About Us

Finance leadership for the founder's side of the table

Tessaro was founded in 2019 by three former CFOs who kept meeting the same problem: brilliant businesses steering by a rear-view mirror. We fix the instruments, then help you drive.

About Tessaro

We are former CFOs, investment bankers and audit partners who now sit on the founder's side of the table. We build the plan, run the numbers every month and stay in the room when the hard decisions are made.

Strategic planning

Planning that supports smarter decisions, sustainable growth and long-term stability.

Cash flow advisory

Gain better visibility into cash and strengthen the financial stability of daily operations.

Performance reporting

Clear reporting that helps leadership measure progress and act with confidence.

Our Story

Between us we have closed books for listed companies, raised capital for founders and sat across the table from bankers who said no. Tessaro exists so that a ₹40 crore business can have the same quality of finance thinking as a ₹4,000 crore one, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO.

Today we are a team of 34 across Mumbai and Bengaluru, working with 60+ active clients in consumer, manufacturing, healthcare, SaaS and services. We take on a limited number of new mandates each quarter so every client gets a partner who knows their numbers by heart.

Our Values

They decide who we hire, which mandates we take, and what we say when the numbers are uncomfortable.

Precision

Numbers that reconcile, assumptions that are written down, and advice that can be traced back to evidence.

Candour

We tell you what the numbers say, including when it is not what anyone in the room wants to hear.

Ownership

We measure ourselves by the decisions you make, not by the reports we deliver.

Continuity

We build processes and teams that keep working after we step back.

Our Impact

We believe great finance is quiet. It shows up as decisions made on time, a bank that says yes, a board that trusts the numbers, and founders who sleep through the night before payroll.

Client Satisfaction

Built on trust, responsiveness and lasting partnerships.

Efficiency Gain

Helping teams improve reporting and decision-making workflows.

Retention Rate

Long-term client relationships shaped by consistent results.

Businesses Advised

Supporting businesses with tailored financial guidance.

Our Advisors

Every engagement is led by a partner and staffed by a dedicated analyst pod. No hand-offs to juniors you have never met.
