Why startups run out of cash, and what a fractional CFO builds to stop it.
Is it time for a fractional CFO?
If one of these sounds familiar, your finance function has outgrown bookkeeping. That is where we come in.
38%
of failed startups cite running out of cash or failing to raise capital. CB Insights reviewed 111 post-mortems.Source: CB Insights, via SmartCompanyRead: Why startups fail →Cash surprises you
You learn about a shortfall after it happens, not weeks before.
The books close late
Month-end reports arrive weeks after the month, too late to act on.
You cannot see margins
You cannot say which product, channel or customer actually makes money.
Funding is coming
A bank, investor or buyer will soon ask for numbers you cannot yet produce.

Built for startup needs
The questions founders actually face: how long is our runway, what does growth cost, and are our numbers ready for investors?
Runway & Burn Control
A 13-week cash forecast that shows runway, burn and the week you reach your safety buffer, so you decide before cash decides for you.
Spend & Unit Economics
CAC, payback, gross margin and return by channel and tool, so you scale what earns and cut what does not.
Raise-Ready Numbers
An investor model, a KPI pack and a clear use of funds, prepared before due diligence starts.
Finance Stack & Compliance
Xero or QuickBooks set up, Stripe reconciled, a monthly close in days, and VAT or BAS dates on the calendar.
Support for every startup stage
Fixed-fee projects or a monthly retainer, agreed in writing. Start with a free discovery call.
Pre-seed: Foundations
Books set up, a first 13-week forecast and spend tracking, so you know your runway from day one.
Seed: Raise-Ready
Investor model, KPI pack, monthly close and a Burn Audit before and during your round.
Series A and Beyond: Scale
Monthly CFO support: board and investor reporting, unit economics, budgets and vendor negotiation.
Why founders choose Akram
One CFO who can challenge every spend and prove the return.
Audit-grade numbers
Qualified CPA with a Big 4 audit background. Your numbers are checked before auditors and investors check them.
Marketing return, measured
Impressions mean nothing until they become cost per lead, CAC and payback. I measure the return on every spend.
Speaks engineering
I know if a vendor's API price is fair, work out build versus buy, and build it myself when that is cheaper.
Negotiates the deal
Vendor, technology and commercial terms, negotiated with a finance and technical view of their real worth.
Based in Muscat and Sydney: reporting in OMR and AUD for startups on both sides of the corridor.
