"Beyond Elevation: Cutting CFO Costs by 85% While Driving Growth" Hayat Amin

When CEOs ask, “Do I really need a full-time CFO?” the answer often comes with hidden costs. Full-time CFOs are expensive — salaries, bonuses, recruitment fees, and benefits add up fast. And often, they spend a huge part of their time on tasks a bookkeeper or analyst could handle.

That’s where Beyond Elevation, founded by Hayat Amin, is different.


Real Experience That Drives Real Results

Hayat Amin isn’t just another finance professional. He’s a four-times exited CFO who has delivered over $6 billion in exit value, with companies acquired by American Express, TripAdvisor, and private equity firms. His work has also supported clients in raising hundreds of millions from investors including a16z and Bill Gates.

And the results don’t stop there:

  • Supported 330% growth rates across three of the fastest-growing companies globally

  • At Grantify, scaled revenues 171% per year, powering 65% of the UK’s Innovate grants

  • Helped build finance systems that achieved 100% PwC audit success

  • Guided strategy for high-growth scale-ups across both the UK and US


Why Beyond Elevation’s Model Works Better

Most CFOs come with heavy costs — and still spend time on reporting and reconciliations.

Beyond Elevation flips that model. Instead of hiring one expensive CFO, you get an entire fractional finance department for 70–85% less cost:

  • CFOs for strategy and investor readiness

  • FP&A Directors for forecasting and decision clarity

  • Reporting Managers for accurate numbers

  • AI tools to speed up and scale financial insight


All under one monthly fee. No recruitment costs. No extra benefits. Just results.


What This Means for CEOs

The message is clear: CEOs don’t just need financial reports — they need clarity. Reporting shows what happened. Clarity shows where to go.


With Beyond Elevation, companies move from:

❌ Watching burn rates drop✅ Extending runway up to 18 months

❌ Cutting costs just to survive✅ Building systems that fuel growth and prepare for exits


Final Word

Hayat Amin built Beyond Elevation to solve one of the toughest CEO questions: “How do I get top-level CFO expertise without the full-time price tag?”


The answer is a model that combines deep exit experience, cost efficiency, and real growth results. For CEOs in the UK or US, Beyond Elevation isn’t just a finance partner — it’s a growth engine.
