First 90 Days CFO Sprint: Laying the Foundation for Scalable Growth

A focused engagement to clean up financials, implement scalable systems, and provide founders with clear visibility into their runway and growth strategy.

You’ve just raised a funding round—congratulations! Now comes the critical work of ensuring your startup has the financial structure, systems, and insights needed to scale effectively. The First 90 Days CFO Sprint is designed to give founders immediate, high-impact financial and operational support to build a strong foundation post-fundraise and set up for sustained growth and future fundraising success.

Key Areas of Focus

Common Early-Stage Startup Pitfalls & How This Sprint Prevents Them

• Running Out of Cash Too Soon – Without a clear cash flow & runway plan, many founders realize too late that they need to raise money. I help build precise cash flow models so you know exactly how long your capital lasts and when to fundraise.

• Messy Financials Hurting Future Fundraising – Early-stage startups often neglect financial hygiene, making due diligence painful later. I ensure your books are clean, GAAP-compliant, and investor-ready, so you never scramble to fix financials before a raise.

• Financial Clarity & Cleanup – Setting up core financial processes, organizing books, and ensuring clean reporting.

• Lean Operational Scaling – Establishing lightweight but scalable finance, HR, and operational frameworks.

• Budgeting & KPI Tracking – Defining key financial and operating metrics to drive decision-making.

• Investor & Board Reporting – Crafting financial narratives and materials for early investors and advisors.

• Next Fundraising Readiness – Structuring financials and data rooms to prepare for a strong next round of fundraising.
