The problem

Growth hides its problems in the numbers.

  • You can’t see your cash

    Revenue climbs, the balance swings — and no one can say where cash sits.

  • The books look backward

    Last quarter’s clean P&L says nothing about the next two hires.

  • Finance lives in scattered sheets

    Built once, updated never — so problems stay hidden until they’re expensive.

Where we fit

Three seats. One looks forward.

Records what already happened.

What we run

One practice. The whole finance function.

01Strategic

Fractional CFO leadership

A senior CFO owning strategy, board reporting and the weekly cadence.

What it produces

  • Weekly decision cadence
  • Board-ready reporting
  • Strategy ownership

One cadence keeps strategy, operations and visibility from drifting apart.

Fractional CFO leadership

Senior leadership, sized to your stage.

What your CFO owns

  • A rolling 12-month forecast, updated monthly
  • The 13-week cash model, reviewed weekly
  • KPI definitions the team agrees on
  • Hiring and pricing calls, modeled first
  • Banking, credit and investor relationships
  • A board report read in minutes

A working cadence

The weekly room where instinct becomes a decision.

Outsourced accounting

Boring, on-time, immaculate — by design.

Strategy is only as good as the books beneath it — we run the whole engine, clean and closed by day 8.

day 8Reconciled and locked. Every month. No heroics.

01Payroll

On time, mapped to departments so labor cost shows.

02Accounts payable

Captured, approved and scheduled — cash out on your terms.

03Accounts receivable

Invoices out when earned; collections worked before they age.

04Monthly close

Reconciled and locked by day 8 — the foundation it all stands on.

Not a once-a-year spreadsheet — a living model, stress-tested against every deal that closes and every client that churns.

Three cases stay live, over a 13-week cash model reviewed weekly.

“What happens if…” stops being a worry and becomes a tab.

Three sliders. Your real model has hundreds of lines — but answers this same question.

Field notes

Three companies, three turns of the line.

Creative agency$4M revenue · 22 people

Profitable on paper, cash-poor in practice. A 13-week model turned chronic overdrafts into a six-figure buffer.

Burn was a black box. Scenario forecasting reset hiring and bought four months of runway.

Growth masked a margin leak in two contracts. Job-level reporting found it; repricing recovered it.

Questions

Asked often, answered straight.

  • Usually past ~$2M in revenue, sooner if growth is fast — big decisions made without a forecast.

  • Weekly cash reviews, monthly forecast-vs-actuals, quarterly resets. The rhythm is the product.

  • Usually yes. We run the engine and hand your tax pro clean, lender-grade financials.

  • The maturity assessment lands in two weeks; a rolling forecast and cash model within 90 days.

  • Two weeks of parallel running while we take the close — your team never re-keys a number.

  • No. We run your stack — QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite — and leave it cleaner than we found it.
