CFO as a Service
Financial clarity. Smarter decisions. Scalable growth.
Great businesses don’t just grow. They plan for it. At Qirat, our CFO as a Service offering brings you experienced financial leadership, helping you make informed decisions, manage risks, and become investment-ready—without the full-time CFO salary.
Whether you're preparing for a fundraising round, expanding into a new market, or looking for deeper insight into your unit economics, we bring the right structure and strategy to help your finances scale with your business.
“You lead the vision. We’ll build the numbers to back it.”
Why It Matters
According to U.S. Bank, 82% of business failures are due to poor cash flow management or understanding of cash flow (U.S. Bank Study).
Harvard Business Review found that companies with strong financial planning capabilities grow 33% faster than their peers (Harvard Business Review).
Forbes reports that companies using fractional CFOs reduce operational overhead by up to 40% while improving decision-making efficiency (Forbes).
When your numbers tell the right story, investors and stakeholders listen.
