01
Diagnose
A books, compliance and controls health check in week one. You get a written read on risk, gaps and quick wins — before any long-term commitment.
Why us
A CFO office, not an accounting vendor
LekhaSetu CFO is a partner-led CFO practice. We own the finance agenda end to end: capital structure and runway strategy, unit economics and pricing, board and investor reporting, treasury and working capital, risk, controls and governance — with a full accounting and compliance engine underneath so the numbers are never the bottleneck. You get partner-level judgement on tap and a delivery team behind it, at a fraction of a full-time CFO cost.
How an engagement runs
Four phases, no guesswork
02
Stabilise
Close calendar, reconciliations, statutory calendar and approval workflows. The basics stop consuming founder attention.
03
Steer
Monthly MIS, budget vs actual, cash forecasting and a leadership review that turns numbers into decisions.
04
Scale
Diligence readiness, financial models, internal financial controls and investor reporting as you raise and grow.
What's different
A partner, not a portal
Every engagement has a named partner who joins your reviews, reads your board deck and picks up the phone.
Built for startup velocity
We are used to changing pricing models, new entities, ESOP pools, cross-border invoicing and monthly pivots.
Documentation over heroics
Every recurring task has an SOP, an owner and a due date, so the function survives people changes.
Transparent commercials
Fixed monthly scope, no surprise billing, and a clear upgrade path between Basic, Standard and Premium.
