    Heading to Fintech Meetup in Las Vegas next week! Looking forward to seeing a number of founders and partners we’ve worked with over the years, and meeting others in the ecosystem. We spend a lot of time working with founder-led businesses navigating growth — especially around capital, financial strategy, and the decisions that matter most when things start to scale. If you’ll be there and are thinking through a raise, a transition, or just trying to make better sense of the numbers behind your business, always happy to connect. #FintechMeetup2026

  • We’re hiring Engagement Managers at 82i. At 82i, Engagement Managers are trained to use strong financial judgment and take real responsibility. You won’t just report the numbers. You’ll work directly with founders to make decisions that move the business. That includes owning forecasting and cash planning, pressure-testing growth and hiring plans, supporting pricing and fundraising decisions, and helping CEOs understand the tradeoffs behind their choices. This isn’t traditional consulting or a back-office finance role. You’re embedded inside founder-led companies as a hands-on partner, helping leadership decide what to do next and making sure the plan actually works. If you have strong finance fundamentals and want to be closer to real operating decisions, we’d love to hear from you.

  • We were glad to have mental performance coach Mark Glicini spend time with our team last week. Thanks for the insights, Mark! Learn more at www.markglicini.com. #Leadership #FounderMindset #MentalPerformance

    Last Friday, we had the chance to hear from mental performance coach Mark Glicini, brother-in-law of eighty2i partner Benjamin Welek Mark works with elite athletes and leaders on mindset and performance — and brings a unique perspective as a professional lacrosse player and current captain of the Carolina Chaos in the Premier Lacrosse League Mark shared many memorable insights, but one line stuck with me: “One person who believes in you can change your life.” It’s a simple idea, but an important reminder for anyone leading a team As managers and leaders, one of the most powerful things we can do is make it clear that we believe in our people — sometimes that belief is the catalyst that unlocks someone’s breakthrough Appreciate you spending time with the 82i team, Mark Learn more about Mark’s work at www.markglicini.com #Leadership #FounderMindset #MentalPerformance

  • Each year, bringing our teammates together from the U.S., Europe, and the Philippines reminds us what matters. Strong client work starts with internal trust. Across time zones. Across pressure. Across cultures. Proud of our team and the standard we’re building! #BuiltOnTrust #FractionalCFO #GlobalTeam

    We just wrapped our third annual eighty2i offsite in the Philippines. The theme this year was simple: Built on Trust. Sunsets. Snorkeling. A white party on a yacht. But those were just the backdrop. What we’re really building at 82i is trust: • Trust with our clients • Trust across a global team • Trust in each other under pressure • Trust in ourselves to execute at a high level Our Filipino team hosted the week with extraordinary generosity and leadership. Bringing together teammates from the U.S., the Philippines, and Europe reinforces something we believe deeply: Great firms aren’t built on Zoom calls alone. They’re built on authentic relationships — the kind formed when you do hard things together with high standards and good intentions. Everything we do rests on that foundation. Grateful for this team. Proud of how we show up for one another. Excited about what we’re building next. If you’re interested in working with us — as a client or as a teammate — this is the culture we’re building. #BuiltOnTrust #FractionalCFO #GlobalTeam

  • We're proud to officially introduce Controller+ 🚀 Founders don’t wake up wondering whether they need a bookkeeper, controller, or CFO. What they really want is financial clarity they can trust.

    🚀 Big news from 82i! 🚀 Many of you know us for our CFO services, but we’ve been listening and we’re excited to formally announce the launch of Controller+, our newest service offering. Most founders don’t need to figure out whether they should hire a bookkeeper, a controller, or a head of finance. What they really need is financial clarity. That’s why we built Controller+. It gives you: ✅ Fast, accurate closes you can count on ✅ Numbers you can trust for investors, boards, and banks ✅ Strategic reporting and structure that set you up to scale ✅ The ability to flex into CFO-level insights whenever you need them Controller+ is the finance foundation every growing company needs: clarity today with the confidence to make smarter decisions tomorrow. If you or someone in your network is scaling a business and running into challenges with reporting, cash flow visibility, or month-end close, drop a comment below or send me a direct message. I’d love to learn more about your business and see if we can help. Here’s to making entrepreneurship easier!

  • Founders: ever feel like you’re the only one questioning whether it’s all going to work out? In this edition of our Founder Series, we sit down with Alexander Zorychta—a biomedical engineer turned VC—who shares the overlooked realities of startup life, why good ideas aren't enough, and how mindset, speed, and community make all the difference. Alex shares the side of entrepreneurship that rarely makes it into headlines, and trust us, it’s worth the read. This one’s for anyone who's ever asked themselves: "Am I the only one struggling with this?" Read the full conversation between Alex and our founder, Jason Shapiro. 👇🏼Link in comments. 🎙: Founders, what’s one “hard truth” journey you wish you could share with younger you? #entrepreneurship #startupmindset #founderfriday
