Elliott Gaspar – UK’s Secret Weapon Against Silicon Valley

In this episode, James Kennedy sits down with Elliott Gaspar, UK-based Fractional CFO and founder of a fast-growing finance practice, to unpack how the UK’s unique tax-advantaged investment schemes (SEIS/EIS) can accelerate early-stage growth – and how easily founders can lose their eligibility without realizing it.

Drawing on a career that started in Oxford University finance, scaled through private-equity-backed energy infrastructure, and evolved into advising high-growth, asset-heavy startups, Elliott explains why CFOs must be storytellers, how to build investor-ready financial models, and why UK entrepreneurs still underestimate the power of compliance-driven incentives.

They also explore:
– Why the UK remains one of the world’s best places to raise capital
– How founders accidentally invalidate SEIS/EIS (and how to avoid it)
– When asset-heavy roll-ups can unlock better financing
– The role of the Fractional CFO community in raising standards

Carolina Aponte – Venezuelan Immigrant’s Rise to Top CFO Success

In this episode, James Kennedy sits down with Carolina Aponte – fractional CFO, founder, and co-host of the Breaking Even Better podcast – to trace her journey from teen tour guide in Venezuela to award-winning North Carolina business owner. Carolina shares how she arrived in the U.S. at 20 without a high school diploma, juggled three jobs to survive, and used night classes plus on-the-job learning to climb from receptionist to controller and ultimately firm owner.

They unpack what a great controller actually does, how finance leaders can influence (but not control!) CEOs, and why relationships, resilience, and “improv” are just as important as debits and credits. Carolina also talks about helping more than 10 clients break the $1M revenue barrier and how her team-based model delivers 90%+ client retention.
