For scale-ups
A CFO for your scale-up, ready for the next stage
A CFO for a scale-up builds the financial foundation fast growth needs: reliable reporting, a clear view of burn rate and runway, and a financial model that convinces investors. A fractional CFO does this part time, until the company is big enough for a full-time CFO.
Recent result: 500K raised for a food and beverage company. Experience from bootstrapped start-ups to scale-ups with over €20 million in funding, from deeptech and SaaS to FMCG.
Sound familiar?
- You grow fast, but your finance processes don't keep up
- You don't know exactly how many months of runway you have left
- Your board and investors ask for reporting you build by hand every time
- A new funding round is coming, but your model isn't investor ready
- You rely on spreadsheets nobody fully trusts anymore

Related serviceFrequently asked questions
When does a scale-up need a CFO?
Usually when growth outpaces the finance processes: ahead of a funding round, when the board asks for structured reporting, or when burn rate and runway become unclear.
Fractional or full-time CFO for a scale-up?
A fractional CFO fits as long as you can't fill or fund a full-time role. They set up the structure and often help hire the full-time CFO later.
Does a fractional CFO help with a funding round?
Yes. At Monastrell this covers a readiness check, an investor grade financial model, pitch deck review, a data room and support through due diligence until closing.
