A Finance Function For YouIn Real Time

Joe came into a complex situation and worked at warp speed to deliver for us, his skills are first rate and more importantly he goes beyond the numbers to understand the business and the people involved. He works harder and smarter than any other FD I have ever worked with, and will drop everything to help get the data and analysis you need. I would recommend him to anyone who can’t see the wood for the trees with the company finances and needs a model that pulls everything together.

As a fast growing start up, Joe has been so supportive to our ever evolving and dynamic requirements. Joe is ‘alway on’ and brings a pragmatic and real approach to supporting us. I’d highly recommend Joe and thank him for his support!

I engaged Control Room Finance to create a set of bespoke financial reports for our complex structure, required in 72 hours! He understood the brief perfectly, and set to work right away completing the work to perfection. Very refreshing to deal with someone who just 'gets it' from the offset and delivers exactly as requested. I will certainly be in touch with Joe again for future reporting needs and would highly recommend to others.

Excellent to work with. Straight to the point, turned things round very quickly. Restructured our entire accounting schema for an entity and fixed historical issues. Gave excellent after care. Highly recommend.

We have been working with Joe for the last 12 months or so and found his expertise and knowledge, particularly within SaaS to be of huge value. As a well connected fractional CFO Joe’s approach, availability - sometimes at short notice - and advice has really been an asset for us.

(Joe is one of those rare beasts - super intelligent, straight to the point, accurate and a wizard with IT/GSheets/Excel. But his rarity is drilling into using all the data along with understanding your market dynamics, products and personnel and delivering assessments which are rarely off the mark, if painful to hear (sometimes). Never afraid to offer or ask for advice too. Would use him again.

Joe gives me exactly what I need from a Finance lead - no-bullshit, straight to the point advice and a robust and unfiltered challenge to the assumptions that we make in the business. He's entirely unafraid to speak the truth and simply doesn't entertain reasoning that's anything less than well justified and evidenced. He delivers value, support and level headed good sense in spades. Totally recommend him and have done on many occasions. I only wish we could use him more extensively.

Joe has fantastic all round knowledge and experience of the start up / SME world and really helped out in some tight timeframes supporting fundraising through planning model updates and business development projects. I’d place Joe in the super excel user categories, very personable and happy to share his own experiences and recommendations. Would be great to work with you again in the future.

Joe has helped us tremendously already and we’re only just getting started. He is able to comprehend complex information in a very short period of time to provide discussion points and scenario planning. He cuts through the noise and can give clear direction to help you reach your goals and objectives.

It takes a genius to fully understand the complicated commercial nuances at Telet and Joe managed this within days into his role as our fractional CFO. Nothing is too difficult for him plus he is refreshingly honest (if you want him to be) in his feedback and advice. We had a fully functional financial model, in Google Sheets, reflecting information pulled from working with other team members, Xero and old spreadsheets within two weeks of starting his very part time role with us. Thanks Joe - can't wait to continue this working relationship further, you're a super star.

Joe is a fantastic finance professional - he joined us as a contractor while we were going through our first fundraise. Joe took all the hassle and stress out of the process and was attentive, supportive and professional throughout. An asset to any team, short or long term.
