ABOUT AYLIN SCHAER

I turn numbers into clarity, help teams collaborate better and individuals find their authentic selves. As a solopreneur and interim/fractional CFO/COO, I support companies where it truly matters. Scalable finance and operations structures. Decisions that have impact. Cross-functional collaboration that actually works.After years in startups and scale-ups, one pattern is obvious. Finance becomes powerful when Product, Marketing, Sales and Leadership collaborate instead of operating in silos. And of course building and empowering a Finance team to be that partner. That’s my passion: building bridges. Improving communication. Making Finance a strategic driver.Alongside my CFO roles, I co-build communities such as the Female Finance Circle. Because women in finance need visibility, networks and strong support systems. And because community accelerates growth.Another key area: coaching. I support finance professionals in taking their next career steps with confidence and authenticity. No generic leadership advice. Real personal development that shifts how you show up and how you are perceived.With Finance Foundry, me and my partner Jana Scharfschwerdt create finance bootcamps & courses for founders, CEOs and finance professionals, as well as internal corporate trainings that empower teams. Practical. Hands-on. Designed for real-world application.My focus: financial clarity. Collaboration. Female empowerment. Personal development for the next generation of finance leaders. Reach out if. You want Finance to become a true strategic partner. Your departments struggle to collaborate. You need scalable, practical finance processes. You’re a finance professional ready for your next career step – with clarity and authenticity.Always happy to connect! Especially with finance professionals, founders and anyone passionate about better collaboration.
