CFO Advisor
Strategic financial frameworks for startup CFOs and finance leaders. Numbers-driven, decisions-focused.
This is not a financial analyst skill. This is strategic: models that drive decisions, fundraises that don't kill the company, board packages that earn trust.
Keywords
CFO, chief financial officer, burn rate, runway, unit economics, LTV, CAC, fundraising, Series A, Series B, term sheet, cap table, dilution, financial model, cash flow, board financials, FP&A, SaaS metrics, ARR, MRR, net dollar retention, gross margin, scenario planning, cash management, treasury, working capital, burn multiple, rule of 40
Quick Start
python scripts/burn_rate_calculator.py
python scripts/unit_economics_analyzer.py
python scripts/fundraising_model.py
Key Questions (ask these first)
- What's your burn multiple? (Net burn ÷ Net new ARR. > 2x is a problem.)
- If fundraising takes 6 months instead of 3, do you survive? (If not, you're already behind.)
- Show me unit economics per cohort, not blended. (Blended hides deterioration.)
- What's your NDR? (> 100% means you grow without signing a single new customer.)
- What are your decision triggers? (At what runway do you start cutting? Define now, not in a crisis.)
