Fernanda Caniço Gomes

I am a global finance executive with over 20 years of experience supporting leadership teams in scaling businesses, improving financial performance, and navigating complex international environments.

My career spans multinational corporations, high-growth SaaS companies, and expansion-driven organizations, where I have consistently partnered with executive teams and boards to translate strategy into clear financial insights and actionable decisions.

I bring strong expertise in financial planning, performance management, governance, and international tax strategy, combined with hands-on experience in IPO preparation, fundraising, and multi-country expansion.

Having led finance organizations of up to 16 people and worked closely with executive and board-level stakeholders, I provide an independent, data-driven perspective that challenges assumptions and enhances decision-making quality.

What makes me a strong advisor and board member is my ability to connect financial insight with business strategy, while maintaining a pragmatic and collaborative approach. I am particularly effective in helping management teams improve visibility, implement scalable processes, and identify both risks and growth opportunities in fast-evolving environments.

I am best suited to support companies that are in scaling or transformation phases, including:
* High-growth startups and scale-ups (especially SaaS or tech-enabled businesses)
* Companies expanding internationally or operating across multiple jurisdictions
* Organizations preparing for funding rounds, IPOs, or major strategic transitions
* Businesses seeking to strengthen financial governance, reporting, and performance management

My focus as an advisor is to act as a strategic partner to leadership teams, bringing clarity, discipline, and forward-looking insight to support sustainable growth and long-term value creation.
