Scale your business, not your losses.
Senior operators for growth and finance. On demand.
Reality
Sound familiar?
You're scaling fast. These things tend to break first.
01
Spending more, growing less?
Channels multiply, budgets increase, but the curve flattens. Nobody can isolate which spend actually drives revenue — so everything stays on, just in case.
02
Growth and Finance don't share a language?
Marketing reports on leads and clicks. No one knows what's actually profitable. Financials live in a business plan with no real connection to your operational business.
03
Your financial model is a liability, not a tool?
Board meetings require a week of prep. Runway is a rough guess. When investors ask about unit economics or cohort payback, the answer is 'we'll get back to you.'
The real cost
The problem with hiring your way out.
This is the best-case scenario. No bad hires, no counter-offers, no surprises. It still doesn't add up.

What we deliver
Two pillars. One operating system.
Two things break when startups scale past product-market fit: the growth engine and the financial model. We fix both.
Pillar 1
Growth Ops
We audit your funnel, fix the leaks, and build the systems to keep it running.
- Funnel Audit
- Channel Optimization
- Conversion & Activation
- Retention & Lifecycle
- Referral & Growth Loops
- Experimentation
Pillar 2
Finance
We build the financial model, the forecasts, and the investor narrative.
- FP&A
- Unit Economics & Controlling
- Cash Management
- Fundraising Readiness
Who we are
Partners, not consultants.
We've been the person in the room when CAC doubled and nobody knew why. We've built the model that saved a funding round. We've fired the agency and rebuilt acquisition in-house. Not as advisors — as the person on the org chart. 10+ years in scale-ups.
