about

fraidea was established to provide senior-level support to organisations that require rigorous financial and risk thinking, structured execution, and credibility with external stakeholders.
The firm is led by Stelian Vezentan, CFA, a finance professional with nearly two decades of hands-on experience across CFO roles, Big Four advisory leadership, and audit environments. His background combines deep technical expertise with practical exposure to real-world constraints faced by management teams. This includes leading group finance functions, working closely with boards of directors and investors, and advising organisations on reporting quality, risk management, financing processes, and financial transformation initiatives.
Typical areas of support include:
• support for boards of directors and senior management on strategy, performance, and risk matters;
• preparation of documentation for financing processes, including lender and investor materials;
• development of financial models for budgeting, financing, valuation, or strategic analysis;
• IPO readiness and improvement of public reporting;
• design and implementation of risk management frameworks and hedging strategies;
• IFRS implementations and complex accounting matters, including financial instruments, share-based payments, and hedge accounting;
• audit readiness and management of audit relationships;
• development of management reporting aligned with decision-making needs;
• implementation and improvement of internal procedures and controls.
fraidea provides hands-on, principal-led advisory services, combining technical depth with practical execution, tailored to the specific context and maturity of each organisation. The firm operates on the principle that credibility with investors, lenders, and boards is built through substance, consistency, and execution — not presentation.
