For the agency you’re building
We help agency founders understand where their business stands, what their finances can support, and what needs attention next.
Financial Clarity & Strategic CFO support
The founder’s challenge
You might already have an accountant, monthly reports and a growing client list. Yet some questions are still difficult to answer.
Can we afford another hire?
Why is revenue growing, but cash still tight?
More clients, or better delivery first?
You need to know which numbers matter right now, what they mean, and what your options are. That’s where we work with you.
How we help
Two levels of support, depending on what your agency needs. A clearer financial picture, or a closer working relationship around the decisions ahead.
Understand where your agency stands and what your plans would require.
We bring together a clear picture of your profitability, cash and financial commitments, then help you understand what that means for the business.
Support with deciding what to do next.
We work more closely with you on hiring, pricing, spending, growth and changes in direction. Together, we identify what is holding the business back and make the trade-offs clear.
Includes Financial Clarity as the foundation.
The way we see business
Hiring someone, launching a service or entering a new market means committing time, money and attention without knowing exactly how it will turn out.
Our role is to help you make those bets with a better understanding of the business, and stronger finances to support them.
Can the business support the opportunity? What happens if it takes longer than expected? Stronger finances give you room to try, learn and recover.
A hire might relieve delivery pressure but leave less cash available. More clients might stretch an already busy team. We help you see both sides before committing.
We look for the issue most limiting progress at this stage. That could be sales, delivery, capacity or finances. We help identify it and work with the people best placed to address it.
Your goals set the direction.Not somebody else’s idea of what your agency should become.
About River Edge
We work with agencies where people’s skills, time and effort are central to delivering results for clients.
That means understanding how decisions about the team, client work and growth affect both profitability and the cash available to keep the business running.
Our work draws on three years of hands-on experience supporting business owners with their finances. The starting point is always understanding what the founder wants to achieve and the realities of their business.

From ongoing finance support to individual business conversations. Here’s how people describe working with Suhaim.
“He stays neutral, asks the right questions, and helps us arrive at the best decision.”

Didn’t know my company actually needed a CFO until I realized the things we were missing out on were expensive. Suhaim has helped us a lot with structuring our finances, taking a lot of the headache off our shoulders, and assisting us in making better decisions through a financial lens.
Simply more than everything, Suhaim has been someone we can rely on while making important decisions. He stays neutral, asks the right questions, and helps us arrive at the best decision.
He often points out loopholes or blind spots that we might not have thought of otherwise.
“You need the right conversation to help you ask better questions, see things differently, and gain clarity on your next steps.”

Thank you for the open and insightful conversation. I came to you looking for clarity on how to scale and where to take things next, and I really appreciated the opportunity to discuss my thoughts openly and explore different perspectives.
He gave me the space to share my thoughts, discuss my challenges, and explore different perspectives on where I should focus next.
Sometimes, you don’t need all the answers handed to you. You need the right conversation to help you ask better questions, see things differently, and gain clarity on your next steps. That’s what made this consultation valuable for me.
I’d recommend him to entrepreneurs and business owners who sometimes need a person to validate and remove the chaos on their growth journey.
“We walked away with much more clarity and a clear direction to execute on.”

Had a great consulting session with Suhaim Faisal at Sandbox Workspaces.
As an early-stage team building Folgo, we walked in with a lot of confusion around positioning, focus, and our next steps.
What stood out was how clearly he was able to break things down and help us see what actually matters right now. He didn’t just give advice — he made sure we understood the reasoning behind it.
We walked away with much more clarity and a clear direction to execute on.
Really grateful for the session and would highly recommend connecting with him if you’re building something at an early stage.
