Where It All Began

Fady grew up working in his father’s restaurant, where he first discovered the power of numbers. By managing the finances, tracking inventory, and setting pricing models, he developed a passion for finance and problem-solving.

Building Financial Models at Boeing

Fady joined The Boeing Company in Seattle, working in Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) and strategy. There, he honed his expertise by creating complex billion dollar financial models for the world’s largest airplane programs on the commercial and defense side.

The Clockwork Blueprint

Fady took the next big step by founding his outsourced CFO consulting firm in Chicago. Started out of demand from his network needing financial clarity, Fady scaled his firm for nearly 5 years, serving over 100 clients, realizing that available FP&A tools were inadequate—expensive, difficult to use, and most dangerously, inaccurate. The frustration of living this pain sparked the idea for Clockwork.

Building the best FP&A product in the market

With a clear vision and determination, Fady began developing the roadmap for Clockwork’s features and functionality, dedicating four years to perfecting the product before bringing it to market.

Beta Launch and Boston Relocation

Clockwork raised $2M in pre-seed funding from Underscore VC in Boston, MA. The beta version was launched with QuickBooks Online and Xero integrations, marking the start of a new chapter for Clockwork.

Market Debut and Momentum

Clockwork fully launched into the market with custom modeling capabilities and raised a seed round of $3M led by G20 Ventures, alongside Alumni Ventures, Service Provider Capital, and Underscore VC.

Industry Leading Platform

As the fastest-growing FP&A platform, Clockwork launched consolidated forecasting, headcount planning with payroll integrations, and expanded its go-to-market team. What started as a childhood passion has now become a mission to empower millions of businesses around the world.

Our values

Integrity

We never let the pendulum swing away from what's right. When we say we'll do something, you can consider it done!

Authenticity

With Clockwork, you'll always get the real deal. No fluff, no pretense — just pure, unfiltered authenticity. Because isn’t that how all relationships should be?

Evolution

We're not just keeping pace; we're setting the tempo. Because for Clockwork, good enough today is ready for a revamp tomorrow!

Inspiration

Learn and absorb from everyone around you, and serve as an inspiration to everyone around you, customers and teammates.

Principled

Know what we stand for and what you stand for as a person and stay true to that. Don’t let external or internal pressures break what you feel is right.

Persistence

Don’t give up on getting things done. Everything is possible and it is your responsibility to find a way to get it done and get it done the right way.

As a CFO myself, I realized that existing tools were holding my clients back, not helping them grow. That’s when I knew I had to create something better.
