If you're an ambitious founder, you probably:

→ Want to improve financial models

→ Struggle with optimizing your finance tech stack

→ Lack the time to enhance your financial strategies

→ Want to implement new financial software but don’t know how

→ Aim to prepare for successful fundraising rounds but need guidance

→ Seek to optimize your financial reporting but don’t know where to start

You might relate to all 7 of these points.

Or, You might just be struggling with 1.

Why does that matter?

Well, having a robust financial strategy is essential for growth.

And there's still a massive opportunity to maximize your revenue through specialized financial practices.

Don't believe me?

Here are 5 things that my employers have said my expertise helped them do:

1. To create awareness for potential investors and partners

2. To attract investment by optimizing their financial structures

3. To communicate their growth potential better to stakeholders

4. To streamline operations by implementing various financial software

5. To stand out from competitors through financial insights and strategy

Implementing these strategies can boost your revenue, growth, and financial performance.
But you don't have time for that…

You're too busy doing other stuff like,

I don't know, scaling your company.

So what happens now?
I'll take over your financial strategy for you.

I have helped dozens of companies in:

― Preparing them for fundraising rounds,
― Optimizing their finance tech stacks,
― Enhancing their financial models,
― And more.

And no, I don't mean providing:

→ Generic financial advice
→ One-size-fits-all strategies
→ Pointless number crunching

I mean ACTUAL tailored financial solutions.

Created by a real fractional CFO.

Who leverages industry insights, proven frameworks, and your company's unique needs to drive real growth.

So, which path you'll want to go:

A - Sit and do nothing, leaving your financial strategies to chance.

Or

B - Sit and do nothing while I optimize your financial strategy, prepare you for fundraising, and help you skyrocket your revenue.

I know you're shouting B inside you.

Let's map out strategies to streamline your financial operations and identify new avenues for growth and investment.

How I’d create a cash flow forecast in under 20 minutes:  

(🆓 Free cash flow template included)  

♻️ Repost this to get the full walkthrough video too  

1. Understand your cash flow basics.  

• Start with your current cash balance.
• Include all expenses (e.g., rent, payroll).
• List all income sources (e.g., sales, loans).
• Factor in one-off payments like taxes or equipment purchases.

Your forecast should give you a clear view of how cash moves in and out of your business.  

2. Use a simple structure for forecasting.  

• List all income and expenses for the month.
• Identify key cash flow drivers like payment terms or seasonality.
• Add balance sheet items like loan repayments or owner’s draws.
• Project cash flow for the next 3-12 months using realistic assumptions.

This step ensures you’re not missing critical cash movements, keeping your forecast accurate and actionable.  

3. Build the forecast using my free template.  

Start with your beginning cash balance.
• Adjust projections as new data comes in.
• Use built-in formulas to ensure totals and trends are clear.
• Input income and expenses as absolute values (no negatives).

You can also add “what-if” scenarios:  
• Can you afford to hire a new employee next quarter?
• What happens if revenue drops by 20%?

4. Make informed business decisions.  

With a cash flow forecast, you can:  
• Adjust spending to stay within your means.
• Plan for investments with confidence.
• Spot potential cash shortages early.

Example: “If my forecast shows negative cash flow in September, I can reduce expenses in July to avoid issues.”  

Go implement this now and take control of your cash flow!

PS: Reviewing cash flow forecasts for the next hour - drop yours below for feedback!

Helping tech founders make smarter financial decisions (and scale like Usercentrics to €100M ARR) | Fractional CFO & FP&A Advisor

I just mapped out how to master your cash flow in 2026

(Save this so you can use it later)

If you want to:

Avoid cash shortfalls.
Run a healthy, scalable business.
Make confident spending decisions.

Follow this cash flow strategy step-by-step.

Your commitments:
1. Weekly cash flow check-ins
2. Real-time invoice and AR tracking
3. Forecasting and budgeting reviews monthly
   
The system:
• Optimize surplus...don’t sit on idle cash
• Use dashboards to watch cash trends
• Forecast incoming + outgoing cash
• Plan for gaps before they hurt you
• Monitor OPEX and identify leaks
• Set up a clean invoicing system
• Identify all your income sources
• Budget spending across teams
• Track receivables consistently

The growth compounder:
1. Layer in automation early
   ↳ Invoice faster = get paid faster
   ↳ Alerts = catch gaps before they grow
   ↳ Dashboards = visibility at all times
   
2. Use visuals to communicate cash reality
   ↳ Founders understand faster
   ↳ Teams align easier
   ↳ You make faster decisions
   
3. Review → Forecast → Adapt
   ↳ Every month. Without fail.
   
For me, this cycle changed everything. I now help 50+ founders use this to scale profitably.

