Virtual C-Suite

By the time a founder-led business reaches £5–20m, it needs senior leadership it can’t yet justify hiring full-time. The Virtual C-Suite deploys a team, a CFO, a COO, a CMO and the specialists around them, who own a defined project: investor-ready numbers, a sales engine that runs without you, a business built to sell. You’re not buying a deck, you’re buying the result.

It’s led by the Knightscale founders, Alexis Sikorsky, Topher Morrison, and Natalia Amer, who between them have built, scaled, and exited companies, grown brands and audiences, and built the teams that make growth stick. Alexis scaled a software business to 500 employees and negotiated a nine-figure private-equity exit. That’s the experience behind every engagement, a proven path to a premium exit, not theory.

Scoped to your goals, owned end to end.

Every engagement is scoped as a project with defined goals, milestones, and a team accountable for hitting them, not a block of advisory hours. We diagnose what’s actually capping your valuation, agree the targets, and own the plan from first diagnosis to delivered result.

What You'll Gain with Virtual C-Suite

A C-suite that owns the result

A CFO, COO, CMO and the specialists around them who take the work on as theirs, not advisers you have to manage.

Numbers a buyer will trust

Investor-ready financials and the metrics that move valuation, built and run for you, not just reviewed.

A business that runs without you

The systems and leadership layer that let it grow when you step back, the single biggest driver of a premium price.

The buyer’s view of your company

We’ve sat on the other side of a nine-figure PE deal. We position and prepare the business the way acquirers actually value it.

A higher multiple, on your terms

Hidden value found and built before a buyer does, so you exit at the top of the range instead of leaving money on the table.

If you’ve outgrown running it all yourself, let’s talk.
