Who it's for

  • Founders who suspect there's money leaking somewhere but can't point at it.
  • Post-raise teams that need to prove their finance function is investor-ready.
  • Companies before hiring a full-time CFO or Finance Director – get the honest baseline first.
  • Owners considering a sale or bringing in a partner within 12 months.

Symptoms you need this

If more than two of these sound familiar, this is the service to start with.

You suspect a product or channel is unprofitable but can't prove it.
You want a second opinion on your current CFO / controller's numbers.
You're about to hire in finance and want to know what to actually hire for.
