local statutory work and the audit stay with your accountant and auditor. Where the parent's chart of accounts or KPIs differ from what you track locally, Alehar builds the mapping once and maintains it.

Our owners want to know what the business can afford to pay out. Can you tell them?

Yes. Alehar builds the cash forecast with the owners' distributions in it, alongside the working capital the business needs and any bank obligations, so the owners can see what the business can pay out and still fund itself. The same view shows what a larger payout would do to next year's plans.

Our finance manager is leaving. Can you hold the function together while we hire?

Yes. Alehar takes over the monthly reporting, the forecast and the reporting to the owners and the bank for as long as the gap lasts, works with your accountant to keep the close running, and hands over to the new hire with the processes documented. If you decide afterwards to hire at a more junior level and keep the senior work with Alehar, that works too.

Fractional and outsourced CFO services in Manama

A Manama business can outgrow its accountant long before a full-time CFO makes sense. Alehar's Corporate Finance as a Service gives you a senior finance team that scales with the business, from reporting your owners and your bank can rely on to the analysis behind the next decision.

The engagement

Why companies in Manama work with Alehar

A senior lead, a complete team, no lock-in, and a partner for the transaction when it comes.

A senior lead who is accountable

One senior person 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 lead 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.

Frequently asked questions

A fractional CFO is one senior finance person who gives you part of their week instead of joining full time. Outsourced, virtual and part-time CFO describe the same arrangement, and an interim CFO is one person covering a vacancy full time for a set period. Alehar provides the function rather than one person: a senior lead who is accountable for it, with analysts and managers behind them, engaged month to month. That covers reporting, forecasts and preparation for a bank, an investor or a sale without adding headcount.

Less than a full-time CFO, with a team rather than one person. Alehar's Corporate Finance as a Service is a fixed monthly retainer, starting from USD 2,500 per month and scoped to the work agreed for the month rather than billed by the hour. There is no lock-in: the engagement can be ended at any time without penalty. Our pricing page has the detail, or send us your context and we will quote for your situation.
