01 / Symptoms

Sound familiar?

Three revenue numbers.

CRM, billing and the board pack disagree.

ARR nobody agrees on.

Calculated a different way each month.

Churn found in the bank.

Lost customers show up when cash dips.

A forecast with a new date.

Last quarter's spreadsheet, renamed.

02 / Your situation

Choose the situation you recognise.

03 / Diagnostic

A diagnostic comes first, so the work goes after the real leaks.

One way it can run. Every business is different, so the steps and their order change with what we find.

  1. 01

    Match sales to the bank

    Do the sales in your systems match the money that actually arrived?

  2. 02

    Recount recurring revenue

    What customers pay you each year, and who has stopped, worked out from the contracts.

  3. 03

    Trace when cash moves

    When customers pay you, when you pay staff and suppliers, and where the gaps fall.

  4. 04

    Agree what to fix first

    A short list of where money is leaking, in order, agreed with you.

Start here

Bring your last three months of reports to the first call.

04 / Reporting

Four numbers, one version of each.

Illustrative figures

Revenue

$402K this month

Does what we earned match the bank?

Cash flow

13 weeks ahead

How many weeks ahead can we see?

Churn

1.4% monthly

Who is leaving, and what does it cost?

ARR

$4.82M +3.1%

What can we count on, measured the same way?

Where the two meet.

Reporting that updates itself

Management accounts and dashboards that refresh from your own data, so the month-end scramble quietly disappears.

A model you can talk to

Cash flow and scenarios you can question in plain English and rebuild in minutes, not lost weekends.

Decisions, sooner

The numbers, the forecast, and the next actions in one place, ready the moment you need to make a call.

What each of them does →

Ways to work with me.

01 Monthly retainer The base

Every month

Ongoing, as your fractional CFO.

Regular finance reviews, a rolling cash forecast, KPI reporting and ongoing strategic guidance.

02 Hourly

By the hour

For focused pieces of work.

A model, a board pack, a pricing decision or a second opinion, without a monthly commitment.

03 Project-based

Priced per project

For work with a clear start and end.

A fundraise, a reporting system build, or acting as a project's finance lead from contract to close.

Not sure where the gap is?

That is usually the right place to begin. A short call, no pitch. We work out whether it is a numbers problem, an AI problem, or the bit in between, and where starting would help you most.
