CFO-level experience to structure financial decisions, strengthen management and turn strategy into execution.
Growing companies need more than financial control and reporting. They need to anticipate cash requirements, plan investments, structure sources of capital and make decisions with a clear view of their financial impact.
Finder works with business owners, CEOs, CFOs and boards to shape and deliver the financial agenda, combining strategic perspective with hands-on experience in treasury, financial planning, fundraising and performance management.
We work alongside leadership and internal teams to turn financial information into decisions, decisions into action plans, and action plans into results.
Areas of work
An engagement can focus on a single area or cover a broader financial agenda, depending on what the company needs.
A
Planning that connects strategy, budget, projections and execution.
B
Managing liquidity, working capital and financing needs.
C
Preparing and running the financing agenda that supports growth.
D
Helping leadership analyze options, prepare decisions and follow them through.
E
Processes, information and responsibilities that keep pace with the business.
Where to start
The work starts with a diagnosis of the business and its finance function. That sets the agenda, the critical decisions and the scope of the engagement.
Talk to FinderHow Finder works
Understanding the business, the financial structure, leadership's priorities and the main challenges.
Agreeing the work agenda, the critical decisions and the initiatives with the greatest potential impact.
Building the models, analyses, processes, financial alternatives and action plans required.
Working with internal teams to implement initiatives, track indicators and support the necessary adjustments.
Scope is set according to each company's needs, from a single area to a broader financial mandate. We work alongside leadership and the finance team, not in place of them.
What sets us apart
Finder combines experience in executive finance roles, treasury, financial planning, fundraising and relationships with financial institutions.
The work spans strategy and execution. It does not stop at reports or recommendations: we support leadership in analyzing decisions and work with internal teams to put them into practice.
Experience across sectors, financial institutions and growing companies makes it possible to look at each challenge from three angles:
What the business needs and can sustain.
What banks, funds and investors examine before they approve.
What the team can implement, and on what timeline.
Engagements are led by Fernando Deprá, a former CFO with 18 years between the bank credit desk and the CFO's chair. FGV EAESP graduate, with executive programs at Harvard Business School, INSEAD and Stanford through Endeavor.
Who it is for
Every engagement starts with a conversation to confirm that advisory is the right format. Sometimes a fixed-scope financial product is the better answer.
In practice
Context
Company with fragmented banking relationships.
Challenge
A board asking for financial information at every meeting.
What Finder did
We led the approval of credit limits and the relationship with the banks, and structured how information is prepared for the board.
Outcome
Limits approved, and board reporting no longer rebuilt every cycle.
