Scaling Your Finance Function: Seed to Series A

​Finance maturity isn’t about titles – it’s about outcomes.

In this session, Ruben Portz (COO, Novabook) will use a simple checklist and UK tax calendar to help you assess whether your finance function is fit for your current stage.

​With experience supporting over 900 startups, Ruben will break down how to successfully bridge the gap from Seed to Series A and ensure your finance function is positioned for growth and scale.

​He’ll cover:
• The non-negotiables for close, cash, payroll, and compliance
• Which processes and controls matter at each stage
• How to prioritise fixes without over-hiring or over-engineering

Designed for UK founders who want a calm, predictable finance setup as they scale.
