I help employers become the go-to choice for diverse talent.

After working in 4 different industries. 
I noticed employers faced these challenges:

1) Spending a lot of money on recruitment-related costs 
2) Unable to engage effectively with diverse candidates 
3) Limited awareness of their employer brand online  
4) Struggling to attract & retain quality candidates

So, I quit my job to solve these challenges. 
↳ Dramatic, I know!

Here’s the process I developed: 

- Understanding the Employee Value Proposition (EVP)
- Promoting the EVP via influencers/content creators 
- Hosting recruitment events at key hiring locations
- Capturing Employee Generated Content (EGC)
- Distributing the EGC on social media 

The results so far: 

- 104 candidates hired to date
- 95.6% staff retention rate on hires 
- 98.5% of candidates hired are diverse
- Over 16 million candidates reached online 
- £131,000 saved on recruitment related cost 

Trusted by LinkedIn, HSBC, Samsung, Octopus Energy, 10,000 Black Interns, St James Financial Adviser Academy, and other notable organisations, my agency works with employers across any industry. 

Here’s what one of my clients had to say: 

"The quality of candidates we received through Beyond Education was exceptional, outstripping what we'd previously been able to achieve with external providers. We are beyond impressed!" - (Rebecca A Brown, Head of Legal, IQ-EQ)

I founded ScaleUpCFO, a leading consulting firm dedicated to providing fractional CFO services to startups and high-growth companies. Our mission is simple: to support entrepreneurs from the moment they incorporate their business to the day they achieve a successful exit. We work closely with VC funds and their portfolio companies, offering tailored financial expertise that fuels growth and ensures sustainable success.

My inspiration to start ScaleUpCFO comes from a deeply personal place. Growing up, I watched my mother run a shoe store in Dalston, London. Despite her hard work and the store's impressive sales, profits were always tight. This experience taught me early on that revenue alone isn't enough—profitability and financial management are essential for long-term success and stability. My mother’s story shaped my understanding of business, and it drives my passion to help founders avoid the financial pitfalls that can undermine even the most promising ventures.

With 20 years of experience in financial management, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial it is for startups to have access to high-quality CFO services. ScaleUpCFO was built on the belief that no founder should have to compromise on financial expertise due to their company’s size or stage. Our team of seasoned professionals brings a wealth of experience in helping companies navigate the complex landscape of funding, growth, and exit strategies.

At ScaleUpCFO, we don’t just offer services—we build partnerships. We’re deeply invested in the success of the companies we work with, acting as an extension of their team. From securing venture capital to managing financial operations, we provide the strategic guidance and hands-on support that founders need to scale their businesses effectively.

Beyond my work with ScaleUpCFO, I’m committed to sharing knowledge and empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs. Whether through mentorship, speaking engagements, or simply offering advice during office hours, I strive to make finance accessible and understandable for all.

I believe that by helping founders master their finances, we can change their businesses—and their lives—for the better. If you're looking for guidance on navigating the financial challenges of scaling your startup, I'm here to help.
