The Financial Challenges Facing Growing Tech Businesses
Like many rapidly growing tech companies, Kyero.com faced the challenge of scaling its operations while maintaining control over its finances. Although the business had been successful in moving entirely online and embracing a remote-first culture early on, the financial oversight hadn’t evolved at the same pace.
As the company matured, Louise and her husband recognised the need for more strategic financial leadership. They needed someone who could:
- Bring clarity to their financial reporting
- Provide confidence in forecasting and investment decisions
- Support the business at board level — without the cost of a full-time Finance Director
The challenge was finding someone experienced, adaptable, and capable of working flexibly around a growing, forward-thinking business.
Why a Fractional Finance Director Was the Right Fit
Artemis Clarke worked closely with Louise to understand Kyero’s operational model, team structure, and future goals. It became clear that a Fractional Finance Director (FFD) would offer the best value — providing senior-level expertise without the need for a full-time hire.
A carefully selected part-time Finance Director was placed into the business. They brought:
• Strong strategic insight
• The ability to challenge assumptions at board level
• Hands-on support with processes, reporting, and planning
What stood out in this placement was the FD’s ability to balance strategy and delivery — supporting the business owners directly while freeing them up to focus on growth.
