Finance & Accounting

Financial Analyst

Most financial models get built once for a fundraise or board meeting and then quietly rot, leaving leadership to make six-figure calls on gut feel. This service builds a live, three-statement financial model tied to your actual drivers (pricing, headcount, churn, unit economics) so you can stress-test a hiring plan, a pricing change, or a new market before committing real money. It's for operators who need to answer 'what happens if' questions quickly and credibly, whether that's for an investor conversation, a board deck, or an internal go/no-go decision. The output isn't a static spreadsheet but a maintained tool your own team can update and re-run as the business changes.

This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan, not a black box

These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.

1
Diagnose the decisions the model needs to support and identify the drivers that actually move your numbers.
2
Build a pilot version of the model against 1-2 historical periods to confirm it matches reality before projecting forward.
3
Review model logic and assumptions line by line with finance and leadership to catch blind spots before it's relied on.
4
Deliver the finished model with a training session so your team can run new scenarios independently.
