01The Diagnosis

It all waits on you. So nothing outgrows you.

Exhibit AThree stages, one way through
YOU WHAT ACTUALLY GETS DONE

Tap the stage that feels tightest in your firm.

1.1

Every firm runs on three stages: getting clients, delivering the work, and keeping the back office in order. On your own, all three land on you. With a small team, they take the client work, and everything around it still lands on you.

1.2

One of them is tighter than the other two, and it sets the pace for everything. You probably already know which one is yours.

1.3

The usual fixes each leave you holding something: a hire you cannot keep busy between projects, virtual assistants you have to find, train and manage one by one, or AI tools that wait for you to start them.

1.4

What is missing is someone who notices, across the whole firm. Who sees the invoice that is slipping and chases it, the documents a client still owes for the month-end and gets them in, the deliverable that needs a first version and starts it, and the thing that keeps going wrong and proposes the fix. Then asks you, because you decide.

NoteTake the work off the tight stage and the whole firm moves.
02Is This You?

Who benefits most, and who barely would.

Table 1Who this is for, and who it is not
Fractional CFOs and outsourced controllers
Every client’s month-end, board deck and forecast lands on you. We run the work behind them, from chasing the documents to the first draft, so your hours go to the advice.
✓ FIT
FP&A and financial-modeling consultants
The models, the packs and the data behind them take most of your week. We build and maintain them, so you can take on more clients.
✓ FIT
M&A, valuation and transaction advisors
Each deal brings a model, a memorandum and a data room to build. We draft them, so you keep your time for the work only you can do.
✓ FIT
Firms that want it all in house
You would rather hire and manage your own people. Respect. You don't need us.
✗ NOT A FIT
Enterprises with procurement cycles
Enterprise buying takes months of meetings, and right now our time belongs to our first few clients. Maybe a year from now. Not today.
○ NOT YET
03What We Take

Your firm’s operations, run for you.

3.1

Think of everything a COO and the people under them would run: the money coming in, the contracts, the client updates, and the first drafts of the work itself. We take on all of it, and we do the work instead of advising on it.

3.2

We start where nothing needs explaining: the back office. From there it grows two ways: you hand over whatever you want off your plate, and we propose what we see. Either way it is done the way you already work, and you decide what moves, and when.

NoteNot on the list? If you can show us how you do it, or just a finished example, we can take it on. A lot of this we simply do and then show you, and you decide whether to use it. The advice, the signature, your money, your tax and the selling always stay with you.
04The Alternatives

Why not just hire someone?

05What You See

It is all on your dashboard, whenever you want to look.

5.1

It shows what is planned, what is moving and what is done, whether your routine work ran on time, a timeline for every engagement, progress against plan, and a wiki of everything we know about your firm. Ask for the view you want, and we build it into your dashboard.

06Who Does The Work

You deal with the person doing the work.

6.1

I come to your work from inside finance: seven years at a state-owned port group, where I review the business cases, valuations and M&A work behind its investment decisions.

Farras Nabiel
Farras NabielFounder · Jakarta
EducationCivil Engineering, ITB
CertificationPMP · Advanced Financial Modelling and Valuation
Career
  • Seven years at a state-owned port group, across business development, investment and risk
  • A share divestment of a toll road built for over $800 million: the valuation, the transaction model, investor search, due diligence and the draft sale and shareholders’ agreements
  • Business cases and feasibility studies for new investments
  • Reviews consulting and investment-bank deliverables for a living
Team
  • Has trained more than twenty people in analysis, reporting, process work and AI
  • Built the team that now runs most of his work without him
6.2

I build the team the way I built mine at the port group: one piece of work at a time, until their version is as good as mine. For the first clients I do the work myself, and the team joins as I train them, so the standard you see in month one is the standard that stays.

6.3

The team will be in Jakarta, drawn from graduates of Indonesia’s top universities and leading ones in the US, the UK and Australia, who find few local jobs that use what they can do. Paying them well above the local rate still keeps the work well below what it would cost you at home.

07Going First

You get the work done. I get the feedback. And the testimonial, if I earn it.

7.1

I am taking on my first three clients now. At this stage a case study is worth more to me than the fee, so I do the work myself, give it more time than it strictly needs, and build what you ask for rather than what fits a package.

7.2

The first month is free. If you are not amazed by the end of it, I keep improving the work, still free, until you are, or until it is clear I cannot give you what you need. In exchange: honest feedback, and a testimonial if I earn one.

NoteOnce you start paying, you pay the lowest rate we will ever charge, locked for as long as you stay.
08How It Goes

Your back office first, then you decide what’s next.

First month free · first three clients
How we work with you
  1. One channel, the one you already use, and one person on our side who answers it.
  2. We don’t wait to be asked: we keep things moving and propose ways to improve how your firm runs.
  3. You approve everything that goes to your clients, until you tell us it can go straight out.
  4. We ask for what we need the way a colleague would: a document, a quick answer, who to contact.
  5. Every Friday morning in your time zone, we send a short update on what we finished, what is next and what we need from you.
  6. Calls as often as you need them: weekly to start, then more or fewer as you prefer.

09Questions, Answered

The questions you probably have.

9.1

“Is it actually free?” Yes, the first month is free for my first three clients. If you are not amazed by the end of it, I keep improving the work, still free, until you are, or until it is clear I cannot give you what you need.

9.2

“Who sees my data?” Only our team, under an NDA. Where we use AI tools, they are set up so that nothing you share is used to train them. When you stop, your data is deleted and we confirm that in writing.

9.3

“How much of my time does this take?” Far less than it gives back. Forty-five minutes to start, then some reading in the first weeks, and less each month as we learn how you work. Your dashboard shows the hours we return every month, measured against your own estimate of how long each task took you.

9.4

“I already have a team. Why you?” We take the work that can be handed over, which frees your team’s time for the work that matters more. They get more out of their week, and you get more out of their salaries.

9.5

“Will I still need all my software?” Probably not all of it. Proposal tools, project trackers, transcription and scheduling apps are often things we can do for you, or replace with something simpler built around how you work. Your accounting software stays.

9.6

“What is not included?” Finding you clients, advising your clients in your place, signing on your behalf, or touching your money or your tax. Those stay with you.

9.7

“What if you disappear tomorrow?” Everything we do for you is on your dashboard, the files, the written steps for every task and the wiki of how your firm works, and you can download all of it whenever you like. I will not disappear without warning either: if I ever had to stop, you would get a month’s notice and a proper handover.

9.8

“Where are you based?” I’m in Jakarta, and the team will be too. Wherever you are, you get a reply within one working day, and anything you mark urgent comes first. Routine work runs to the dates on your run sheet, and for anything new we agree the deadline when you ask. If you need a quicker turnaround or help outside working hours, around a close or a deal, we can arrange it.

Borrowed from a four-thousand-year-old job

From ancient Egypt to the Ottomans, the vizier ran a state’s daily business so the ruler could decide rather than administer. That is the job: we do the work, you make the calls. It’s why we’re called Vizieros.

Grow past the limit of your own time.

We run everything behind you,
so a day of your time goes to the work only you can do.

The first month is free for the first three fractional CFOs or finance consultants.
