FAQ
As your business grows and financial processes become more complex, professional support becomes increasingly valuable. I add value when it comes to new funding rounds, implementing controlling tools, or optimising liquidity management. The goal is to create financial transparency and stability so you stay in control and ready to act.
I work with founders and startups at various stages – from early idea development to Series A preparation. Collaboration is particularly beneficial when you're facing a specific challenge or need professional input for the next stage of growth.
My focus is on e-commerce, DTC, tech and software companies.
I also support traditional SMEs in the area of finance and financing.
I prefer to support startups long-term – from the initial idea to the growth phase. My goal is to build a partnership on equal terms, providing exactly the support needed at each stage of the company.
In the early phase (Pre-Seed/Seed), I assist with developing and validating the business model, preparing pitch decks, financial planning, and investor readiness.
As traction grows, the focus shifts to controlling, liquidity management, reporting structures, and preparing for larger financing rounds or external funding.
I love growing alongside the teams – as a strategic sparring partner, offering not just ad-hoc support but sustainable, forward-thinking guidance.
I specialize in startups and growth-oriented teams, but also work with established companies on financial topics such as controlling, reporting, and financing strategies.
Individual modules are flexible, bookable services for specific topics (e.g. pitch deck, financial planning). Advisory packages combine several modules – tailored to your current stage – and offer both a cost advantage and a clear roadmap.
In the “Rent an Expert” – Mentoring & Sparring format, we start by defining clear milestones. Afterwards, we meet regularly (monthly, biweekly, or weekly) to review progress, reflect on decisions, and plan next steps. In between sessions, I am also available via email or phone for questions and guidance.
Yes – as part of my financing advisory, I support the optimization of your documents, the selection of suitable investors, and – depending on the package – also the active approach and preparation for negotiations.
We'll talk for 30 minutes about your current situation, challenges, and goals. You'll receive an initial assessment, and together we'll determinethe most suitable form of collaboration for you.
Costs vary widely – from a few hundred euros for one-off consultations to several thousand for comprehensive support.
It's worth it if you:
Are planning complex financing rounds
Want to optimise your business model or liquidity
Need an experienced sparring partner to prevent costly mistakes
When in doubt, professional advice can often save a lot of money and avoid mistakes.
The costs ultimately depend on the scope, complexity, and duration of the project. For individual modules or consulting packages, you can find all prices transparently under the respective category on my website. For project-based or success-dependent financing support, I calculate costs individually – always fair and transparent. I will create a tailored offer that perfectly matches your needs, whether it’s a one-off consultation, project support, or long-term assistance.
As a general rule, I don't offer purely performance-based models, as sound advice requires time, experience, and commitment on both sides. My compensation model is deliberately designed to be startup-friendly – transparent, modular, and tailored to your stage of development. In individual cases, a pro rata performance-based fee is possible, e.g., as part of a financing arrangement – please feel free to contact me about this.
Yes, the BAFA (Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control) supports consulting services for small and medium-sized enterprises, including financial and business consulting, under certain conditions. This means that a portion of the consulting costs can be subsidized by BAFA, which will provide you with financial relief. I would be happy to support you with the application and clarify whether your project is eligible for funding.
Yes, I am. That means you can have part of my consulting fees reimbursed through the BAFA funding program. I'd be happy to help you get the application process underway with ease – just contact me.
