Описание: In this episode of The Aegance Offscript Podcast, we sit down with Zaid Aboobaker, Co-Founder & CEO of Compass Point Consulting, a UK- and GCC-focused fractional CFO and advisory firm that helps ambitious businesses gain financial clarity and scale with confidence.

Zaid shares his journey from 20+ years in corporate finance to building a fast-growing fractional advisory firm backed by Hamilton Bradshaw. We discuss the realities of founder-led growth, the shift from execution to brand leadership, and the operational discipline needed to build a business that doesn’t rely on a single person.

We also explore:
The rise of fractional CFO services in the UAE and GCC
Why referrals alone aren’t a scalable acquisition engine
Turning financial reporting into a forward-looking strategy
The role of AI agents in operational efficiency
How founders eliminate single points of failure

Whether you’re a founder, investor, or business leader, this conversation offers sharp insights into scaling a service business, building trust in high-touch markets, and future-proofing growth through clarity and discipline.
