Our mission is to better position founders to focus on their vision, drive growth, and achieve lasting success.
Why was FCFO formed?
To Help
We are here to help startup founders and their companies thrive. We recognize that many founders may not have a strong background in Finance, often unsure of what success looks like or what truly matters most. We’re here to bridge gaps. We understand how to address Finance challenges and what great execution looks like, especially when resources are limited.
To Build
At our core, we are builders. The excitement of creating something new fuels us. Repetition isn’t in our DNA. While Finance is our domain, we bring an entrepreneurial spirit to everything we do, approaching each challenge with creativity and innovation, just like the founders we support.
To Grow
Growth, both professional and personal, is a core value at FCFO. We believe in learning and evolving, whether through familiar paths or uncharted territories. We also grow through people, embracing the diverse strengths, unique talents, and leadership styles that make every team and individual special. Together, we foster a culture of continuous improvement and success.
Meet the Founder
Joel Hamann has a unique blend of startup spirit and corporate experience, allowing him to effectively guide startups and lead the Finance function beyond an early-stage environment.
“One reason I joined a startup is the deep fulfillment I get from building something. I love to grow teams and contribute to both creating and operationalizing strategy. My Fortune 500 experience as part of a very well-run Strategic Finance and FP&A group has had a huge impact on leading and operating a startup. Transferable Strategic Finance strengths and experiences, between large company and early-stage environments, uniquely positions me to guide the next generation of entrepreneurs.”
