Savings on a major system project
At an industrial gases company, I helped save £2.5M (approx. S$4.3M) on a £15.5M (approx. S$26M) system project in the early 2000s, without disrupting day-to-day work.
Practical finance support · Singapore
Practical finance support for growing businesses.
Senior finance help, without the full-time CFO cost.
Your bookkeeper tells you what happened. I help you decide what to do next. I work with owners on cash flow, pricing and quotes, cost control, budgets and forecasts, and plans to grow into Southeast Asia. I spent 25 years inside large organisations, and now I bring that discipline to growing businesses without the big-company cost.
N° 02 About me
Yeo Sen Poh, FCPA
Part-time CFO · Commercial finance advisor · Fellow CPA Australia
I’m a Singapore-based Fellow CPA Australia with more than 25 years of commercial finance experience across Asia Pacific. I’ve held senior regional finance roles in healthcare, marketing services, industrial and telecoms companies. Along the way I’ve built finance teams, run budgets and forecasts, and helped businesses through acquisitions and new systems.
Now I work with growing businesses that need senior finance support but aren’t ready for a full-time CFO. You get an experienced person in your corner, on a part-time basis, who helps you understand your numbers and act on them.

N° 04 How I can help
How I can help.
Six ways I help owners protect their profit, keep cash healthy and plan ahead with confidence.
01
Cash flow and working capital
Know what’s coming in and going out, so you can pay suppliers and staff on time. Monthly reviews catch cash leaks early.
02
Pricing jobs and quotations
Costing and quote models that cover your real costs, including tax and FX. You stop winning work that loses money.
03
Cost control and internal controls
I review overheads, manpower and supplier spend to cut waste. Then I set up practical controls that grow with your team.
04
Budgets and forecasts
Use budgets, forecasts and pricing models to plan ahead. You make decisions based on numbers, not guesswork.
05
Growing into Southeast Asia
Budgets, cash-flow forecasts and controls for new markets. For local tax and legal matters, I work alongside your own advisors.
06
Helping your team understand the numbers
Training for sales, procurement and operations staff, so they see how their daily decisions affect profit.
How I work
- 01A short review of your numbers
I look at your accounts, cash and pricing to see where you stand.
- 02We agree what matters most
We pick the two or three things that will make the biggest difference.
- 03A part-time monthly arrangement
I work with you each month, for as long as it’s useful.
