Senior finance,
without the seat.

Our engagements are scoped to what your company actually needs. We embed in your Slack, join your board calls, and build the financial infrastructure that scales with your round.

01 — Financial modeling

Built to be interrogated.

Three-statement models, scenario analysis, and unit economics. Every output traces to an assumption. No black boxes — your team can read it on day one.

02 — Fundraising readiness

Data room to pitch deck.

Investor-grade financial projections, KPI definitions, and diligence packages prepared before the first meeting. Founders don't get surprised in the data room.

03 — Board reporting

Every number, sourced.

Monthly board packs with variance commentary. KPIs defined once, computed the same way every month. Board members read it in ten minutes. Questions have answers.

04 — Cash & runway

Burn tracked. Runway known.

Weekly cash position, payables management, and rolling 13-week forecast. You always know where you stand — not the week after you needed to know.

05 — GAAP & audit prep

Clean books before the auditor.

Monthly close, accruals, revenue recognition, and audit readiness. We do the work so your auditors spend less time on fieldwork and more time on signing.

06 — Strategic finance

Headcount, pricing, structure.

Hiring plan tied to revenue, SaaS pricing modeled against LTV, entity structure reviewed before the round. Finance as a decision tool, not a reporting obligation.

Engagement · Onboarding

Up and running in four weeks.

No multi-month ramp. No knowledge transfer theater. We audit, model, and report — in the order that matters to your board and your investors.
