Fractional CFO Services
Strong foundations. Smarter growth.
Behind every successful scale-up is a rock-solid financial and governance core. At Scattergood, we provide more than just number-crunching. We ensure your company’s financial and legal foundations are robust, compliant, and aligned—so you can scale with confidence.
Our CFO services focus on getting the fundamentals right, fast. Whether you're raising capital, preparing for growth, or managing complexity, we help you set the structure that underpins your vision.

Why it matters:
​
Legal and financial readiness isn’t admin—it’s architecture. Weak foundations erode trust, slow execution, and deter investors. But when these are built right, they unlock momentum. At Scattergood, we help founders build from strength.
And we make sure you have the right resource and support to cover the entire finance function. See Detailed Services at the bottom of the page.
