why i started helixCFO

I started HelixCFO—to bring real financial leadership to companies that need it most, in a way that’s flexible, modern, and values-driven. I love working with passionate founders and energized leadership teams. I wanted to design a model that lets me partner deeply with multiple companies while also staying present for my family—and contributing to the community. This is a model built with a purpose.

Scott Henderson
HelixCFO

I’m Scott Henderson, Founder & CEO of HelixCFO. I spent 20 years at Salesforce—joining when the company had just $24M in revenue and 300 employees and helping scale it to over $30B and 70,000 employees. I served in multiple global finance and operational leadership roles, ultimately as EVP of Global Revenue Operations. Along the way I led or had leadership roles in FP&A, International Fiance and the Controllership. I created the first SaaS revenue, pipeline, and bookings models; designed compensation plans for 10,000+ sellers across the globe; integrated 10+ acquisitions into the Salesforce platform; and drove major systems transformations across teams and regions. I know what great looks like—across products, countries, currencies, and scale.

But I’ve also been where my clients are today. For the past several years, I served as CFO at a venture-backed tech startup, where I helped extend runway, guide the company to cash flow break-even, and build the operating framework the team runs on today. I understand the pressure of needing to move fast, lead with imperfect information, and make decisions that affect your team and future.

That’s why I started HelixCFO—to give founders and executive teams access to seasoned financial leadership that adapts to the business. Leadership that can zoom out strategically, dive in operationally, and always stay aligned to what matters most.

When you work with HelixCFO, you work directly with me. I’m your CFO, your partner, and your single point of contact—all the way through.
