Virtual CFO
Investor reporting
A recurring investor update for a UAE company is built from your actual numbers on a schedule you can rely on: revenue, burn, runway and growth pulled from your books each period, alongside whatever a GCC subsidiary's head office or a venture investor abroad specifically expects to see.

A consistent template, run on a schedule
Monthly or quarterly, an investor update built to a consistent template keeps the same core metrics in the same place every period: revenue, gross margin, burn rate, runway and growth, pulled from your books rather than reassembled from scratch each time. A board deck follows the same underlying numbers when a board meeting requires one.
Reconciled against the real record
A cap table summary in an investor update means little if it does not tie back to your actual legal cap table. We reconcile the figures used in reporting against your legal records, while cap table administration itself stays with your legal counsel or a platform your company uses for that purpose.
Built for the audience actually reading it
A GCC subsidiary of a US or UK parent often needs the same underlying numbers restated for a head office that reports on IFRS as adopted at group level, or on US GAAP, in a different base currency. We build the reporting once and present it both ways rather than running two separate processes that can quietly drift apart.
Who reviews it before it reaches you
Every deliverable under investor reporting is reviewed by a senior principal before it reaches you. You keep access to the underlying file at every stage, so nothing about the work happens somewhere you cannot see it. This pairs naturally with fundraising financial models ahead of a raise and fractional CFO time for the questions that come up between updates.
Questions
Frequently asked questions: Investor reporting
What metrics do investors usually expect from a UAE company?
Revenue, gross margin, burn rate, runway and growth are the common core; we tailor the set to your stage and what your specific investors track.
Can you also manage the cap table?
We reconcile cap table figures used in reporting against your legal cap table records. Cap table administration itself sits with your legal counsel or a dedicated platform.
How do you handle reporting for a subsidiary that answers to a foreign parent company?
We present the same underlying UAE numbers in the format, currency and standard the parent's finance team expects, alongside the local AED view your own management uses.
How often should investor updates go out?
Monthly is common for early-stage companies; quarterly is more typical once a board is formally in place. We build to whichever cadence you have committed to.
