The Problem

Finance shouldn't feel like a monthly fire drill

Most founders try to scale before finance is ready. We fix that gap.

Why most founders struggle

Poor cashflow management
Delayed or inaccurate reporting
Compliance pressure and tax risk
Finance processes that don't scale
High cost of in-house teams

The Outcomes

What changes when Finalytics runs finance for your business

Strategic finance without the headcount. Focus on growth with precision, speed, and insight.

Finance Leadership

CFO-level direction, planning, and decision support. Beyond historical reporting.

Margin Control

How We Work

From fragmented finance to a CFO-led operating model

A clear, proven path. Built and run for you.

Outcome: clear confirmation of scope, priorities, and next steps
2
Step 2 · Mapping

Deep-Dive Workshop

We map how your finance function operates today across people, processes, tools, and risks: ownership and responsibilities, pain points and workflows, tools and data.

Outcome: an accurate current-state finance map and clear design inputs

Step 3 · Transformation & Operations

Embedded CFO-Led Finance Function

Weeks 1 to 4: Finance Transformation. We design your target finance architecture, rebuild core workflows, controls, and reporting, and implement tools, reconciliations, and foundations.

From week 4: Embedded Operations. We run day-to-day finance on your behalf, deliver consistent reporting and cashflow visibility, with ongoing CFO oversight and decision support.

Case Studies

Innovation that drives outcomes

We bring together financial technology, deep expertise, and proven processes to streamline operations and drive smarter decisions across the GCC.

Licensed Sports Retail

Multi-store profitability unlocked, with real-time control

Scaling fast on weak finance foundations: audits 12 months late, unknown store-level profitability, and 50k+ AED in annual cost leakage. We rebuilt the finance function into a CFO-led operating system with PO discipline, spend controls, and a 13-week rolling cashflow model.

Luxury Brand Marketing Agency

UAE and KSA finance consolidated under one partner

Regional scale had outgrown a decentralised model: duplicated tax advisers, fragmented AP, and no group-level control. We embedded a full Accounts Payable function, consolidated cross-border tax under one point of accountability, and led the Odoo ERP transformation.

Multi-year reconstruction to audit-ready, across two entities

Operations grew while finance fell materially behind: incomplete records across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, multiple unreconciled financial years, and overdue audits. We reconstructed historical accounts, resolved compliance risk, and transitioned into an embedded FaaS operating model.

Crypto Finance Reconstruction

15 months of trading data rebuilt to institutional grade

Crypto trading scaled faster than the finance infrastructure: data spread across exchanges, inconsistent classification, and unclear IFRS treatment. We reconstructed and validated financials across all exchanges and implemented a repeatable monthly crypto reporting engine.

What Clients Say

Founders who got finance off their plate

“We went from finding out our numbers two months late to reviewing them on the 5th of every month. The first time we saw store-level profitability clearly, it changed how we run the business.”
Geoff, COO
Sports Retail Group, UAE
“Finalytics took over our payables, receivables, and tax across the group, and it just runs. My team finally spends its time on the business instead of chasing invoices.”
Bruno, CFO
Brand Marketing Agency, UAE & KSA
“Years of backlog, audits overdue, constant stress. They rebuilt everything and now I get clean reports every month without having to ask.”
Dan, CEO
Commercial Print Services, Dubai
Secure Finance Workspace
FinLabs
AI-Powered CFO Intelligence

The innovation arm of Finalytics.

FAQ

Questions founders ask us

Do we lose control of our finances?

No. You keep full ownership and final approval on every payment and decision. We run the engine: processing, controls, reporting, and oversight. You get better data, earlier, and decide with confidence.

We already have an accountant or a small finance team. How does this work?

We embed around what exists. In some cases we take the transactional load off your team so they can focus higher up. In others we run the full function. The Deep-Dive Workshop maps the right structure before anything changes.

Which systems do you work with?

We work across the modern stack: Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho, Odoo, and the leading spend and expense platforms. Where systems are holding you back, we rebuild on tools that fit your stage and scale, and we lead the implementation.

How fast can we start?

The Finance Clarity Session can happen this week. Transformation runs in weeks 1 to 4: architecture, workflows, controls, and reporting rebuilt. From week 4 your finance function is embedded and running.

What does it cost?

A fraction of building in-house, typically around 70% less than a comparable internal team. Scope is modular: you take the tiers your business needs now and scale up as you grow. Pricing is confirmed after the Clarity Session.

Do you handle VAT and Corporate Tax?

Yes, end to end. Registrations, filings, compliance, and audit readiness for UAE VAT and Corporate Tax are owned by us, with cross-border support where you operate in more than one market.

What happens when we outgrow the setup?

That's the design. The tiered operating model scales from financial operations up to CFO leadership, and the architecture we build is transformation-ready. When you eventually hire in-house, you inherit a clean, documented, running function.

Is our financial data secure?

Yes. Access-controlled systems, defined approval workflows, and full audit trails on every transaction. Discipline and control are the product; that applies to your data as much as your numbers.
