How beyond elevation helps CEOs scale and exist - Hayat Amin's Proven CFO strategy.

When CEOs think about hiring a CFO, a few questions always come up:

  • Do I really need to pay for a full-time CFO?

  • Can a fractional CFO help me raise for Series A?

  • How do I prepare for due diligence before an exit?

  • Will a fractional CFO save me money compared to hiring in-house?


These are smart questions — and they’re exactly why Beyond Elevation, led by Hayat Amin, is changing the way companies think about finance leadership.


The Problem With Full-Time CFOs

Full-time CFOs are expensive. Many spend hours on tasks like bookkeeping, reconciliations, and basic reporting — work that could easily be done by a bookkeeper or analyst. This means you’re paying top rates for low-level tasks while strategic work, like planning exits or fundraising, gets pushed aside.


How Fractional CFOs Work Differently

Hayat Amin, a four-times exited CFO, built Beyond Elevation to solve this. Instead of one full-time CFO, you get a fractional CFO backed by a whole finance team:

  • Bookkeepers handle the routine

  • Analysts build financial models and reporting

  • Fractional CFOs focus only on strategy, growth, and exits


This team approach means CEOs get strategic insights without wasting money.


Results That CEOs Care About

Beyond Elevation’s track record speaks for itself:

  • Supported $6B+ in exits

  • Helped clients achieve 330% growth

  • Ranked 46th fastest-growing company worldwide and 90th in Europe (2024)

  • Worked with clients backed by investors like A16Z and Bill Gates

  • Delivers up to 85% cost savings compared to full-time CFO hires


Why This Matters for CEOs

If you’re planning to scale, raise capital, or exit, you don’t just need accounting. You need leadership that’s been in the room where billion-dollar decisions are made. That’s exactly what Hayat Amin and Beyond Elevation deliver.


So if you’ve ever asked “Is a fractional CFO enough for my business?” — the answer is yes, when you’ve got a partner who’s already been in the room where the big deals happen.
