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 and outsourced CFO services in the San Francisco Bay Area
Companies in the San Francisco Bay Area often raise and hire faster than their finance function can follow. Alehar's Corporate Finance as a Service gives you a senior finance team that scales with the business, with a partner who owns the numbers, builds the analysis behind every spending, pricing and hiring decision, and prepares you for the next round or an acquisition offer when it comes.
The engagement
Why companies in the San Francisco Bay Area 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 when you raise or sell
When you raise money, take on debt or sell the business, the team that runs your numbers prepares the finance side. That covers the forecast, the numbers behind the negotiation and the financial information that investors, lenders and buyers review.
