The Growth CFO Programme
For the person responsible for making the numbers make sense to everyone else.
Growth-stage companies that have raised a Series A or B often find themselves in a particular bind. The business is working. The product has traction. But the person carrying the finance function, whether that's a CFO, a Head of Finance, or a founder who inherited the spreadsheets, is now sitting in board meetings where the questions are getting harder.
The budget gets challenged. The assumptions get picked apart. One investor wants aggressive growth, another wants capital efficiency, and neither tells you which version of the plan they'd actually approve. The financial model exists but it doesn't quite answer the questions the business is facing right now.
This programme works with your real numbers, your real board dynamics, and your actual decisions. You leave each session with work product you will use that week.
Reading the business through its numbers
P&L, cash flow, balance sheet. Not accounting, not bookkeeping. The ability to understand what your financials are actually saying about where the business is and where it's headed. How burn rate connects to runway connects to fundraising timing.
WHAT THE PROGRAMME COVERS
Navigating the board approval process
How to structure the financial section of a board deck. How to present a budget that contains bad news. How to handle the Q&A. This is the piece that tends to catch people off guard, and the piece nobody teaches.
Financial modelling as a decision tool
Should you hire ahead of revenue. What do your unit economics need to look like to justify the next round. What happens to runway if you lose your biggest customer. Practical, scenario-driven modelling built around questions your business is actually asking.
