About River

I help founders, CEOs, and executive teams gain financial clarity, improve profitability, and confidently scale.

As a Fractional CFO and Strategy Consultant with 13+ years of global experience, I specialize in supporting startups, scale-ups, and SMEs who need high-impact financial leadership without the cost of a full-time CFO.

How I can help you:
  • Financial strategy, fundraising, and investor readiness
  • Business planning, budgeting, and cash flow forecasting
  • Profitability improvement and financial performance analysis
  • Monthly management reporting with actionable insights
  • Operational efficiency and cost optimization
  • Bridging the gap between operations and finance departments
  • Management training, accountability, and culture shift
Whether you’re preparing for your next funding round, navigating rapid growth, or simply looking to make smarter financial decisions, I provide clear, hands-on guidance that helps you build a stronger, more sustainable business.

🌍 I’ve advised over 300 companies across the U.S., Europe, Middle East, and Asia, working closely with founders and leadership teams across industries like technology, fintech, logistics, construction, service, and manufacturing.

If you're looking for more than just spreadsheets or financial statements, I bring strategic thinking, real-world operating experience, and a collaborative approach to help you unlock more value in your business.

Let’s connect to see how I can help solve the issues in front of you and support your long-term growth.
