The Beginning
In November 2022, OneCFO embarked on its official journey. Our goal was straightforward:
empower small businesses and startups with top-notch financial expertise and tech-enabled
services. What happened in our first year exceeded our expectations, showing that our simple
dream was turning into a promising reality.
At the core of OneCFO’s journey are our visionary founders, Jay Olos and Lim Cornejo,
seasoned finance and accounting professionals with vast exposure in the SME and startup
world.
They recognized a crucial need and laid the foundation for OneCFO’s fractional CFO services
- a dynamic approach tailored for small business owners and startup founders who dream big
but require superb financial services and technology way beyond the usual accounting and tax
services that traditional firms are providing.
What sets OneCFO apart is our dedication to delivering tech-powered solutions and
unsurpassed finance savviness and creativity tailored to every client. We understand the
unique challenges small business owners and startup founders face, and our services are
meticulously crafted to address these challenges efficiently and precisely.
Our mission goes beyond conventional financial services - it’s about democratizing access to
cutting-edge technology and financial expertise. We’re not just number crunchers but dream
enablers, transforming business ideas into sustainable and viable realities.
Since its inception, OneCFO has grown from two clients to serving close to 60 client
engagements in less than a year. Beyond streamlining bookkeeping and tax processes, we
provide invaluable CFO-level insights and strategies, ensuring our clients survive and
thrive in the competitive business landscape.
Many business owners have experienced the transformative impact of OneCFO, simplifying their
finances, maximizing profits and cash flows, and propelling their businesses with
cost-effective solutions.
Our rapid growth, though unexpected, reflects the tangible value we bring to real people
seeking accessible, affordable, and top-level financial management services.
Expanding Horizons
As a celebration of our success, we’ve established a vibrant hub in the heart of the city. This new office space serves as a center for honing our team’s expertise and as a venue to cater to more businesses because their success is undeniably intertwined with ours.
In an exciting expansion move, we inaugurated our first office in Southeast Asia on November
24, a space we proudly share with our esteemed affiliate, LabLog.
Lablog’s Founder and CEO, Hiroka Lee, was ecstatic to share space with OneCFO and expressed
her enthusiasm for collaborating with Jay and his team.
Hiroka expressed her hope during the office blessing when she and her Board first met Jay,
“How do we onboard Jay on our team? We want him to be by our side.” Her wish came true, and
her positive experience stands as proof of the value that OneCFO brings to its clients.
OneCFO App: Revolutionizing Financial Information
In a bid to continuously provide top-notch financial services, opening our doors to
more
businesses continues beyond having an office space.
“We’re developing an app - the Canva of financial information - to simplify and democratize
access to crucial financial insights,” said Jay.
Imagine having your virtual finance department in the cloud - that’s the OneCFO app in a
nutshell.
Unlike your typical accounting platform, the OneCFO app is a game-changer. This one-stop hub
integrates all your finance tools into a seamless platform. With a single tap, you can
effortlessly generate valuable reports and analyses tailored for SMEs and startups in
specific industries.
Breaking financial barriers
As Jay welcomed distinguished guests to our office, he unfolded the backstory of the OneCFO
app, which is very close to his heart. “This app emerged from our parents’ failed
entrepreneurial journey,” he said. They were microentrepreneurs with dreams of business
expansion but struggled to secure capital.
Securing capital entails providing
financial statements to show your business’s performance,
a challenge many small business owners face. They have to rely manually upon an accountant
to craft statements that may not truly reflect the business’s financial health.
Yet another challenge for small business owners emerges after securing funding - a lack of
financial discipline. The truth is, not all the capital finds its way into the business;
some ends up being used for personal needs. This dual purpose makes repaying the loan even
more daunting.
Out of these challenges, OneCFO conceived an app complimenting its tech-enabled services to
dismantle financial barriers confronted by small business owners and startup founders.
What does the OneCFO app offer?
Think of it as your Canva or Microsoft for financial professional services—no more digging through emails and files. Instantly generate comprehensive financial reports and eliminate unnecessary hassle due to manual dependencies.
Processing your tax returns, payroll, budgets, and finance reports is just a click away with

With the OneCFO app, you can generate detailed reports on demand, export them effortlessly,

whenever you need them.
But that’s not all - the app goes beyond mere numbers. Engage with your team and clients in

In essence, the OneCFO app streamlines financial processes and facilitates effective

faced by small business owners and startup founders.
