At a certain juncture of a fast-growing business, all Founders face the same problem: What can I do so that my NUMBERS tell a compelling story to Investors & the Board? When I work with people at this stage, often the reported numbers are: Here’s the revenue, here’s the cost (sorted alphabetically 😐) Meh. What doesn’t come naturally to Founders (and to most finance support staff or small accounting firms) is to use the power of finance to tell a compelling story. With a well-told story, the runway becomes clear Founders know where to invest more resources, and a fundraise turns from a slog into an oversubscribed walk in the park.After working for years with start-up Founders, what I enjoy the most is to enable companies with unicorn potential to professionalise their finance function to a point where they become a true partner in the business. 🏭 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈 𝐃𝐎Bucket 1: I help you (Founders) to develop a professional finance function that adds value✅ audit current processes and 3rd party support✅ introduce reporting that is interesting to read✅ forecast and budget✅ assisting in fundraising and Board reporting✅ Upskill existing Finance senior Bucket 2: I help you (Finance Managers or new Finance Directors) to upskill into your role within a Fast Growth Business (8 week course: https://www.fastgrowthconsulting.co.uk/courses)💡 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐒Because Fast Growth businesses need as much insight as possible to facilitate the growth.
