↳ How It Works

Meet the junior who never forgets.

Hired alongside your CFO. Shadows every decision. Gets sharper every month. Stays when the CFO leaves.

↳ The Arc

Competent on day one. Indispensable by year one.

The value isn't the first package. It's the curve — the accumulated context, voice, and judgment that compounds, week after week, while the system watches you work.

Day One: the analyst shows up.

Nothing mystical. Read-only credentials, historical ingest, and a senior fractional CFO reviewing every figure before it hits your inbox. You are board-ready before the end of week one.

48H

Read-only access, nothing else

QuickBooks, Stripe, Salesforce, your contracts folder, a Slack channel. We connect. We never write.

Ingest

Eighteen months, mapped

Chart of accounts normalized. SaaS metrics back-filled. Anomalies flagged. Your historical narrative, structured.

90 min

First package drafted

Board deck with exec narrative. Variance analysis. Cohort NRR. Cash runway. Ready to edit — not ready to read.

Publish

Your CFO reviews, signs, delivers

A senior fractional CFO reads every figure, hardens every claim, adds the judgment. The pack that goes out has a human name on it.

ACT IIMonth Three · Voice-matched

It starts sounding like you.

Twelve meetings watched. Thirty drafts edited. The analyst learns how you frame a miss, which trade-offs matter, and what your board chair always asks. Same question — asked in month one and month three — gets very different answers.

Month 1 · Out of the boxcompetent
Question
“Why did gross margin drop 400 bps?”
Answer
Gross margin decreased from 72.8% to 68.6% quarter-over-quarter, a change of -4.2 percentage points. Drivers: higher COGS ($312K increase), revenue mix shift toward lower-margin tiers, and rising personnel costs.
Accurate. Template-shaped. No judgment call.
Month 3 · After watching youvoice-matched
Question
“Why did gross margin drop 400 bps?”
Answer
GM held at 71% ex-items. The 400bps print is one cause: the DataCo migration absorbed $312K of one-time implementation cost. Three of six customers on the new tier accept the trade; two want to re-negotiate. I'd hold the line — their CAC payback is seven months. Worth the fight.
Your framing. Your recommendation. Your tone.
01

Your framing sticks

Variance commentary reads the way you’d write it. Because you edited five of them last quarter, and the analyst learned.

02

Your judgment is encoded

“Pricing decisions always get 12-month sensitivity, not 6.” Told once. Remembered forever.

03

Your tone carries over

Board memo in your CFO’s voice. Investor update in yours. Portco rollup in the PE firm’s house style. Each stays distinct.

04

Your attention stays aimed

It knows what your board chair always asks. It drafts the answer before the question lands.

What each seat notices now
CEO
“I don’t re-brief anyone.”
CFO
“It’s basically me, on demand.”
PE Operator
“Consistent rollup. Distinct portcos.”
Board Member
“Same hand across every pack.”
ACT IIIMonth Twelve · Institutional memory

By year one, it's an asset, not a tool.

Twelve months of decisions, edits, and judgment compound into something no new hire can replicate in five. Four things you own, that grow in value every month.

A decision ledger

Every recommendation the analyst made — accepted, overridden, deferred — with reasoning on file. 147 calls logged by month twelve, searchable.

A style library

Your CFO’s voice. Your board chair’s patience for detail. Your PE firm’s house template. Saved as a living document that grows month over month.

A judgment graph

The system remembers: last time you discounted in Q3, churn spiked in Q1 for those cohorts. It surfaces the pattern before you repeat the mistake.

Yours to keep

Walk away tomorrow — the ledger, the library, and the graph come with you. No lock-in. What the analyst learned is your asset, not ours.

What each seat notices at year one
CEO
“Memory doesn’t walk out the door.”
CFO
“I built this. It belongs to me.”
PE Operator
“Year 2 compounds on year 1.”
Board Member
“Continuity across CFO transitions.”
