Success story: fCFO who ran a Series A raise in 5 months
How a fractional CFO on the AndAssociates bench closed a Series A for a Lagos fintech.
“AndAssociates matched us to a fractional CFO who had been through two Series A raises in African fintech. Five months later, we had a term sheet.”
What the engagement looked like
Ten days a month for five months. Weeks 1–4 rebuilt the model. Weeks 5–12 fixed the data room. Weeks 13–20 ran the investor process. At close, the fCFO transitioned to an advisory equity engagement under FAST.
