About Christopher Grubb

I help Tech & SaaS CEO's focus their growth and navigate the future through trusted insights, information, and hands-on support.The deliverables can vary but the role is simple: “You need someone to ensure you are fully equipped with the information, insights and support you need, and at hand.” I can highlight growth areas and opportunities for your business, get a handle on when you will need a fresh injection of capital, and how to compensate your best performing colleagues without sinking the ship. The numbers will be understandable and the future even clearer for you, to improve decision making, strategy and help you sleep better at night. My expertise lies with Start-up and Scale-up - typically Seed or Series A or B funded - Tech, SaaS and Crypto businesses; plus a penchant for working with owner-managed Digital and Creative Agencies. I'm fortunate to possess a long list happy customers; a natural by-product of working hard, knowing my beans, and being easy to integrate and work with. Here’s my most recent review and I’d like to think symbolic of many of my current and former clients: “Chris is a pleasure to work with. He is exceptionally responsive and giving of his time and works diligently to understand our financial processes, and provide the reports we need to make crucial decisions within the business. I would highly recommend Chris." Experience of working with over 20 Tech, SaaS, Crypto or Creative businesses with high growth potential has taught me how to be trusted and accepted by your management team. I’d love to hear about your business too. I am always available for a free strategy call and will help there and then, if I can.Or you can learn more about me, here: https://informperform.co.uk/ -#financedirector #finance #virtualfd #virtualfinancedirector #parttimefd #fdondemand #fd #cfo #virtualcfo #financemanager #accountancy #accountant #kpis #kpi #metrics #cashflow #managementaccounts #managementaccountant #businessintelligence #value #reporting #startup #startups #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #accountdept #saas #tech #creative #digital #bhfyp

    Inform Perform Nov 2017 - Present
    I launched Inform Perform in 2019 to offer in-house support to small business owners and start-ups who require a deeper, hands-on level of assistance with their finances and business strategy.I can’t believe we’re already five years on and we’ve become a small team of professionals all rooting for our clients success.I’ve purposely created an informal and easy approach to become as likeable as we are trusted. Although I hope we succeed at both.And we’ve become as revered among the investors as the business owners themselves, as we free the management team of their time, while delivering an independent and accurate appraisal of the company’s performance on a monthly basis.I aim to simplify your numbers and your business, make it fun, and tailored to you.
