Cafe Cofounder & Finance Partner

I’m in the early stages of building a neighbourhood café and I’m ready to bring on a true cofounder. My strength lies in concept development, menu design, and daily operations; what I need is someone who can own the Finance & Investments side of the business.

Your focus will be to structure and safeguard the financial health of the venture. Day-to-day that means handling all accounting and bookkeeping tasks, advising on cash-flow strategy, and shaping an investment roadmap we can confidently pitch to lenders or private backers. If you have additional experience in budgeting or securing outside funding, that’s a welcome plus, but the core expectation is that the café’s books are accurate, transparent, and investor-ready at all times.

Deliverables I’d like to see in the first months:
• A clear opening balance sheet and projected P&L for year one
• A bookkeeping system (Xero, QuickBooks, or similar) set up and running
• Quarterly financial reports we can present to potential investors

I’ll share the brand story, floor plan, and supplier quotes once we connect so you can ground the numbers in reality. Equity split, vesting schedule, and any capital contribution from your side are open for discussion; what matters most is that you’re committed to growing the café with me long-term.

If the idea of being the financial backbone of a new coffee house excites you, let’s talk.
