Meet Our Founder

Samuel

I founded ScaleUp CFO to provide fractional CFO services to startups and high-growth companies. Inspired by my mother’s struggles running a shoe store in Dalston, I learned early on that profitability and financial management are key to long-term success.

With 20 years of experience in financial management, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial high-quality CFO services are for startups. At ScaleUp CFO, we’re not just service providers—we’re partners, committed to helping founders navigate growth, secure funding, and achieve successful exits.

Beyond my work with ScaleUp CFO, I’m deeply committed to mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs, ensuring they have the support and knowledge needed to succeed."

Personal Quote: I believe that every business, no matter its size, deserves access to the financial leadership that drives growth and success. My goal is to simplify finance so you can focus on what you do best—running your business.

Insights on Financial Leadership

ScaleUp CFO’s Fractional CFO Services have empowered hundreds of entrepreneurs with financial strategies that drive informed, aligned decision-making. This isn’t just bookkeeping. Your reports show what’s happened; we guide you on what to do next. Our team of financial experts offers comprehensive support to leaders ready for next-level growth and profitability.

Many businesses thrive on marketing and operations but lack the financial leadership needed to scale. Hiring a full-time executive isn’t always feasible, especially with tight margins and cash flow. Whether you’re new or established, strategic financial decisions are crucial for sustainable growth.

Over half of small businesses don’t make it past the five-year mark. In many cases, the key factor that separates success from failure is the quality of financial decisions.
