Three connected disciplines
Reporting tells you what happened. Advice tells you what to do next.
Most businesses need all three, in that order. Reliable reports come first, analysis explains them, and CFO support turns them into decisions.
Start with the pillar you need most. Each one builds on the one before it.

Problems we solve
When the numbers raise more questions than they answer.
Common finance problems in growing businesses, and the practical approach we take to each.
Revenue is growing, but profit isn't.
Our approachBreak margin down by product, service and customer to find where profit leaks.
Cash flow is hard to predict.
Our approachBuild a rolling cash flow forecast tied to receivables, payables and commitments.
Management doesn't trust the reports.
Our approachFix the reconciliations and classifications underneath, then standardise the pack.
Costs rise without a clear reason.
Our approachAnalyse cost structure and trends so every major movement has an explanation.
Budgets aren't linked to actual results.
Our approachSet up monthly budget versus actual reporting with variance commentary.
Decisions are made without forecasts.
Our approachPrepare forecasts and scenarios so options can be compared before committing.
There are no meaningful KPIs.
Our approachAgree a short set of KPIs that matter and report them consistently.
You need senior finance input, not a full-time CFO.
Our approachProvide fractional CFO support, scaled to the time and depth you need.
Every business is different. We focus on clarity and better information, and don't promise specific financial outcomes.

Product Pricing & Break-Even Analysis
Growing regional ecommerce business on Odoo 19 · confidential
The challenge
The business sold through Odoo 19 ecommerce and needed clearer visibility of product economics: what each product cost, whether prices covered those costs, and the sales level needed to cover operating expenses.
What we did
- Analysed product costs
- Evaluated selling prices against those costs
- Analysed operating expenses
- Prepared break-even calculations
What was delivered
- Product cost analysis
- Selling price evaluation
- Operating expense analysis
- Break-even calculations
- Management reporting
Business relevance
Pricing and growth decisions are only as good as the cost picture behind them. The analysis gave management a structured view of product economics and the break-even point to plan against.
This is the same workstream shown as Project 02 on our ERP page, not a separate client. No profitability, savings or other results are claimed.
