Finance & Operations Partner
We bring order to finance and operations.
Evalume helps founder-led businesses clean up the back office, build reliable systems, and run on clear numbers and accountable processes — without adding a full internal team.
What we do
The back office, properly owned.
We take on the finance and operations work that founders and small teams shouldn't be carrying alone. Four areas, one integrated function.
Finance visibility
Monthly close, management accounts, cashflow, and reporting you can make decisions on. Numbers that are on time, reconciled, and explain themselves.
Process design
Document, tighten, and own the workflows currently held together by one person's memory — from order-to-cash to onboarding to vendor management.
Systems & tools
Set up and connect the tools that run the back office: accounting, billing, payroll, expenses, HR, and document management. Nothing should live in email.
Fractional ownership
Ongoing oversight of finance and operations as an outsourced function — so founders get their time back and teams have someone accountable.
Who it's for
You've outgrown the spreadsheet stage.
But you're not ready — and don't need — a full finance department. If any of these sound familiar, Evalume is built for you.
- The books are a month behind and close takes too long
- Numbers don't match across reports — and no one fully owns why
- Critical work — payroll, close, compliance — sits in one person's head
- Systems don't talk to each other and everything runs through email
- You need someone to take it on, not another consultant telling you what to do
"Most founder-led businesses don't need another advisor. They need someone with the experience to design the function, and the willingness to run it day-to-day."— Evalume
How we work
Three clear steps.
No discovery theatre. We move from a clear-eyed assessment to practical implementation and ongoing operation — fast.
Step 01
Assess
A focused review of your finance and operations end to end — close process, reporting, tools, documentation, risk, and where time is going. You get a written read-out with priorities, not a deck.
Step 02
Build
We design and implement what needs to be in place: reporting cadence, chart of accounts, core processes, system stack, and documentation. Practical and built for where you are today.
Step 03
Run
We operate it with you, or hand it back to your team once it's stable. Either way, the function keeps running after we step back — that's the point.
Why Evalume
Finance and operations working together.
Most businesses treat these as separate problems. We don't. The best work happens when both are owned by the same team.
We do the work
You get implementation, not slides. We take on the function — not just advise on it.
One integrated function
Finance visibility and operational discipline in a single engagement. No handoff problems, no gaps.
Built to last without us
We design for sustainability, not dependency. Your team should own it eventually. That's how we measure success.
Clear thinking, honest advice
We tell you what's urgent and what isn't. We'll say clearly if we're not the right fit. No pitch theatre.
