Founders build rocketships. We run their engine rooms.
Fractional CFO and full-stack finance for VC-backed startups. From Seed to Series C.
All things finance, taken off your plate.
Fractional CFO
A senior finance partner in the room when it matters. Board prep, fundraising ops, runway strategy, investor-ready projections.
Full-stack finance
Financials you can trust, burn monitoring, vendor payments, taxes, R&D credits, 409A, option grants. One trusted team running the whole function, not five tools that don't talk to each other.
Payroll and employment compliance
Payroll, PTO and leave policies, state registrations and notices. Important stuff, just not stuff you should be doing yourself.
Strategic HR
Compensation, recruiting strategy, merit increases. Just the things you need, and nothing you don't.
I can't quite describe how amazing it's been working with Hari. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me.
Anthony Staehelin · Founder & CEO, Benable
Proactive and fast. Hari found us tax credits, led shipping negotiations, improved our runway projections, and more.
Will Baumann · Founder, Fourthwall
Hari has unimpeachable character, and having a partner like that in a startup means the world to me. I will work with him in every company I create.
John Figuiredo · Founder, Plaito
Boutique by design.
- Embedded
- We work in your Slack, daily. Meetings when needed, in-person whenever possible.
- Retainer pricing
- One fixed monthly fee, sized to your needs. No hourly billing. A fraction of the cost of an in-house team.
- US only staffing
- No offshoring. US-based team with deep startup experience.
Do fewer things. We'll take care of the rest.
Hari Seshadri
I've held CFO and COO roles at high-growth startups. I've been the first finance hire and led global teams of 150+, with over $250M raised along the way. I've helped founders through 6x+ YoY growth and to profitability.
I've seen what focused founders can do, and I've seen what a thousand small demands on their time cost them. I started Fewer Things so founders can take those hours back. We work with few clients, on purpose. You work with experienced startup operators you can trust to own important things.
