Why startups run out of cash, and what a fractional CFO builds to stop it.

Video summary: startups rarely run out of ideas, they run out of cash. A 13-week cash forecast shows your runway before it ends. We build runway and burn control, a finance stack with compliance, spend and unit economics, and raise-ready numbers. Book your free first call at omniscope360.com.

Is it time for a fractional CFO?

If one of these sounds familiar, your finance function has outgrown bookkeeping. That is where we come in.

Cash surprises you

You learn about a shortfall after it happens, not weeks before.

The books close late

Month-end reports arrive weeks after the month, too late to act on.

You cannot see margins

You cannot say which product, channel or customer actually makes money.

Funding is coming

A bank, investor or buyer will soon ask for numbers you cannot yet produce.

Your stack, set up and run to CFO standard

  • Xero
  • QuickBooks
  • Zoho
  • Stripe
  • Google Sheets
  • Airtable
  • Notion
  • Slack

We connect your accounting, payments and data tools so the numbers reconcile themselves and report the truth every month.

Built for startup needs

The questions founders actually face: how long is our runway, what does growth cost, and are our numbers ready for investors?

Runway & Burn Control

A 13-week cash forecast that shows runway, burn and the week you reach your safety buffer, so you decide before cash decides for you.

Spend & Unit Economics

CAC, payback, gross margin and return by channel and tool, so you scale what earns and cut what does not.

Raise-Ready Numbers

An investor model, a KPI pack and a clear use of funds, prepared before due diligence starts.

Finance Stack & Compliance

Xero or QuickBooks set up, Stripe reconciled, a monthly close in days, and VAT or BAS dates on the calendar.

Why founders choose Akram

One CFO who can challenge every spend and prove the return.

  • Audit-grade numbers

    ASA (CPA Australia) with a Big 4 audit background. Your numbers are checked before auditors and investors check them.

  • Marketing return, measured

    Impressions mean nothing until they become cost per lead, CAC and payback. I measure the return on every spend.

  • Speaks engineering

    I know if a vendor's API price is fair, work out build versus buy, and build it myself when that is cheaper.

  • Negotiates the deal

    Vendor, technology and commercial terms, negotiated with a finance and technical view of their real worth.

Based in Muscat and Sydney: reporting in OMR and AUD for startups on both sides of the corridor.

    FAQ

    What kinds of startups do you work with?
    Founder-led startups from pre-seed to Series A and beyond, across industries, in Oman, the GCC and Sydney, and Sudanese founders wherever they are.
    How do I get started?
    Book a free discovery call on this website or message us on WhatsApp. We look at your numbers and recommend what to fix first.
    What makes OmniScope360 different?
    We do one thing: Fractional CFO leadership. That focus means a proven cash, close and funding routine instead of a menu of loosely related services.
    Do you offer ongoing support or project-based work?
    Both. Retainer partnerships cover ongoing support, and fixed-fee projects cover specific needs.
    Can you work with startups outside Oman?
    Yes. We work with startups in the GCC, Sudan and Sydney, and with teams that operate across these markets.
    How are your fees structured?
    Fees are based on scope. We send a written proposal after the first consultation.
