VitaminCFO™
One capsule a month. A full finance function.
Senior fractional CFO for pre-seed, pre-revenue startups anywhere. I run your numbers so you can chase product market fit.
You closed the round, and three deficiencies show up at once: admin overload, a knowledge gap, and a process gap. The close, the cap table, payroll, VAT, none of it is your job, and all of it is suddenly yours. So I plug in as your finance function: senior, part time, fluent in your stack and in the auditor's questions, while you stay on product, customers and the raise.
- ▸ You are pre-seed and pre-revenue, racing toward product market fit.
- ▸ Your founding team is technical, and finance is nobody's job yet.
- ▸ You just raised, or you are about to, and the numbers must be clean.
- ▸ You can be anywhere. I work remotely on CET, with your timezone covered.

I work remotely on CET, with your timezone covered, and I answer the same business day. Day to day we live in Slack, Telegram or email, whichever your team already uses. Your books run in Xero, payroll and contractors through Deel, the cap table in Ledgy, idle cash earns yield at Revolut and partner banks, and on-chain treasury sits behind a multi-sig. The platform fees are on me.
The first 30 days are pure integration: I take access to your banks, books and cap table, and by the end of it your numbers are clean and your runway is clear. From there the rhythm is simple: a call every two weeks, a monthly P&L with a variance analysis, and each quarter a fresh forecast and a new runway calculation. Once a quarter, if you want it, we do it in person.
I take a maximum of three founders at a time, so you get a senior finance person who is actually available and who tells you the truth about your numbers. And everything is built to hand over: once you have found true product market fit and Series B is in sight, that is the moment to bring finance in house, and I help you make that transition.
Founders who leave their finances untreated may experience sudden loss of runway, audit anxiety, and board meeting panic. Keep out of reach of bad bookkeeping. Not all finance help is equal, so choose a partner who is fast, fair and on your side. If symptoms such as a messy cap table or an unclear burn rate persist, talk to me.
Finance is not overhead. It is the nutrient a young company needs to grow without getting sick. Most founders treat it as something to deal with later, and later is usually the week before a board meeting or an audit.
VitaminCFO exists to change that. Think of me as the daily vitamin for your company's finances, a small and steady dose of senior finance that keeps you healthy, so you can put your energy where it belongs, into the product and the people.
And why fractional? Because one senior finance brain, applied at the right dose across three startups, does more good than the same brain locked inside one. Maximum impact, including for you.
Longevity for your org.
What is a fractional CFO?
A senior finance person who works with you part time. You get the judgment and the network of a CFO, without the cost, the equity or the lead time of a full time hire. For most startups before Series B, that is exactly the right amount of finance.
Do you work remotely?
Yes, fully remote on CET with your timezone covered, living in Slack, Telegram or email, with answers the same business day. And once a quarter we can sit in the same room, if you like your finance with eye contact.
Who do you work with?
Pre-seed, pre-revenue startups with technical founders, anywhere in the world. If you just raised, or you are about to, and finance is nobody's job yet, you are exactly who this capsule was made for.
Do you work with crypto and AI companies?
Yes. I have run finance from the inside at venture backed crypto and AI startups, so multi-sig treasuries, token grants and on-chain reporting are familiar ground, not a learning curve on your dime. At the 80mg dose I run the whole token and treasury stack.
Do you replace our accountant?
Ideally you do not have one yet, and I build the function cleanly from day one. If you do, I take over the interface with them so your exec team never has to think about it. And if they are terrible, I bring my own vetted network into your stack.
How do you keep our numbers secure?
Swiss confidentiality is the discipline I was trained in, and it shows. Everything lives in your own accounts, access is yours to revoke at any time, and I will sign your NDA, not mine. Since I ask for real access, trust runs both ways: I go through KYC with you and share my identity documents before you hand me anything.
Can you help us fundraise?
Yes. A real model, a clean data room and numbers you can defend are most of what a raise needs, and I build all three. I have sat on the company side of these rounds and I know what investors open first.
We are pre-revenue, is it too early?
Pre-revenue is exactly when I plug in. It is the moment the habits are cheapest to build and the mistakes are cheapest to fix, long before your first audit or your next raise makes them expensive.
What about tax, VAT and the filings?
Done for you. I run your filings, and the Swiss and local specifics go through vetted local partners, so deadlines stop being your problem.
How do we start?
One email. We book a call, I ask about your team, treasury, burn and stack, you get the full price list, and we pick the dose. I take three founders at a time, so the next start is usually about three months out. Worth reserving early.
How much does it cost?
The price list is not on the site, and that is deliberate: the right dose depends on your stage. Email me, and you will have the full price list right after our first call, billed in Swiss francs, with USDC accepted.
Why a twelve month commitment?
Finance done well compounds. A year covers one full cycle of your company: the closes, the reforecasts, the annual statements, usually a raise. Anything shorter is a patch, and patches are how startups get sick in the first place.
What if it is not working?
The mandate is one year, and I hold up my end for all of it. If we are not a fit, we finish the year with everything documented and built to hand over, and I help you transition to whatever comes next. No loose ends, no hostages.
Dispense with: your team size, treasury and burn rate.
Expect a reply the same business day.
