Meet
Elliott
Elliott founded Momentum CFOs to give growing businesses real financial leadership.
After 15 years working in FP&A, commercial finance, and as a CFO across PE-backed businesses, billion-pound research institutes, and high-growth companies, he knew what good financial leadership actually looked like. And he kept seeing founders who weren't getting it.
Most people calling themselves a CFO were producing tidy reports. Elliott's view is that a CFO is a commercial hustler, not a bookkeeper with a grander title. Momentum CFOs exists because growing businesses deserve the real thing.

What
Elliott
is good at
Raising capital
Elliott has supported founders through raises totalling over £600m in equity and debt funding across multiple rounds. He knows what investors need to see, how to build the narrative, and how to manage the process from first conversation to close.
M&A and transactions
Over £180m in completed M&A transactions across a range of deal sizes and structures. Elliott has been on both sides of these deals and knows how to move at pace without missing what matters.
Building financial models that drive decisions
The models Elliott builds aren't just reporting tools. They are built to support decisions at the highest level, and have been used to underpin over £100m in strategic calls by leadership teams and boards.
Commercial problem solving
Elliott thrives in complexity. Whether it's a business that has outgrown its finance function, a founder preparing for a raise, or a leadership team navigating a transaction, he brings a commercial mindset and a bias toward action.

Why work with
Elliott
Elliott leads every new client relationship personally. Not because he handles everything himself, but because getting the right fit from the start is the most important thing Momentum CFOs does. He takes the time to understand your business, your stage, and what you actually need, then matches you to the right member of the team.
If you are a founder who needs a commercial partner rather than another accountant, this is what that looks like.
