Fractional Executive Search

Walk into diligence prepared. Let the numbers do the persuading.

We search for, vet and match a fractional Chief Financial Officer (CFO) who embeds before the round and builds the model, data room and finance story Bangkok's corporate venture arms and regional funds expect, then stays to report against what you promised.

The situation

Why Bangkok rounds slow down

Rounds rarely fail on the idea. They stall for practical reasons that can be fixed in advance:

01

A data room still being built

Each request for documents takes weeks. Bank-backed venture arms such as SCB 10X and Krungsri Finnovate, and regional funds looking at Thailand, treat that delay as evidence about management.

02

A model that does not hold up

Assumptions are undocumented, projections do not connect to unit economics, and the model disagrees with the accounts. Corporate investors in Bangkok test this closely.

03

The founder answering every finance question

Without an experienced finance leader in the room, detailed questions fall to the founder, and investors notice.

04

Housekeeping found late

Missing board resolutions, an untidy cap table or tax filings that are not up to date surface in diligence instead of a year earlier, when they were easy to fix.

Each of these is avoidable with the right finance leader in place early. If diligence reaches into operations or technology, our collective can add that seniority too.

Is it the right fit?

Who this is for, and who it is not

Best for

  • Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
  • A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
  • Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
  • A founder carrying every financial question personally
  • Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up

Not for

  • A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
  • A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
  • A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
  • A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping

What a fractional CFO adds

How a fractional CFO strengthens a Bangkok raise

The numbers, documents and story a Thai investment committee will examine, prepared by someone who has sat across that table before.

Model and data room

A three-to-five-year model whose assumptions are written down and stress-tested, and a data room laid out so a Bangkok investor finds answers without asking.

The investment story

Your CFO ties the financial case to the strategic one, so the deck, the model and the founder all tell the same story to the investment committee.

Clean compliance and governance

Filings, tax positions and corporate records are put in order before diligence starts, so nothing distracts from the investment case.

More than one role if needed

Where diligence goes deeper, we can match a fractional COO or CTO alongside your CFO, so the leadership team looks complete.

After the money arrives

Once the round closes, your CFO turns the deck's promises into board reporting, and we keep our governance around the engagement as the business changes.

Common questions

The questions buyers ask first

Usually within two to three weeks of the first call. Matching well matters more than matching fast, but if your round has a fixed timetable, tell us and we will say plainly what is possible.

Keep them. A fractional CFO works above them on strategy, modelling, investor communication and governance, and often develops them into a stronger finance manager along the way.

Investors care about competence. A seasoned CFO who knows the numbers and has been through diligence before adds credibility, however many days a week they work. The model is a sensible step between founder-run and fully institutional finance.

Your CFO checks that filings, tax positions and corporate records are current before diligence begins, and works with your accountant and lawyers to close any gaps early rather than under investor scrutiny.

Usually the CFO stays. Milestone tracking, reporting to new shareholders and building a finance team for the Series B take over from the raise, and the days per week are revisited with you.
