Capital, instrumented.

We advise founders and founder-led companies on fiscal architecture, treasury, and the financial decisions that compound — with an auditor's eye and an operator's instinct. We don't manage portfolios. We build the system underneath the business.

01 · Practice areas

Four things we do well.

We turn down everything adjacent. We don't manage investment portfolios or hold client funds — and we say so in the first meeting.
FI/01

Fiscal Architecture & Tax

Tax strategy and entity structure built so they don't trap you later. The fiscal angle from someone who has audited how these structures behave under pressure — not a template from a generalist.

FI/02

Treasury & Cash Flow

Liquidity mapping, cash-flow discipline, and treasury policy for early-stage businesses. Built before the line of credit gets called, not after.

FI/03

Planning & Modeling

Financial planning and modeling for founder-led companies — the numbers that drive the decisions, maintained by someone who runs businesses, not just spreadsheets.

FI/04

Audit-Grade Review

A pre-transaction review before you raise or sell. We pressure-test the financials with an auditor's eye so diligence doesn't surface what you should have caught first.

02 · Who we work with

Three types of mandate.

01

Founders

Personal and company fiscal clarity — before and after a liquidity event. The structures, the treasury, and the planning a founder is too close to see clearly.

We work with founders who are too busy to manage this well and too close to their own companies to think about it clearly. We hold the clarity they need but don't have time to maintain.

02

Founder-led companies

Treasury policy, cash-flow management, and financial modeling for operating businesses — typically €1M–€20M in revenue.

Most founder-led companies treat treasury and planning as an afterthought until the situation demands it. We help build the system before it's urgent.

03

Pre-transaction

Audit-grade financial review before a fundraise or a sale event.

We pressure-test the numbers with an auditor's eye so diligence doesn't surface what you should have found first. Quiet, fast, written.

03 · Mandate model

How an engagement runs.

01

Diagnostic

Three weeks. We review the current fiscal structure, liquidity position, and financial model with an auditor's eye. Written report, no slide deck.

02

Plan

A single document: where the structure should be, at what cost, on what timeline. Signed off by both sides before anything changes.

03

Maintain

Quarterly review. The plan updates when the business changes — not the relationship. Built to run for years, not quarters.
