Our lean startup and scale up advisory helps founders build a finance function that matches their stage: lean and low-cost while you find product-market fit, then robust and investor-grade as you scale.
Lean startup stage
- Minimum viable finance: the systems you need now, nothing you do not
- Burn and runway tracking from day one
- Unit economics: CAC, LTV, payback and gross margin
- Budgets for experiments and MVP launches
- Investor-ready reporting for your first raise
Scale up stage
- Building and documenting your finance processes
- Systems and app stack review around Xero
- Approval workflows, controls and month-end close discipline
- Hiring plans and the payroll, super and payroll tax impact
- Preparing for due diligence, audits and Series A/B
- Multi-entity and international expansion considerations
Frequently asked questions
When should a startup invest in its finance function?
Earlier than most founders think. Clean numbers make fundraising, R&D claims and hiring decisions faster and cheaper.
Do you replace our finance team?
No. We fill the gaps and build the processes so your team, and your future CFO, can run them.
