Most online businesses run on instinct because their financial model is a P&L exported from accounting software. We build the model your operators actually need — driver-based, cohort-aware, and connected to the data warehouse — so decisions about pricing, hiring, and channel mix are anchored in arithmetic.

What you get

Concrete deliverables, named owners, weekly cadence.

Unit Economics Modeling

CAC, LTV, payback, and contribution margin — built per channel, per cohort, and per customer segment.

Cohort & Retention Analysis

Revenue cohorts, retention curves, and the dollar-impact analysis of every retention improvement.

Operating Model & Forecasts

A driver-based model that connects headcount, ad spend, and product decisions to a defensible forecast.

Pricing & Margin Analysis

Pricing structure design, packaging analysis, and margin diagnostics that find the leaks in your P&L.

Cash Runway & Scenarios

Cash forecasts, scenario models, and the sensitivity analysis a board will actually ask for.

Board & Investor Materials

Board decks, investor updates, and the financial narrative that fundraising and reporting require.

Our approach

A repeatable process, sized to the question.

STEP 01

Audit

Two weeks reading your financials, CRM data, and existing models. We return with a list of things you probably haven't measured.

01
STEP 02

Model

We build the operating model — driver-based, cohort-aware, tied to actuals from your warehouse where possible.

02
STEP 03

Stress-test

Scenario analysis. What if CAC rises 30%, retention drops 5 points, headcount doubles. The model breaks gracefully or it doesn't ship.

03
STEP 04

Operate

Monthly cadence with your CEO/CFO. The model is re-baselined against actuals, and the gaps drive next quarter's priorities.

Frequently asked

Common questions before we get started.

We have a finance team already — what do you add?

+

Online businesses run on cohort math, not GAAP. We complement existing finance teams with the unit economics and operating discipline that traditional finance backgrounds usually don't include.

Can you actually replace a fractional CFO?

+

For businesses up to about $20M ARR, yes. Above that, we typically partner alongside a fractional or full-time CFO.

Will the model live in Excel or in a system?

+

Both. Excel/Sheets remain the operating model. The numbers feeding it live in the warehouse. We connect them so the model refreshes on a click, not a copy-paste.

Do you help with fundraising?

+

We do the financial analysis and modeling. We don't run the raise itself, but our outputs are the foundation that investor conversations are built on.
