Finance and ops for companies outpacing their systems.
Upper Bay gives growth-stage teams CFO-level finance and operations without the full-time hire. We've operated inside growth-stage companies and invested in them. We build lean, scalable finance and operating systems for tech companies in hypergrowth.
Built for founders who've outgrown their seed-stage finance and ops stack but aren't ready for a full-time CFO.
Finance
The model that matches reality, clean numbers, and a fundraise story that holds up in diligence.
Operations
The systems and processes to scale with a lean team.
Speed
We use modern tooling to build efficient and scalable finance and operations stacks. Tight loops, high visibility.
Investor / Operator lens.
We spent years on the investing side of the table, analyzing business models and pitches. We know what a raise is evaluating, what a board wants to see, and where the numbers usually break. We've also built inside high-growth and AI companies, and use modern tooling to prioritize pace, scale, and clarity.
