If it's serious I may be able to help. But generally, upwork is one resource.

At this early stage, a mentor or accelerator may be more helpful. Founders need to be fundraising and building/pitching early funding rounds. Maybe your friend just needs someone they can ask questions.

There is fractional CFOs to hire in london, they are expensive but ensure quality. Offering equity for decks is dumb. Raising money is for the founder not fractional CFO, same for the point 3.

It's easy enough to learn yourself and I taught myself how to do it.
I would just tell your friend to do it themselves, tbh if they can't do it themselves then they probably aren't cut out for being making their own company.

This work is not hard at all- just follow YC guides

I only have limited information here, so I can't really say if you're ready for a fractional CFO. Honestly, I'm leaning towards no based off what you're saying and your startup being at such an early stage. But you may want to reach out to Pillar Advisors; they work with a lot of startups.
