Great companies still struggle to raise when the numbers don’t tell the story.
Founders often go into fundraising with a strong vision and a weak model. The deck is built the week before the first meeting, the forecast doesn’t tie to the books, and the metrics investors care about aren’t tracked consistently.
Investors notice. Every inconsistency becomes a question, every question slows the process, and a raise that should take months drags on while the founder is pulled away from running the business.
What it costs you
Slower raises
Inconsistent numbers lead to more questions and longer diligence.
Weaker terms
Uncertainty gives investors reasons to discount.
A distracted founder
Building models and decks alone pulls you away from the business.
Missed opportunities
Unprepared companies struggle to move when the right partner appears.
Fundraising support, led by your CFO.
Raising capital takes more than a good story. Investors expect credible forecasts, clean metrics and financials that hold up in diligence.
Your Tier 3 fractional CFO prepares investor-ready financial models and pitch decks, supports you through diligence, and acts as your intermediary when working with qualified business brokers, capital allocators and investment bankers.
Founder’s Accounting™ does not take a fee or commission on any capital raise or transaction. Fundraising support is billed hourly for time beyond your allocated 10 hours per week. Any business broker, capital allocator or investment banker works under their own separate agreement with your company.
Available to Tier 3 clients.

Questions? Answers.
Is fundraising support available without Tier 3?
Fundraising and pitch deck projects are available to Tier 3 clients, because they rely on the CFO, reporting and books your Tier 3 team maintains.
Do you take a success fee?
No. Founder’s Accounting™ does not take a fee or commission on any capital raise or transaction. Fundraising support is billed hourly for time beyond your allocated 10 hours per week. Any business broker, capital allocator or investment banker works under their own separate agreement with your company.
Do you introduce us to investors?
Your CFO acts as your intermediary with qualified business brokers, capital allocators and investment bankers you choose to work with. Those parties work under their own agreements with your company.
