New UAE division will offer outsourced and project-based CFO services
CFO Bridge, a leading outsourced and project-based CFO services company, has officially launched its entry into the United Arab Emirates. This strategic expansion significantly widens the company's reach throughout the Middle East and global markets, with a focused presence in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, the Northern Emirates, and other regional and international business centres.
The UAE expansion will be led in association with Tushar Shah, a seasoned finance and business professional with over two decades of experience. Shah doesn’t just come on board with CFO Bridge as the ground partner for the UAE, but also brings in his expertise in leading global markets. He has a strong global track record, having served clients on four continents and in over 15 cities.
His extensive knowledge of cross-border financial structures, combined with his expertise in administering finance operations and transformation, brings a highly potent element to CFO Bridge's Middle East operations.
Shah says “Role of CFO has evolved in modern days as a business partner vs reporting financial numbers and compliance officer. CFO bridge & team has been successfully performing business partnering role for SME and adding to the shareholders’ wealth alongside complying with legal requirements, reporting accurate financial position”
Established with the aim of providing strategic financial guidance without the fixed expense of a permanent CFO, CFO Bridge has helped more than 500 businesses in India and internationally. Its clients include start-ups, scale-ups, family businesses, and mid-market firms, as well as an expanding list of mid and large-sized companies in need of specialist, high-level financial expertise.
Now accessible to UAE-based businesses, the company's model provides flexible outsourced, fractional and project-oriented CFO solutions to meet varying growth phases and organisational complexities. In today's fast-changing business environment, this flexibility enables businesses to access world-class financial expertise that is both scalable and affordable.
The fundamental service offerings of CFO Bridge in the UAE will be:
● Overseeing Finance Operations
● Act as Financial Advisor to Owners / Board
● Strategic and Structural advisory to optimise shareholders’ wealth
● Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A)
● Working Capital Optimisation
● Strategic Tax Planning
● Fundraising and Investor Reporting
● End-to-End Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Execution
Every client engagement is based on CFO Bridge's own Panchsheel Framework, a robust model with five strategic pillars: Management Information Systems (MIS), Profit Drivers, Cash-flow Management, Training and Capability Building and Statutory Compliance. This framework has been at the core of enabling businesses to develop financial strength as well as improve operational control and achieve long-term strategic readiness.
A major differentiator is CFO Bridge's focus on automation, system-based reporting and data analytics. The firm replaces manual effort with advanced financial tools and reporting platforms. This provides clients with real-time insights, enables faster data-driven decisions, and fosters stronger alignment with boardroom and investor expectations.
A bonus offering to all this is its engagement, which is carefully designed around KPIs that measure impact along lines such as profitability enhancement, liquidity improvement and growth facilitation. This results-oriented approach ensures each assignment delivers a quantifiable outcome. These include preparing a funding round, supporting an acquisition, and developing internal control systems for compliance.
UAE clients will benefit not only from the firm's ten-plus years of experience but also from Shah's cross-border expertise, such as strategic advisory in various sectors such as technology, healthcare, manufacturing, distribution, logistics, and services.
His experience with various regulatory regimes and investor environments positions him to bridge the gaps between local operational requirements and international financial standards.
As the UAE emerges as the go-to hub for entrepreneurs, investors and multinational corporations, it's needless to emphasise the nation’s immediate requirements for more reliable, flexible and visionary financial leadership.
CFO Bridge's expansion into the region is set to address this need with a strong, established model suited to the distinct ambitions and challenges of UAE-based companies.
CFO Bridge invites business founders, owners, CEOs, and CFOs from the UAE to book a consultation and experience how its professional financial solutions can support their path towards sustained growth, enhanced governance, and increased stakeholder confidence.
