Financial Planning & Analysis,Done For You.

Fractional FP&A and an outsourced finance function for founders who've outgrown spreadsheets but aren't ready for a full-time CFO. Ongoing budgeting, forecasting, board reporting, KPI tracking and cash management, delivered monthly by ex-Big 4 advisors with 500+ engagements behind them.

20 minutes with Gabriel. No sales rep, no deck, no obligation.

FP&A as a Service: What's Included in Your Monthly Retainer

The full set of financial planning and analysis deliverables (the same ones a $200K+/year head of FP&A would own), packaged into a single monthly cadence.

Budgeting & Forecasting

Annual operating budgets and rolling 13-week and 12-month forecasts built from your real cost drivers (headcount, pipeline, churn, payment terms), not last year's numbers plus a percentage.

Monthly Board Packs

Investor-grade monthly board reporting: revenue and gross-margin walk, burn and runway, KPI scorecard, commentary on what moved and why. Same structure your VCs already expect.

KPI Dashboards

Live KPI dashboards covering MRR/ARR, CAC, LTV, payback, net revenue retention, gross margin, sales-cycle and pipeline coverage, tied directly to the model so the numbers can't drift.

Cash Flow Management

Cash flow management, weekly cash conservation reviews, AR/AP discipline, runway projections under multiple hiring and revenue scenarios so you never get surprised 30 days before a raise.

Scenario Planning

Scenario planning across Base, Best and Worst cases for hiring, pricing changes, churn shocks, fundraising delays. We pre-build the decisions so you can act in days, not weeks.

Variance Analysis

Monthly variance analysis: actuals vs. budget vs. forecast, by line and by driver. We don't just flag the variance; we explain the operational reason behind it so the next forecast gets better.

Built for the "too big for spreadsheets, too small for a full-time CFO" stage

An outsourced FP&A partner is most valuable in the window where finance complexity outruns your bandwidth, and a full-time hire would still be six months from useful.

Stage

Seed to Series B companies

Revenue between $0.5M and $30M ARR. Past the napkin-math stage, not yet ready for a $250K/year full-time CFO. The exact window where fractional FP&A pays for itself in the first quarter.

Team

Founders without a CFO

You're the CEO, the head of sales, and, until now, the head of finance. We become your outsourced finance function so you can stop reconciling QuickBooks at midnight and go back to running the company.

Systems

Companies outgrowing spreadsheets

Your model used to fit on one tab. Now you have 14 sheets, three definitions of "revenue," and a board meeting in two weeks. We rebuild it as one auditable source of truth and run it for you.

How It Works: Onboarding, Monthly Cadence, Deliverables

A repeatable rhythm, not a one-off project. From week one we own the close, the forecast, and the board narrative.

1
Onboarding

Weeks 1–2: Diagnostic & financial baseline

We connect to your accounting system, build a clean historical baseline, document your real revenue model and cost drivers, and align with you on the KPI scorecard your board cares about. By the end of week 2 you have a working monthly model, a defined chart of accounts, and a calendar of recurring deliverables.

2
Monthly cadence

Ongoing: A predictable, repeatable rhythm

Every month: actuals close → variance analysis → updated 12-month forecast → board pack → live KPI dashboards. Mid-month we run a cash and runway review. Quarterly we re-baseline the budget and stress-test the plan against new market data. Async-first, with a standing 30-minute working call.

3
Deliverables

What lands in your inbox each month

A board-ready PDF/slide pack, the updated three-statement model, the cash flow tracker, the KPI dashboard, and a written executive summary covering what changed, what worked, what didn't, and the three decisions you should make next month. No "raw spreadsheet, good luck" hand-offs.

Pricing: Monthly Retainer from $1,499

Productized tiers start at $1,499/month for early-stage companies. We size the retainer to the complexity of your finance function (number of entities, ARR, headcount, board cadence), and confirm scope before you commit.

Why ex-Big 4 Matters: An FP&A Consultant Your Board Has Already Seen the Work Of

Investor & board credibility

VCs and banks recognize Big-4 structure instantly. Models, board packs, and variance commentary built to the standards of the world's largest professional services firms reduce diligence friction and shorten fundraise cycles.

500+ engagements of pattern matching

After 500+ projects across SaaS, services, manufacturing, energy and crypto, we don't guess what your numbers should look like; we know the operating ranges and can flag a broken assumption from across the room.

Senior judgment, not junior hours

You work directly with Gabriel, who spent his early career as a senior advisor and consultant at two of the Big-4 (the largest professional services firms in the world), not a team of analysts billing in 15-minute blocks. Decisions get made in the working call, not in week-three follow-up emails.
