You have outgrown basic bookkeeping. You are not ready for a full-time CFO. We fit in between.

Fieldnote FinanceExplains what the numbers mean, what is coming and what to do about it.
Full-time CFOA senior hire with a senior salary. Right one day, maybe not yet.
Before and after

From a spreadsheet you dread to one page you read.

Most owners we talk to have the numbers. They are just scattered, late and hard to trust. We turn them into a short monthly report you can read in five minutes.

  • Numbers arrive weeks after the month ends
  • Seven versions of the same file
  • You find out cash is tight when it is tight

The monthly rhythm

Same steps, every month. No surprises.

Try it

How long would your cash last?

Runway is how many months your cash would last if nothing changed. Put in your own rough numbers. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere.

Include payroll, rent, stock, loan payments and owner pay.
10.0months
Net each month−$12,000
Starting cash$120,000

On these numbers you have some room, but not a lot. A forecast would show which months are tight.

An illustration using your own inputs, not advice. Real cash flow is lumpy: seasons, tax bills and slow payers all move the date. That is what a proper forecast is for.

Who we work with

Owner-led businesses with real momentum.

Makers, shops, studios and service firms. Usually the owner still signs every check and carries the numbers in their head. We help take that weight off.
