EXECUTIVE SEARCH: CFO, CFO-1, INTERIM & FRACTIONAL FINANCE SUPPORT

Sustainable CleanTech Finance Leadership

In the race to a greener future, CleanTech finance leaders are the ones ensuring capital flows to where it matters most. They play a critical role in turning innovation into impact by navigating capital-intensive projects, long development cycles, and evolving regulatory landscapes with strategic clarity.

We partner with the founders, CFOs, and VCs of CleanTech businesses to build finance teams that drive strategic growth, funding readiness, and financial compliance while aligning with environmental and ESG goals. Financial leaders in CleanTech must combine commercial discipline with long-term impact thinking. 

We have a network full of CleanTech finance leaders that bring experience in:

  • Modelling project finance and grant-backed funding

  • Navigating hardware-software hybrid business models

  • Forecasting around capex-heavy infrastructure

  • Aligning financial planning with ESG and sustainability KPIs

  • Preparing for public/private funding rounds

  • Reporting on impact to investors and regulatory bodies

We specialise in finding finance talent who blend ambition with accountability.

TESTIMONIALS

As a pre-series A business, we were unsure of the kind of finance support we required but after an initial conversation, we agreed that fractional CFO support would be best for us at this stage. Andrew really took the time to understand our business values, culture and milestones we were hoping to hit and presented us with a few consultants that could help us analyse and elevate our business. As a busy founder, he really took the stress out of researching startup-specific profiles and provided us with a cost-effective arrangement that would enable us to grow. This service has given us the opportunity to experience exec-level support and consider evolving the relationship into a long-term partnership.
