PLIU CFO Services

Fractional CFO expertise for cross-border operations.

Your finance function should give you peace of mind and room to grow.

Three decades of financial expertise, from global startups to multinational corporates, now available to owners and boards that need a CFO across borders, without the full-time hire.

What We Do

C-suite financial expertise for companies operating across borders.

PLIU acts as your fractional CFO for international and cross-border operations, giving owners and boards clear numbers and a finance function they can rely on, built by a team that has been there and done that. We help our clients up the game of their finance leaders and teams.

Financial diagnostics

An automated diagnostic that gives a clear read of where the business stands, and the moves that matter most, in weeks rather than months.

Cross-border operations

Standing up and running the finance function for international operations, structured and in full compliance.

Special projects

M&A, capital raises and joint ventures, led directly or in coordination with your external advisors.

Finance team mentoring

Hands-on mentoring and coaching for your finance leaders and team, raising their game so the function keeps getting stronger.

Approach

Everything starts with a quick, deep diagnostic.

PLIU's proprietary diagnostic is automated: it turns a company's numbers, and the input of its key people, into a ranked list of the moves worth making first, in weeks rather than the months a traditional study takes. Behind every engagement is a firm and a network of senior specialists, brought in when a company needs them.

1
Diagnose

An automated diagnostic reads the numbers and the team's input to show the real financial picture, and where the business is losing or missing money, fast.

2
Prioritize

Findings become a ranked set of moves, sized by impact and effort, so the most valuable work comes first.

3
Execute

PLIU leads the execution, hands-on or alongside your team, bringing in specialists from its network when the work calls for it, with quality control throughout.

Selected Engagements

Companies across sectors and situations.
