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.

Fractional CFO for Restaurant and Café Groups
Restaurant groups outgrow site-by-site finance 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 group, with a partner who owns the margin by site after rent, wages and delivery commissions, builds the case behind every opening, lease and partnership decision, and prepares you for the investor or the acquisition when it comes.
What we hear
What owners in restaurant and café groups tell us
01
“A private equity fund wants to back our roll-out, and I need to understand what we give up before we take their money.”
02
“A competitor is selling their sites and we could take them on, if the price and the funding stack up.”
03
“Our last site's rent looked fine on paper and now eats a fifth of sales. This time I want the numbers before we sign.”
04
“A hotel group wants us to run the restaurants in their new properties, and I need to see the numbers before we commit.”
The engagement
Why restaurant and café groups 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.
