Fractional Executive Search

Is your company ready for the questions investors ask now?

Since the funding correction, Indonesian investors test every assumption before they commit, and diligence exposes any gap in your finance. We find, vet and embed a CFO matched to your stage, who builds the model, owns the data room and stays with you after the money lands.

The situation

Why Jakarta rounds slow down

Investors have not stopped writing cheques. They have stopped forgiving gaps like these:

01

Documents that take weeks

When the data room is half built, every request becomes a delay, and investors read delays as a signal about the business.

02

Unit economics that do not hold

Growth projections that ignore contribution margin, or a model that disagrees with the accounts, will not survive an analyst's first pass.

03

The founder answering every finance question

In a cautious market, investors want to hear from a finance leader who owns the numbers, not a founder covering one more job.

04

Compliance surprises

Late tax filings, untidy shareholder records or, for regulated firms, open OJK items that should have been resolved a year earlier.

Each of these can be fixed before the round opens with the right CFO in place, and our collective can add operating or technology depth when diligence calls for it.

Is it the right fit?

Who this is for, and who it is not

Best for

  • Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
  • A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
  • Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
  • A founder carrying every financial question personally
  • Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up

Not for

  • A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
  • A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
  • A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
  • A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping

Raising in Jakarta

What a fractional CFO adds to your raise

The model, the data room and the story, owned by a finance leader matched for experience of Indonesian and regional investors.

800+Curated and vetted executives
2–3 weeksBrief to deployment
30–60%Less than a full-time hire, on our engagements

Numbers built to be tested

A three-to-five-year model grounded in unit economics, with documented assumptions and a clear path to profitability, and a data room ready before the first request.

A profitability story investors believe

Your CFO ties growth to margin and cash, and presents that case to venture funds, family offices and strategic investors.

Tax, reporting and listing readiness

Your CFO brings tax positions, statutory filings and governance up to date, and prepares for the exchange if a listing is part of the plan.

A wider team when diligence needs it

Pair the CFO with a COO, or bring in a CTO when investors want to examine the platform, timed to the round.

Through to delivery

After the close, your CFO reports to the board on the milestones you committed to, with our governance around the engagement throughout.

Common questions

The questions buyers ask first

Two to three weeks is typical from brief to a CFO in post. If the round has a fixed timetable, share it on the first call and we will be candid about the options.

A fractional CFO works above your finance team: strategy, investors, modelling and governance. They lead the people you have rather than replace them.

Investors here care about discipline and command of the numbers. A fractional CFO who knows the business and owns the data room shows both, and the model is familiar to capital-disciplined growth companies across the region.

Your CFO makes sure filings, tax positions and, for regulated firms, OJK reporting are current before diligence begins, working with your tax consultant, so nothing surfaces late.

The engagement continues. Your CFO moves on to delivery, tracking the milestones investors were promised and reporting to the board, while our governance stays in place.
