Our Story

Built to Give Every Business Benefits of a Seasoned CFO

After years in finance across continents and industries, we recognized a critical gap — businesses have financial data, but often lack the strategic direction, visibility, and financial leadership needed to grow.

At Virtual CFO Management Consultancy, we deliver a holistic finance function — combining CFO-level strategy, financial oversight, and technology-enabled systems. Because every business deserves smart, proactive financial leadership.

Our Story

A Journey Across Finance, Industries & Continents

My journey in finance began with qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 2004. I started my career in audit, working with reputed firms, where I built a strong foundation in financial controls, compliance, and regulatory frameworks.

In 2009, I joined the Midcom Group — a diversified organization operating across 9 countries with a turnover exceeding $1 billion. I rose to the position of Group Financial Controller, gaining firsthand insight into how finance, used effectively, becomes a strategic driver of growth.

I identified a critical gap: while large organizations benefit from experienced CFOs, most growing businesses lack access to this level of expertise. This led to the foundation of Virtual CFO Management Consultancy in 2018.
