What This Service Covers

  • Controllership and financial operations governance
  • Month-end close supervision
  • Management & board reporting
  • KPI dashboards & performance insights
  • Policies, controls & audit support

What Are CFO & Controllership Services?

Traditional finance teams often lack one or both of the following:

  • Strategic leadership (CFO) — to drive planning, analysis, investor reporting & capital decisions.
  • Operational excellence (Controller) — to ensure accurate books, reconciliations, and financial processes.

ValDatum fills both roles — giving your organization a complete leadership layer across accounting, reporting, forecasting, and compliance. Whether you’re a startup preparing for fundraising or a mid-market company needing governance and controls, our model ensures your finance foundation is strong, scalable, and investor-ready.
