Nikolajs Petrovics
Nikolajs is the Founder & CEO of John Galt Finance – a fractional CFO firm built for scaling founders in e-commerce, SaaS, services and manufacturing. Over the last decade he has led finance and strategy across payments, DTC and SaaS – from Corporate Strategy at Ecommpay to Head of Finance Strategy at Printify – and built the finance function at brands like Wellners, Bonati and Sweeco.
He founded John Galt Finance to give founders the same clarity a real CFO brings to a boardroom – cash, profit, unit economics and a plan for the next 12 months – without the full-time hire. Today the firm serves 100+ clients across the EU, UK, US, MENA and APAC.
