Karen Stephen — CEO
I operate as a Fractional CFO remotely and help CEOs achieve sustainable growth and positive cash flow. Being fluent in finance and all business KPIs, I can easily translate to ambitious CEO’s the elements that are holding their business back. Are you looking to improve the financial performance of your company? Starting a business is simple. Everyone is doing it. But maintaining a viable business is the real challenge. If you are struggling to establish financial stability in your new business, allow me to let you in on a little secret, you are not the only one! HOW CAN I HELP? I work with multiple businesses just like yours to: ✔️Identify the issues that are restricting cashflow ✔️Demonstrate methods that can improve these issues and optimize cashflow ✔️Agree the key performance indicators (KPIs) that need to be monitored regularly ✔️Provide adequate management reporting that will allow management to effectively run their business, through visibility of their KPIs and their cashflow I can do the same for you. WHO DO I WORK WITH? I focus primarily on ecommerce & digital subscription businesses, but my experience and training allows for companies of all varieties. After all, finance foundations can be applied across all business types. The key traits that link my clients together are that they are ✔️Driven to SUCCEED ✔️Motivated to LEARN about their finances ✔️OPEN to advice; and ✔️Supportive of REMOTE work culture WHY ME? Outside of my qualified track record (see below), I am most appreciated for my ability to break down financial information in a way that anyone will understand. I speak French, I speak Spanish, and I speak finance. Languages and communication have been an interest and talent of mine since I was a child, and my clients often appreciate that I can translate their financials into their language.
