The finance team for startups and not-for-profits

We run the finance function for tech companies and not-for-profits across Australia. Payroll, supplier payments, compliance and reporting, run by a team that knows your sector.

A finance team that you want and enjoy

Handing over finance should feel like gaining a team, not losing sight of your numbers. We'll learn how your organisation works, then build you a finance function that's efficient and does what it should, using the systems and processes we know work.

You'll know the people doing the work and you'll be able to get hold of them. Ask us anything, even the stuff you reckon you should already know. And you'll still get the visibility, with reporting and approval systems built for whoever needs to see it.

Automation is our best friend, and we're always hunting for new ways to make things run better. We treat your time as our most valuable resource. If you're spending less of it chasing numbers and more on the work you actually enjoy, we'll know we've done a good job.

Who we work with

Growing tech companies and not-for-profits are where we do our best work. Both need finance teams run by people who know the sector, and that's what we're here for. We also work with VCs across their portfolio companies to give confidence in the numbers.

Not-for-profits

Boards want to know finance is being run properly, and most not-for-profits are relying on someone stretched across three other jobs to make that happen. We become the finance team, so compliance, systems and board reporting are all covered.

Tech companies

Outsourcing your finance function costs less than an in-house hire, and you get a whole team rather than one person. We'll take on the payroll, the supplier payments, the compliance and the reporting, so your leadership can stay on the work only they can do.

Venture capitalists

Our co-founders have been exposed to a wide range of sectors in over 30 years of combined industry experience. We get our kicks from saving investment managers loads of time and maintaining financial quality control for both VCs and their portfolio companies.

New business

We set brand new businesses up with the right foundations from books to bank accounts, and find software solutions that they can scale up as they grow. As specialist new business accountants, we're here to help you every step of the way.

Andrius Petrosius

“Project Alfred streamlined our finance department and went above and beyond solving various challenges we've been facing as a startup. Liam and Amy are an incredible team and their service is probably the best virtual CFO service out there for startups in Australia.”

Gabrielle
