Finance Partner for
Pre-Seed to Series B
Strategy & Planning
Senior finance leadership embedded in your startup, from day one. Flexible monthly retainers, scaled to your stage. No lock-ins.
We act as your finance partner in the leadership team. We translate strategy into a finance roadmap, force prioritization, and call out misalignment early - so you spend time building, not second-guessing decisions.
We design and run planning that actually gets used: operating models, hiring plans, and cash forecasts tied to real constraints. No academic models. If it doesn't inform a decision, it doesn't belong.
We turn raw data into decisions. ARR, churn, retention, LTV, burn - measured correctly, interpreted honestly, and linked to actions. Dashboards don't impress us, decisions do.
We help you decide where money creates leverage, and where it does not. We set guardrails, monitor spend, and flag issues before they become emergencies.
We prepare you to raise from a position of clarity. We shape the financial narrative, stress-test assumptions, and align expectations between founders and investors. Our goal is better terms, not just a closed round.
Finance Foundation & Oversight
We design the right financial setup for your stage - systems, workflows, controls, and ownership. We help you decide what to build, what to defer, and what not to over-engineer. Once in place, we periodically review and challenge whether the setup still fits your growth.
Bad data leads to bad decisions. We set up your financial data properly from the start. Consistent metrics, reliable sources, and a structure that scales without breaking.
We act as an independent control layer. We review outputs, challenge assumptions, and keep internal teams and external providers honest. This ensures financial information remains reliable without pulling us into day-to-day execution.
When something falls outside steady-state operations - like funding readiness, audits, grants, restructurings, group setup, or transfer pricing - we take temporary ownership to get it done right and bring the outcome back to a decision.

Four things we don't compromise
Honesty over comfort
We tell you what we think. We push back when we disagree. That's how good decisions get made.
Ownership over hand-holding
We drive your finance function. You don't manage us, we manage the work.
Adaptability over rigidity
Startups pivot. We're ready.
Outcomes over outputs
We don't count hours. We count impact. Data, processes, reports. They're only worth what they lead to.
Rene Botvin
Startup CFO
I sit alongside founders, and push when it matters.
Ten-plus years in finance. The first half in corporate finance and M&A, the last five-plus working directly with early-stage founders across Europe.
I started Relev8 because most startups do not need a full-time CFO - yet. They need a partner who has been through the rounds, the audits, the bad quarters, and the pivots. I work hands-on with a few founders at a time, and I'll tell you straight if we're a fit.
You build. You Sell.
Let us own your finance.
A 30-minute strategy call. No pitch deck, no pressure. I'll tell you honestly if we're a fit.
