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.
By industry
Fractional CFO for Manufacturing Companies
Manufacturers outgrow their accountant and their ERP reports long before they need a full-time CFO. Alehar's Corporate Finance as a Service gives you a senior finance team that scales with the plant, with a partner who owns product costs and the monthly numbers, builds the case behind every machine, line and plant decision, and prepares you for the bank, the investor or the buyer when it comes.
What we hear
What owners in manufacturing tell us
01
“Our margins look fine on paper and the year-end always comes in lower.”
02
“The bank wants monthly numbers for the new line and we only have the year-end.”
03
“We want a new line and I cannot tell whether it pays for itself.”
04
“Our finance manager is retiring and I do not want to rush the replacement.”
The engagement
Why manufacturing businesses work with Alehar
A partner, a complete team, no lock-in, and support for the next raise or exit when it comes.
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.
