Fractional CFO

Your CFO, one to two days a week.

A fractional CFO in Dubai, working with the team you have: numbers you can trust, and decisions made with them. For one company or a group, including family groups.

Led by Charif Takieddine. He has been the CFO of founder-led and family businesses.

What you can count on

  • Your numbers early each month, and cash week by week.
  • A number before each big decision: a hire, a new market, a loan or an acquisition.
  • A CFO who can answer the bank, the auditor and the investor.
  • A finance team with clear deadlines each month.

The work

  • The month-end, with a short pack by day 5 as the aim, and the full close by mid-month.
  • Where the money goes next: what the next investment would earn, and what it does to the rest of the business.
  • For a group, one set of numbers, and each company on its own.

Your accountant stays

We work alongside your accountant and your auditor, and alongside your finance head if you have one. Tax filing and audit stay with them, and so do the books, unless they need work.

How it runs

A part-time CFO, on a monthly retainer. The first two to three months are the heavy part: a few working sessions with you, and a deep look at the financials. Then the work settles at one to two days a week, in person or fully remote. Charif Takieddine is your CFO, or co-CFO alongside a CFO from our team who has worked in your industry and region, in companies or groups your size.
