FACFO Founder Jachim Gobien Expands Fractional CFO Firm With Platform Acquisition and New Foreign Entrepreneur Resources

SINGAPORE, July 6, 2026 — Jachim Gobien, Founder and CEO of FACFO Pte. Ltd., is accelerating the firm's growth through a combination of strategic acquisition and new client-facing resources, positioning the Singapore-based fractional CFO firm as a broader platform for SMEs navigating financial complexity across borders.

FACFO provides fractional CFO, management accounting, FP&A, and corporate tax services to startups, growing SMEs, and portfolio companies of VC and private equity firms. The firm was founded by Gobien — a Certified Management Accountant (CMA) with a background in corporate banking, including roles at BNP Paribas — to address what he identified as a persistent gap between routine compliance work and genuine strategic financial leadership. Before operating under the FACFO name, the firm traded as Galablynx; the rebrand was undertaken to reflect the firm's core mission of delivering Financial Advisory and CFO solutions. Gobien holds dual Master's degrees from the University of Antwerp and the Catholic University of Leuven, and completed further study at Tsinghua University.

In 2025, Gobien extended FACFO's reach by acquiring Going Fractional and The Fractional Executive Launchpad, two established resources in the fractional executive community. The acquisition brought a practical knowledge base and active community of executives directly into the FACFO ecosystem. Gobien invested in the platforms because they align directly with FACFO's daily work: helping SMEs access senior financial leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. The frameworks built by Going Fractional's original founder remain intact under FACFO's ownership.

"Most early-stage founders are making financial decisions that will define their company's trajectory for years, but they are doing so without the right financial architecture in place," said Jachim Gobien, Founder and CEO of FACFO. "Our work is to close that gap — not just on compliance deadlines, but on the structural and strategic decisions that determine whether a business can raise capital, enter new markets, or withstand a cash flow shock."

In June 2026, FACFO published a detailed incorporation guide for foreign entrepreneurs setting up companies in Singapore, addressing decisions that Gobien notes are routinely glossed over at the point of registration. The guide covers director structure, tax residency, nominee arrangements under the Corporate Service Providers Act 2024, and Singapore's network of more than 100 active tax treaties — access to which is contingent on tax residency status. The publication reflects FACFO's increasingly public role as an educator for the cross-border founder community, alongside its direct client services. FACFO's service delivery encompasses bookkeeping and compliance, corporate secretarial and nominee director services, integrated financial modelling, and fractional CFO engagements structured to scale with each client's stage of growth.
