Details
You don’t need to be a CFO to run a financially sharp company. You need a simple system, the right metrics, and a repeatable rhythm. This masterclass is designed for founders and first‑time CEOs who want control without spreadsheets taking over their week.
You’ll walk away with:
- A 52‑week financial model you can maintain in 10 minutes/week
- Clear unit economics (CAC, LTV, payback, contribution margin) and how to improve them
- A lightweight finance stack (billing, bookkeeping, dashboards) that scales
- A KPI scorecard + monthly board/update template
- A fundraising readiness checklist and narrative pointers
- A guided Earlybird demo to automate cash flow tracking, month-end closing, and eliminate manual operations
