Hydgene Renewables (1)
Case study

The challenge

As deep tech startup HydGene Renewables evolved into a commercially focused business, they needed to scale operations while meeting investor expectations around governance and reporting. To strategically support their growth while focusing internal efforts on core tech development, HydGene engaged KPMG High Growth Ventures to provide targeted support across ESG policy development, managing the R&D tax claim, and CFO services. KPMG’s flexible billing, deep expertise, and collaborative approach aligned with HydGene’s growth needs, while networking opportunities and 1:1 support from a dedicated portfolio manager helped build trust and introduce timely, relevant support.

PAIN POINTS

  • Limited internal resources: With a lean team focused on core technology development, HydGene needed assistance with managing time-intensive but critical opportunities such as R&D claims
  • Transitioning financial operations: As the company grew, HydGene were looking to augment their financial operations with scalable solutions aligned to their growth
  • Managing Investor Expectations: With evolving investor expectations around governance and ESG, HydGene partnered with KPMG to gain clarity on best-practice frameworks and strengthen alignment with investor requirements

IMPACT

Since working with KPMG, HydGene has strengthened its financial agility and governance readiness, positioning the company for scale and long-term commercial success. Key outcomes include:
  • The development of robust and professional ESG policies and governance structures
  • A strategic transition from R&D to commercialisation with a flexible financial model
  • Access to consistent alternative finance options through R&D rebates, supporting the businesses' sustained growth
  • Investor and board confidence through professional reporting and strategic financial oversight
“Having KPMG at board meetings and available to present the management reports brings credibility and confidence to our board and investors, showing that we are managing this in a professional way.”
Louise Brown, CEO and Founder of HydGene Renewables
CU Health
Case study

The Challenge

CU Health, founded by neurologist Dr Patrick Aouad, is Australia’s first integrated digital health and wellbeing platform for the workplace, helping businesses improve employee performance and reduce risk. After years of R&D, CU Health entered a critical growth phase in 2025, preparing for a hard launch, scaling operations, and raising significant capital. Having worked with KPMG High Growth Ventures since 2022, the engagement deepened in 2025 as CU Health sought support in navigating accelerated growth moments, turning to our team for our startup-friendly approach, strong reputation, and ability to provide both strategic and operational support.

PAIN POINTS

  • Navigating capital raise readiness: CU Health needed expert support to prepare for a significant capital raise, including validating their financial model and managing a complex cap table.
  • Fragmented financial systems: The company’s existing financial tools were outdated and fragmented. They needed a consolidated view of financial reports to support investor conversations and internal decision-making.
  • Limited capacity for strategic finance: CU Health lacked in-house CFO-level expertise to confidently present financials to investors and structure post-raise strategies, prompting the need for flexible, high-trust advisory support.

IMPACT

Working with KPMG High Growth Ventures, CU Health has strengthened its financial foundations and sharpened its investor readiness. With tailored support and strategic input, the team was able to confidently navigate a accelerated growth phase. Key outcomes include:
  • A clearer, more robust financial structure to support investor conversations and internal planning.
  • Stronger alignment between CU Health’s growth story and the supporting financial materials.
  • Ongoing strategic input that enabled the team to plan for future capital deployment and operational scale-up.
“It’s a high-quality, engaging, solution-orientated service and it creates real benefit — it’s not a cost, it’s an investment working with KPMG High Growth Ventures.”
Dr Patrick Aouad, Founder & CEO of CU Health
BARE Team shot
Case study

The Challenge

BARE Funeral Group is a fast-growing end-of-life services company that has scaled rapidly, launching multiple subsidiaries and achieving positive financial outcomes. As the business matured, BARE wanted to professionalise its finance function, ensure better compliance, and prepare for deeper due diligence ahead of future funding rounds. After outgrowing the offering of a previous accounting firm, BARE sought a partner that understood the unique challenges of scaling startups. They chose KPMG High Growth Ventures for its pragmatic, growth-focused approach and ability to fortify their financial operations

PAIN POINTS

  • Levelling-up the finance function: BARE needed to strengthen its finance systems and reporting to meet the expectations of institutional investors and prepare for larger funding rounds.
  • Managing complex compliance: Managing tax, ESOP, and corporate secretarial obligations across multiple entities required expert guidance and scalable support
  • Lacking reliable strategic support: The team needed a partner that could respond quickly and reliably to urgent requests, especially during critical financial milestones

IMPACT

Since working with KPMG High Growth Ventures, BARE has strengthened its financial operations, enabling confident scaling and meeting investor expectations. With tailored support across compliance, tax strategy, finance, and ESOP management, the business is now equipped for sustained growth and strategic funding. Key outcomes include:
  • Completion of two funding rounds at higher valuations, supported by robust financial reporting and due diligence readiness
  • Secured debt funding and built a scalable finance function, positioning the business for future expansion
  • Managed the ESOP plans of a growing team, scaling from 5 employees to 90+
“We wanted to work with someone that understands growth and growing pains. From a finance perspective, someone that could help us in terms of compliance and R&D, and really fortify the finance function to make it robust for much more deeper due diligence.”
Kashif Amjad, VP Finance of BARE Funeral Group
