Fractional finance · Stockholm & international

Senior finance, on the fraction you actually need.

Knowledge Bridge Finance is a team of CFOs and accounting specialists who run the finance function for growth companies — companies that have outgrown their bookkeeping agency, but aren't ready to build finance in-house.

The gap we bridge

Between the agency and the in-house CFO.

A bookkeeping agency keeps the records — but no one owns the numbers. KBF is the span that carries you from compliant books to boardroom decisions: an embedded, senior finance function, switched on at the level you need.

What you get

A complete finance function — part-time.

A part-time finance function should give you everything a full department does — strategy, control, reporting, financing and transactions — scaled to what your business actually needs and pays for.

01
The whole chain, one team — from the CFO work in the boardroom down to reconciled books on workday two. No handoffs, no gaps.
02
A CFO and a senior controller — the strategic and the operational, without carrying two full-time salaries on the payroll.
03
Scaled to your stage — turned up for a raise, an audit or a deal, and back down after. You pay for the fraction you use.

Together

Why it adds up to weight.

The combination is the point. Strategic CFO work is only as good as the numbers it rests on; accurate accounting only becomes powerful when someone turns it into decisions. You get both, with no gap in between — senior decisions anchored in reconciled books, ready for international, multi-entity structures and for transactions when it counts.

How we engage

Simple to start.
Built to hand back.

Diagnose
We start with a short, honest read on where your finance function stands and what's actually slowing you down.
Plug in at the right level
A few days a month or near full-time — scaled to your stage, not a fixed headcount you have to commit to.
One point of contact
You talk to one person who owns the relationship, with a full team and decades of experience behind them.
Hand over cleanly
When it's time to build in-house, we document, transition and step back — no lock-in, no dependency.

Who you work with

Strategic weight meets operational precision.

Controller and senior accountant with 15+ years across the full path from current bookkeeping to close — monthly and year-end close, group reconciliations, cash-flow analysis, annual reports, VAT and tax, and liaison with auditors and banks. She comes from audit (Grant Thornton); it is this hands-on competence that makes the reports actually reconcile — and arrive on time. Genuinely international, with assignments based in Dubai, New York and London, plus recruitment and start-up know-how (including work with Antler). She has led ERP migrations and works fluently across a broad range of finance systems.
