Strategic financial advisory
Some organisations and executives require a sounding board and strategic direction. In such cases, I provide high-level financial advisory services. I help executives make better-informed decisions, improve performance and align finance with growth objectives. Acting as a sparring partner, I deliver second opinions on specific projects or complex issues. Depending on the situation, this may include support with forecasting, cash-flow management, scenario analysis, KPI dashboards or reporting to boards and investors. The objective is to provide clarity and structure when it is most needed.
Investor relations and fundraising
As an advisor, I connect organisations with investors and financial institutions and support the capital-raising process.
Examples of advisory assignments
Proposals and budgeting for a training organisation
I supported an education provider in preparing commercial proposals and developing a realistic budget. This aligns with my background in financial management and budgeting, ensuring accurate reporting, performance tracking and cost transparency.
Mentor at Startup Bootcamp
As a mentor, I supported founders in sharpening their objectives and expanding their networks. In addition to interim roles, I provide strategic insight and help entrepreneurs define their direction. Strong financial planning and stakeholder communication are essential for sound decision-making and trust.
Advisor and sparring partner for a start-up
I supported a start-up in securing financing and acted as a sparring partner to the founders throughout the process.
Client reference
When we started Eagle-Access BV, we needed a financial specialist to support us with the financial plan. Wim was keen to help us even though we were a start-up company with few financial resources. He stimulated us and not only looked at the financial side, but also brought in a lot of experience with regard to offshore access. He realized the financial plan and looked beyond this. His support was crucial in closing the deal with our investor and was important because of his continuous financial advice and as a sparring partner.
