1. Support for Entrepreneurs During the Early Stages of Growth

Entrepreneurs often start out with a great accountant who is keeping the books, running payroll, and staying on top of taxes. But as the business starts to scale, financial complexity grows, and you need clarity on where you're headed.

That’s where Seahorse comes in. Starting at just half a day a week, we help you:

  • Build an accurate, dynamic forecast

  • Understand what’s driving growth and profitability

  • Track key metrics and make confident decisions

We fill the gap between hiring an accountant and hiring your first CFO — giving you the insights you need, and the time to make a great hire.

2. A Dedicated FP&A Resource for Fractional CFOs

Fractional CFO are often brought in during times of rapid growth or change. This is a pivotal role — guiding CEOs through strategic decisions, managing investor relationships, and keeping the financial engine running smoothly.

But day-to-day finance work piles up fast. Between closing the books, fundraising, and team expansion, there’s often little time left for forecasting or financial analysis. And no time to train up a new analyst.

That’s where Seahorse comes in.

We’re here to support fractional CFOs by taking on the planning and analysis workload, and freeing you up to focus on the high-value strategic work your clients hired you to do.  Seahorse helps you stay ahead of the curve — delivering insight, clarity, and bandwidth exactly when and where it’s needed.

3. On-demand FP&A Support for Full-Time CFOs

A full-time CFO in a growth-stage business is likely wearing a dozen hats — guiding strategy, managing cash, supporting the CEO, handling investor relations, overseeing operations, and more.

You could build out an FP&A function — but junior hires take time to ramp up, and senior hires come at a premium. In the meantime, the analytical workload is real: budgets, forecasts, board decks, KPI reporting, scenario planning. The list keeps growing.

That’s where Seahorse comes in.

We offer experienced, on-demand FP&A support that integrates seamlessly with your finance function. For less than the cost of a junior hire, we provide senior-level insight, fast execution, and trusted partnership — without the overhead of another full-time employee.
