A lovely morning at Financefair celebrating the women in our team ahead of International Women’s Day.

Over breakfast we shared stories, laughs and reflections on the journeys women experience while building their careers in finance.

Our Co-Founder and CEO, Helen Cahill, also shared part of her own journey in the industry and what it took to get here.

Moments like this remind us that building a strong company also means building a culture where people support each other and grow together.

Happy International Women’s Day to all the women who lead, build, challenge and inspire every day.

As businesses scale, waiting months to be paid can shape decisions in ways it shouldn’t.

For Otonomee, partnering with Financefair’s Selective Invoice Facility meant they could invest ahead of growth and build strong foundations for scale.

“It really allowed us to get ahead of our growth and to put the foundation in place in the business.” - Aidan O’Shea, Co-founder & CEO at Otonomee

Selective Invoice Facility enables funding from selected invoices only — giving leadership teams flexibility without full book lock-in.

🏗️ Another private housing scheme funded by Financefair Development Finance.

We’re delighted to be funding a development of new, high quality homes at Strangers Lane, Tramore, promoted by Landmarc Developments Limited.

An exclusive development of 4 Bed Semi Detached houses in a fantastic location overlooking Tramore Bay, Waterford.

This is our fifth development in the Southeast, with more exciting projects to follow in the coming weeks.

We were delighted to complete the first drawdown of our facility within 8 weeks of agreed terms.

It shows what can be done when two good teams work together with a common goal of getting funding flowing quickly and efficiently.

Residential development finance is always challenging, but outcomes like this show what can be achieved when the right teams align to support quicker delivery of much needed homes.

📍 Tramore, Co. Waterford

As businesses scale, the challenges change.

Expansion creates opportunity.
It also increases pressure on delivery, hiring and cash flow timing.

Funding at this stage needs to move beyond transactional.
It needs to align with growth.

How aligned is your funding today?

Great conversations today at Agile Executives’ Get Funding Ready and Scale Smart session.

We were delighted to take part, with our Co-Founder and CEO Helen Cahill joining the panel to discuss what it really takes for businesses to prepare for their next stage of growth.

Helen shared insights on the funding gap, what it means to be truly funding-ready, and the growth journey of Financefair as an Irish fintech built to support scaling companies in a very real way.

The discussion covered some of the most common challenges scaling businesses face:
• Access to the right funding
• Hiring and retaining the right people
• Strategy without ex*****on
• International expansion when risk is high

Alongside this, there was a strong focus on the psychology of scaling, leadership readiness, and how founders can plug capability gaps using fractional executives as they grow.

These are exactly the conversations founders and finance leaders need to be having as they prepare for scale.

A big thank you to Agile Executives for the invitation and for hosting such a thoughtful and practical session.
