Knowing where the month is heading before it ends.

Financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting: the difference between recording what happened and anticipating what is coming.

What this person does

The work, specifically.

  • Annual budgetBuilt with the departments, not imposed from a spreadsheet.
  • Cash flow forecastWhen you will have the cash, and when you will be short.
  • Variance analysisPlan versus actual, with the reason why, not just the difference.
  • Scenario modelsWhat happens if you raise prices, lose a large client, or hire three people.
  • Reporting packageThe set of numbers your board or your bank actually looks at.
What to expect at each level

Junior or senior is not only about price.

It is how much judgment they bring and how much supervision they need from you. Hiring senior for execution work is expensive; hiring junior for judgment work is more expensive still.

Junior
  • Feeds and maintains the existing models
  • Produces the monthly report in a fixed format
  • Gathers data from the departments
  • Runs the numbers; someone else supplies the judgment
Senior
  • Builds the model from scratch
  • Challenges the business assumptions, not just the numbers
  • Presents to leadership and defends the analysis
  • Connects finance to operating decisions
How to engage them

Engagement models that fit this role.

Option 01

Dedicated person

Full-time or part-time, assigned to you.

Option 02

Per project

Option 03

Hourly

An agreed rate with a monthly cap you control.

Our recommendation: Per project to build the model and the budget. After that, a few hours a month keeps it alive.

What we need from you

So it starts well.

  • At least 12 months of accounting history
  • Access to whoever knows the business, not just to the data
  • Clarity on which decision the model has to inform
How it works in practice

From signature to payment.

We use the standard U.S. professional services structure: a master agreement signed once, and a work order for each role or project.

01

MSA — Master agreement

Signed once and covering the whole relationship: confidentiality, ownership of the work delivered, responsibilities and a non-solicitation clause. It sets no prices.

02

SOW — Statement of work

One per role or project. It defines scope, level, engagement model, duration, rate and billing cycle. If the scope changes, a new one is signed.

03

Kick-off

Access, tools and onboarding. We hold the contract with the professional: they stay on our payroll, not yours.

04

Work and records

Depending on the model: timesheets you approve, or deliverables you accept. Either way there is a record of what was done before anything is invoiced.

05

Invoicing

On the cycle agreed in the SOW, and always against approved hours or accepted deliverables. Never in advance of the work.

06

Payment

Wire transfer to our U.S. entity. Because we are a registered U.S. LLC, your accounting treats us as a domestic vendor.

Rates, billing cycle and payment terms are agreed in each SOW according to the role and the volume. You get them in writing before you sign anything.
