I build the financial and commercial infrastructure that takes a business from $5 million to $50 million in revenue: the raises, pricing, unit economics and reporting that scaling demands.
Scaling new regions, 10× growth, raises across Series A to D, and a downturn survived. The stages you’re facing, I’ve already run.
Finance, legal, HR and statutory compliance for a Series A SaaS business selling into over 20 countries. All run from a single desk.
“Matt is a deeply commercial CFO. He built us an accounting function that is efficient, automated and compliant, and then kept it out of everyone’s way. He has the executive presence to hold a decision to the company’s long-term financial interest when the room would rather do something else.”
Employee #4, built finance and legal from a blank page, scaled it through hypergrowth to Vienna’s #1 online supermarket, then survived a market correction.
“Matt built the finance department from scratch without systems or a playbook. His strong analytical and process management skills allow him to approach financial challenges with confidence and ingenuity. … I considered Matt as my wingman, having my back and helping out whenever needed.”
Brought in by the Integration Director to close out the integration: three-person team reporting to the Group CFO.
“Matt’s redesigned process delivered the information required using a fraction of the resources and was implemented well ahead of schedule.”
Built and ran a 40-person accounting and reporting function.
“Matt did a great job for us helping to shape our strategy for Finance and then setting up our new Accounting & Reporting Delivery team from scratch.”
Engaged to lead process and systems improvement across a buy-and-build programme expanding the business 50%+ into Western Europe.
“Worked with all stakeholders to quickly understand critical business issues, then design and clearly articulate practical and strategically sound solutions.”
For over 15 years I’ve run finance in fast-growth and operationally complex companies across Australia, Europe and the UK. Employee #4 building a market from nothing to $130m. Scaling an energy tech B2B SaaS business 10×. The steady hand through raises and a downturn.
I know your side of the table: the board asking for numbers the team can’t yet produce, the raise where the model has to be bulletproof, the revenue quietly leaking through billing that hasn’t kept up with the product. I bring order to it: reporting the board trusts, a model that holds up to scrutiny, revenue billed and collected, runway you can see and extend. A finance function that grows with the company instead of breaking under it. Based in Sydney, working with growth-stage founders across Australia and New Zealand.
