Continents. One consistent standard.

Chartered qualified. Commercially focused.

The financial thinking behind some of the world's most ambitious businesses — now available to yours.

Finance that moves
at the speed of growth.

Most fast-growing startups hit the same wall: the business is scaling, but the financial infrastructure isn't. Forecasts are manual, pricing decisions are gut-feel, and the board wants answers the team can't yet provide.

Arken Advisory exists to close that gap. I bring the financial frameworks of a large enterprise — built and stress-tested at Apple across billions in revenue — and apply them at startup speed.

Whether you need a robust revenue model, pricing strategy for a new product, or board-ready reporting that tells a coherent story, I work as a true partner to your team: embedded, direct, and focused on outcomes.

Services

Where I can
make a difference.

I work with a small number of clients at any one time, which means you get genuine senior attention — not a junior team with a partner's name on the door.

01

FP&A & revenue forecasting

Build forecasting infrastructure that gives your leadership team real confidence — monthly models, variance analysis, and demand signals that actually inform decisions.

02

GTM finance partnership

Bring financial rigour to your go-to-market strategy. From pricing new products and evaluating deals to investment prioritisation and unit economics.

04

Finance process transformation

Modernise slow, manual reporting cycles using AI tools, Tableau, and automation — freeing your team to focus on analysis, not spreadsheet management.

05

Fractional CFO retainer

Ongoing strategic finance support on a monthly retainer — for founders who need a trusted senior finance voice without the cost of a full-time hire.

06

Capital investment strategy

Design and run investment planning processes — from market expansion modelling to CAPEX prioritisation — ensuring every dollar is deployed with clear ROI logic.

Simple,
direct,
no fuss.

01

Initial conversation

We spend 30 minutes understanding where your business is, what's working, and where the financial gaps are. No charge, no obligation.

02

Scoped proposal

I'll outline a clear scope of work — either a defined project or an ongoing retainer — with transparent pricing and expected outcomes.

03

Embedded partnership

I work directly with your team — in your tools, in your meetings — as a genuine finance partner, not a distant consultant who emails a deck.

04

Outcomes that last

The goal is always to leave your team stronger: with better processes, clearer frameworks, and the confidence to make decisions on solid financial ground.

Let's talk
about your business.

I take on a limited number of clients at any one time. If you're building something ambitious and need a senior finance partner, I'd love to hear from you.
