How Leask AS helped Neurofenix secure £5.5 million investment and keep growing!

About Neurofenix

Neurofenix is a health tech startup founded in 2016 by Guillem Singla Buxarrais and Dimitrios Athanasiou. Their mission is to transform neurological rehabilitation through cutting-edge technology that improves recovery outcomes for patients.

As they prepared for their Series A investment round and expansion into the US, they realised they needed more than just standard accounting. They needed a strategic partner who could support their

growth journey every step of the way.

The Challenges

Before working with Leask Advisory Solutions, Neurofenix was experiencing:

• Limited access to accurate and timely financial reporting
• A gap in strategic forecasting and investor readiness
• No group-level reporting across UK and US operations
• Fluctuations in exchange rates without clear cashflow planning
• Resource limitations as a growing startup

“As a startup, we assumed all accountants were the same. We quickly realised we needed someone with the right experience and mindset to match our ambitions.”
– Guillem Singla Buxarrais, Co-founder

The Leask AS Approach

Julia Leask was introduced through Neurofenix’s previous bookkeeper and quickly became a key partner in the business. Her hands-on, flexible approach and deep expertise made a powerful difference.

What Julia delivered:

• Financial management across UK, US, and consolidated group reporting
• Strategic cashflow planning to manage GBP:USD fluctuations
• Support during due diligence and investor relations
• Access to a trusted network of professional experts
• Pragmatic, responsive help with non-finance tasks like US visa data gathering
• Adaptability to support team members across time zones

“Julia’s not afraid to speak up, make tough calls, and roll up her sleeves to support areas outside finance when we need it.”

The Results

With Julia’s support, Neurofenix:

• Secured £5.5 million in Series A investment
• Maintained control and clarity during a period of fast-paced growth
• Built a trusted outsourced support structure
• Reached the point of hiring a permanent in-house Finance Director

“Julia helped us lay the foundations to grow. She’s a trusted pair of hands who shares our values and always goes the extra mile.”
