What the role requires

A storage CFO sits where development economics, project finance, revenue strategy and investor relations meet. In Great Britain, owners increasingly use revenue floors, tolling agreements and other structures to reduce merchant exposure, as Modo Energy's analysis of GB derisking structures describes. The CFO is usually the person who decides how those trade offs are made.

Matching the CFO to the next raise

Platform equity, development capital, construction debt and portfolio refinancing are different disciplines with different counterparties. We define the next two to three years of financing activity before defining the person, so the shortlist reflects what the business will actually need.

Permanent, interim or fractional

Early stage developers often benefit from a fractional CFO while preparing for a raise. Interim CFOs suit defined transactions. A permanent appointment becomes essential once the business is raising repeatedly. We will advise on the right structure before starting a search.

Common questions

Do candidates need battery storage experience?

It helps, but the pool is limited. Strong candidates from renewables, infrastructure or project finance can succeed if they have the commercial curiosity to master the revenue model quickly.

When should we appoint a CFO?

Ideally before a significant raise begins, so the CFO can shape the process rather than inherit it.
