Raising for the next villa, venue or venture? Bring a CFO into the room.
Money for Bali businesses tends to come from Jakarta funds, family offices, overseas investors who love the island and banks that want to see proper accounts. Each of them will look hard at an owner-run company. We search our collective for a fractional Chief Financial Officer who has raised before, vet them and embed them alongside you.
Why raises stall for Bali businesses
Investors are interested in the island. Deals slow down for practical, fixable reasons:
Records that are not to hand
An investor asks for three years of accounts by property or outlet, and they take weeks to pull together. Funds and family offices read that as a sign of how the business is run.
A model that ignores the seasons
Projections that assume every month looks like August, occupancy assumptions nobody can source, and a model that does not match the P&L.
The founder answers everything
Investors want a finance lead who owns the numbers. When the founder fields every question on yield, margin and cash, they notice.
Company housekeeping left late
Shareholder records, licences and ownership arrangements that should have been tidied a year ago and now hold up the deal.
A CFO who joins early enough sorts these out before an investor finds them, and our collective can add operations or technology depth if diligence goes further.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
- A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
- Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
- A founder carrying every financial question personally
- Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up
Not for
- A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
- A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
- A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
- A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping
How a fractional CFO supports a raise in Bali
The material investors and lenders scrutinise, prepared and presented by a finance leader who understands seasonal, owner-run businesses.
A model that tells the truth
Three to five years of projections with the high and low seasons built in, sourced assumptions and scenarios, and a data room ready before the first request.
Conversations with investors
Your CFO links the numbers to the story and works through meetings with you, whether the other side is a Jakarta fund, a family office or a buyer of villa units.
Company and tax in order
Company records, tax positions and licences reviewed with your tax consultant and notary, so the structure stands up to diligence.
A team if the deal needs it
Where diligence goes deeper, a COO or a CTO can join your CFO, all found in our collective and briefed as one team.

Your CFO turns to delivering what the deck promised and reporting to investors, with our governance around the engagement.
