Financial Advisory Services for Small Business Startups in UAE and UNITED STATES
We build your financial strategy, model your business, prepare your pitch deck, sit at the table for investor negotiations, and stay with you as the startup becomes a real, scaled business.
The Startup Journey, Stage by Stage
Each stage builds on the last. We can join at any point, but founders get the most value engaging us from strategy onward.
01
Financial Strategy
We define the financial architecture behind the business plan: revenue model, unit economics, capital requirements, and the funding path that matches your growth stage — pre-seed through Series A and beyond.
02
Financial Modeling
A dynamic financial model built to withstand investor and lender diligence — three-statement projections, scenario and sensitivity analysis, cap table mechanics, and the assumptions log every serious investor will ask for.
03
Pitch Deck Development
A narrative and numbers-driven deck that connects the story to the model, not a design exercise disconnected from your financials. Built for the specific type of investor you're approaching.
04
Investor Negotiation
We support term sheet review, valuation discussions, and cap table impact analysis, and can join calls directly as your financial advisor so you're negotiating from a position of preparation, not guesswork.
05
Transition to Real Business
Once capital is raised, the model has to become an operating discipline. We help set up budgets, cash flow controls, KPI tracking, and investor/board reporting so the business scales on the plan it raised money against.
Why Startups Work With Dixie
Fractional CFO Depth
24+ years in investments and financial management, CMA / CFM / CBV / CFC credentialed, applied directly to early-stage companies.
Model-First, Not Deck-First
The pitch deck is built on a model that holds up under diligence — not a set of slides with numbers bolted on afterward.
Worldwide, UAE-Rooted
Based in Abu Dhabi and Dubai with a US partner network, supporting founders across the GCC and internationally.
Continuity Through the Raise
We don't hand off after the deck is done. We stay through negotiation and into post-raise financial operations.
Investor-Ready Standards
Models and materials built to the standard institutional and angel investors expect to see before they engage further.
Fractional, Not Full-Time Cost
Senior financial leadership at a fraction of a full-time CFO hire — sized to a startup's stage and budget.