➠ Bonus hack: Use your cash surplus strategically.

Reinvest in growth when the time is right. But never without forecasting.

This system isn’t complicated.

Follow it for 365 days...and your finances won’t just survive, they’ll scale.

Most board packs are broken.

Stop sending decks with 50+ slides. Instead, run this test:

Track your board prep process across five steps
And your whole finance workflow will evolve.

Start with what to fix:

Step 1: Data Collection
Gather P&L, balance sheet, cash flow
Make sure numbers are fresh

Step 2: Reconciliation
Check accuracy, align systems
Avoid surprises

Step 3: Variance Summary
Explain gaps, call out drivers
Tie to forecast

Step 4: Risks & Opportunities
Highlight trends, staffing, burn
Bring real insight

Step 5: Packaging
Use dashboards, not PDFs
Lead with clarity

What I learned after 200+ board preps:

→ Guesswork = low confidence
→ Templates = medium confidence
→ Finance Pack Process = high confidence

Now, rate your current board prep:

↳ Data Freshness: 0–5
↳ Variance Clarity: 0–5
↳ Visuals + Story: 0–5

Your Score:
13–15: Strategic Pro (Investors love you)
10–12: On Track (Tighten story)
6–9: Mid Pack (Clean things up)
0–5: Chaos Zone (Fix it now)

Most teams try to impress investors.

Great teams inform them.

Own your boardroom by mastering this process.

If you’re €5–50M ARR and you can’t explain ARR movement in 60 seconds…

You’re not in control.

Save this ARR bridge 👇

Starting ARR
• New ARR
• Expansion ARR
 – Contraction ARR
 – Churn ARR
 = Ending ARR

Now the part most teams miss:

1) New ARR isn’t pipeline

Pipeline is hope.
Bookings is reality.

Do this instead:
 ↳ Track slippage weekly
 ↳ Separate “commit” from “upside”
 ↳ Model cycle length changes

2) Expansion ARR isn’t “upsell”

Expansion is a system:
pricing,
adoption,
packaging,
CS capacity.

Do this instead:
 ↳ Track expansion by segment
 ↳ Tie expansion to product adoption
 ↳ Separate price uplift from true usage uplift

3) Churn ARR isn’t a single number

“Churn” hides everything.

Do this instead:
 ↳ Split logo churn vs churn ARR
 ↳ Split contraction vs churn
 ↳ Track churn reasons as leading indicators

4) The bridge is a weekly operating tool

Not a month-end report.

Because at this stage:
small leaks become big problems quietly.

Master the bridge and you’ll stop having “surprise” quarter endings.

PS. If you want the ARR bridge template I use (with definitions + checks), comment "ARR" and I’ll share it.

Never say "I can't". Say "How can I?"
When someone asks me, "Can you do this for me?" I always say, "I Can" , then I figure out what is the best possible recourse. But saying "I can't" denies me the opportunity of providing a solution or learning a new approach.

I believe in Always trying  first! 

How can I help? is always my enabling energy.

I am a dynamic outlier. Always trying to outdo myself; From being an ambitious student to being a responsible professional, it has been a very successful journey. 

My enthusiasm for software and design, as well as my desire to make a positive impact, led me to pursue a career as a software engineer at Infosys, one of the world's top IT companies. While many of my peers struggled to find project assignments, I was given one early on because of my knowledge of Share Point, a new technology that few others knew about at the time.

Driven by my passion for learning, I began exploring further educational opportunities after moving to South Africa. Despite facing various challenges, I persevered by researching the local environment and ultimately decided to pursue a degree in Accounts & Finance.

In the meantime, I provided virtual consultation services to startups and small businesses in India, offering support in areas such as enterprise setup, concept development, accounting and financial management, sales process optimization, communication leadership, and stakeholder alignment.

As a believer of Personal Growth , I like to learn new skills and always strive to improve myself on a daily basis. I am a "Go To" person for problem solving in both professional and personal life. 

In my spare time I write and proud author of varied published and unpublished works.
