FAQ

Fractional CFO questions, answered straight.

The four questions we ask every founder first, plus everything people want to know before they book a call.

Four questions to test your own numbers

If the answer starts with "about", you don't know your profit. Revenue is not profit. We rebuild your P&L so every month closes with one number you can trust – and a one-page read on what moved it.
Part of it is tax, suppliers and refunds. Spending it feels like growth until it isn't. We separate committed cash from free cash, so you always know how much you can actually spend this week without breaking payroll.
Without unit economics you scale the losers along with the winners. Contribution margin per SKU and per channel, after ads, fees and returns. Usually 2–3 lines quietly fund the losses of everything else.
Payroll week should never be the moment you find out. A rolling 13-week cash forecast, updated weekly. You see the tight week a month before it arrives – while there are still options.
