Navigating the Challenges of Growth
You may have a handle on your company’s numbers, but understanding your startup’s financial position is less simple. Burn rate, runway, and investor-ready reporting all turn basic numbers into complex topics.

About Our Services
FAQs
Startups face unique challenges, including rapid growth, venture capital requirements, and investor relations demands that differ significantly from established small businesses. Our CFO service addresses these specific needs with expertise in fundraising support, scenario planning, and building financial models that resonate with potential investors.
CFO engagement often serves as the foundation for comprehensive financial operations. Many startups combine this with financial reporting, cash flow consulting, or controller services to prepare for funding rounds, acquisitions, or long-term success strategies.
A dedicated CFO provides more than numbers; they highlight trends in cash flow, burn rate, and operational efficiency. These real-time insights guide strategic planning and help founders avoid costly mistakes while positioning for sustainable growth.
Cathcap brings fractional CFO expertise at a fraction of the cost. We provide financial leadership, internal controls, and expert guidance without the overhead of a full-time executive.
Ideally, startups should engage CFO services before major funding rounds, during periods of rapid growth, or when financial complexity exceeds what basic bookkeeping can manage. Early engagement helps establish internal controls and financial strategy that support long-term success.
