Read Killian's backgroundMost growing businesses don't need another full-time executive. They need the right finance leadership at the right time.
The Finance Office matches the problem with the right level of finance leadership — rather than automatically selling you a CFO.
Every business moves along the same spectrum as it grows. The Finance Office starts where bookkeeping ends.
We add the most value at the Controller, VP Finance and CFO levels.
Build the foundation
Reliable numbers, on time, with the controls and routines a growing business can rely on.
Run the finance function
A finance function that forecasts, reports to a board, and gives the leadership team a forward view.
Navigate the big decisions
Senior judgement for the decisions that only happen a few times in a company's life.
AI is changing how finance teams operate. The Finance Office helps businesses identify where automation and AI can improve reporting, forecasting, workflows and decision-making — without chasing technology for technology's sake.

We assess your finance function, understand the challenges and agree what needs attention first.
We identify the right level of leadership — Controller, VP Finance or CFO — and agree the scope, time commitment and priorities.
Your finance leader takes ownership of delivery, working with your team and adjusting support as the business evolves.
Anonymized examples of how support is typically sized.
The time required depends on the complexity of the business, the scope of work and the capability of the existing finance team. Limited monthly engagements focus on oversight and review, with day-to-day accounting handled by the client's team.
Finance professionals who have led teams, managed cash flow and taken responsibility for financial performance inside a business.
Controller through CFO, rather than one level sold to every business.
Scale involvement up or down as the business changes, without a permanent hire.
Systems, automation and AI alongside traditional finance leadership.

A finance, investment and operating executive with 15 years of experience spanning M&A, corporate development, transaction advisory and senior financial leadership.
Killian began his career with PwC in Dublin, working across audit and assurance and transaction services, before joining CRH plc in a corporate development role.
After relocating to Canada, he spent four years with PwC Vancouver's Transaction Services practice, advising private equity, corporate and institutional clients on more than 60 transactions.
He subsequently moved into operating and principal-side roles, including serving as VP Finance and interim CEO of a growing operating business, before joining the Fulmer & Company family office as VP Investments. He carried CFO-level responsibilities throughout a transformative period, later becoming the sole Managing Director — leading corporate development, M&A, strategic finance and shared services across a diversified portfolio. In that role he worked across the full investment lifecycle: evaluating and executing acquisitions, financing, integration, strategic planning, and supporting portfolio company leadership teams.
His experience spans early-stage and growth companies through businesses with more than $100 million in revenue, and he has served as a board member and advisor to a number of growing companies and organizations.
