Rajeev Samtani is a seasoned Fractional CFO and Managing Partner at Xcel Accounting, with over three decades of experience helping founders turn growing businesses into financially strong, scalable enterprises.

A qualified FCA and FCMA, Rajeev works closely with business owners who have outgrown basic accounting but are not yet ready for a full-time CFO. His strength lies in stepping into the business, quickly diagnosing financial blind spots, and translating numbers into clear, practical decisions around cash flow, profitability, and growth.

Rajeev is known for his calm, structured approach and his ability to bring financial clarity in high-pressure environments. Whether it’s stabilising cash flow, preparing businesses for scale, or acting as a trusted financial sounding board for founders, he operates as a true partner rather than an external advisor.

At his core, Rajeev believes that strong financial leadership should simplify life for founders, not complicate it, and that a well-run finance function is one of the biggest drivers of sustainable business freedom.

If you’re a growing SME feeling stretched by cash flow, unclear numbers, or big decisions, Rajeev helps bring clarity, structure, and confidence so you can grow without chaos.
