Senior CFO-level expertise on a part-time or project basis, providing strategic financial leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive. Ideal for startups, SMEs and growth-stage businesses that need to scale intelligently without increasing permanent overheads.
Led by Vaibhav Madan, Managing Partner at HLS Global SEA, with over 20 years of experience across CFO (Asia Pacific), audit and risk advisory roles at ERM, KPMG, Deloitte and EXL Services.
Companies often reach a stage where founder-led finance is no longer enough, but a full-time CFO hire isn't yet justified. A fractional CFO bridges that gap by providing investor-grade financial leadership exactly when and how much the business needs it.
Our Fractional CFO services are designed for ambitious businesses that need experienced financial leadership without the commitment of a full-time CFO.
Founder-led businesses preparing for their next stage of growth.
Companies 3–6 months from fundraising needing investor-ready financials.
Businesses expanding across Singapore, India and Southeast Asia.
Organisations requiring board reporting, KPI packs and stronger controls.
Businesses preparing for institutional diligence or governance upgrades.
