No pitch. Just an honest conversation about whether this is the right fit.

The peer at your leadership table you never had.

At the growth stage, the biggest decisions in your business tend to be strategic and financial. The problem is that most owner-operators have never had a peer to think those decisions through with. Not an accountant reporting on the past. Not a mentor offering general wisdom. A peer with senior commercial experience, in the room, thinking with you.

Embedded Partnership fills that gap. Fractional CFO thinking, applied to your specific business, at the leadership table where the decisions actually get made.

Senior CFO thinking without the $250,000 salary. Peer-level partnership at the table where the real decisions get made.

Strategic and financial partnership at the leadership level.

Every engagement is scoped to the business it supports, but the core work typically includes:

  • Regular attendance at leadership team meetings as the senior commercial and financial voice
  • Building and maintaining the financial models that inform your biggest decisions
  • Quarterly performance reviews and forward planning sessions
  • Direct working relationships with your accountant, bank, lawyer and other professional advisors
  • Availability between meetings for live commercial decisions and difficult conversations
  • Shareholder, partnership and governance conversation support when the stakes are highest

Growth-stage businesses making decisions that matter.

This service works best for:

  • Established owner-operated businesses in the $3 million to $20 million revenue range
  • Founders working with partners or shareholders where the strategic conversations need a senior peer
  • Businesses at an inflection point: expansion, restructure, transition, succession or exit
  • Owners who have grown the business but sense they are now making the biggest decisions alone

Everything you need to know.

How this sits alongside our training. Embedded Partnership is not registered training. It is a premium ongoing advisory engagement where I sit at your leadership table as the senior commercial voice. If you would prefer to build strategic and operational planning capability yourself first, our registered training programme is the place to start.
