Two weeks · Fixed fee · One senior partner

The Finance Diagnostic.Written findings. Monday-ready.

Built for operators in manufacturing, semiconductors, technology, SaaS, payments, and hospitality. We come in, look at the books, the systems, and the people — and hand back a document the CFO can execute against.

Where we go deep

Industries we've actually closed books in.

Manufacturing & Semiconductors

Standard costing, WIP, fab yield accounting, inventory NRV, capex pacing.

Technology

Hardware/software revenue split, BOM costing, deferred revenue, R&D capitalization.

SaaS

ASC 606 for usage + tiered + overages, ARR vs revenue, CAC payback, IPO readiness.

Payments

Interchange and net settlement, chargeback reserves, FBO accounts, money-movement controls.

Hospitality & Theme Parks

Unit economics, four-wall margin, ticket-deferral, gift card breakage, labor scheduling.

What you get

Six artifacts. Not a slide deck.

Every deliverable is something a controller or audit partner could pick up and use without a translator.

  • Top 5 financial-reporting risks ranked by audit/board exposure
  • Close calendar redesign — days-to-close target and what's blocking it
  • Revenue recognition memo specific to your contracts
  • Cost accounting / unit economics teardown with the actual numbers
  • System & data-flow map (ERP, billing, POS, payment processor → GL)
  • 12-month roadmap with sequencing, owners, and cost
Two weeks, end to end

No discovery theatre.

Days 1–3

Intake & data pull

Trial balance, last two closes, revenue contracts, system architecture, org chart. NDA on day one.

Days 4–9

Working sessions

Four to six 60-minute sessions with controller, FP&A lead, RevOps, and the system owner. No fluff workshops.

Days 10–14

Findings & roadmap

Written deliverable, 20–30 pages. 90-minute readout with the CFO and board chair if relevant.

Bring us your hardest finance question.

IPO readiness, ERP migration, restatement risk, a system that doesn't tie to the GL, a board that wants better numbers. Two weeks from now, you'll know exactly what to do.
