Every engagement is senior-led and built around your stage. ### Fractional CFO Retainer Ongoing, embedded finance leadership — a set number of days each month with full strategic ownership. - Best for scale-ups & VC-backed companies - Monthly cadence & board support ### Project & Fundraising Defined-scope engagements — a fundraise, a model build, a finance transformation or a grant application. - Fixed outcome & timeline - Investor-grade deliverables ### Outsourced Finance Function We run finance operations and reporting end to end, overseen by senior leadership. - Best for SMEs & founder-led businesses - Scales with your growth FAQ ## Common questions What's the difference between a fractional CFO and an accountant?+ An accountant records and reports what has happened and keeps you compliant. A fractional CFO is a strategic partner focused on what happens next — cashflow, forecasting, fundraising, profitability and the commercial decisions that drive growth. ScotchWise is a strategic finance partner, not a bookkeeping or compliance practice. How quickly can we get started?+ Most engagements begin with a strategy call and a short diagnostic, then move into delivery within a couple of weeks. Urgent fundraising or cashflow situations can be prioritised. Do you replace our existing bookkeeper or accountant?+ Not necessarily. We frequently work alongside your existing bookkeeper or accountant, adding the strategic and analytical layer above them. Where you'd benefit from a fully managed function, our finance outsourcing service can take that on. What size of business do you work with?+ We typically partner with businesses in the €500k–€25m revenue range — SaaS, technology, cybersecurity, professional services and other ambitious, founder-led or venture-backed companies. Which regions do you serve?+ We work with clients across Ireland, the United Kingdom, the UAE and India, and are headquartered in Dubai. Engagements are delivered remotely with on-site time where it adds value. How is pricing structured?+ Pricing depends on scope and cadence — typically a monthly retainer for fractional CFO and outsourcing engagements, or a fixed fee for defined projects such as a fundraise or model build. We'll propose a clear scope and price after the initial strategy call. ## Not sure which service you need? That's exactly what the strategy call is for. We'll listen, look at your numbers and recommend the right starting point — no obligation.
