Decision-Ready Finance™
The 3-Part System Behind Confident Financial Leadership
Most founders don't need more spreadsheets. They need a financial system that prevents surprises instead of explaining them.
I build finance systems using my Decision-Ready Finance™ framework — three layers that work together:
The 3-Part System Behind Confident Financial Leadership
Most founders don't need more spreadsheets. They need a financial system that prevents surprises instead of explaining them.
I build finance systems using my Decision-Ready Finance™ framework that is made up of three layers that work together:
1) Engine
How the Business Actually Runs
Driver-based models, scenario planning, unit economics clarity.
Ideal State: You can stress-test decisions before making them, not after. Your forecast isn't just "last month + growth rate" — it's built from the drivers you actually control.
Example questions you can answer instantly:
"What happens if revenue drops 15% next quarter?"
"Can we afford to hire 3 engineers without shortening runway?"
"Which customer segments are actually profitable?"
2) Rhythm
How Decisions Actually Get Made
Operating cadence that forces choices with owners and timelines
Ideal State: Finance meetings that end with decisions, not just updates. Weekly, monthly, and quarterly sessions with clear agendas, owners, and action items.
Example outputs from each meeting:
Weekly: Variance explained → drivers identified → actions assigned
Monthly: Trends analyzed → risks flagged → scenarios updated
Quarterly: Strategy reset → assumptions challenged → plan calibrated
3) Story
How Leadership Understands the Business
Strategic narratives boards actually understand
Ideal State: Your board deck isn't a data dump. It's a clear narrative that answers: Where are we? What changed? Where are we heading? What could break? What should we do?
The 5-part financial narrative:
STATE: Here's where we are right now
DELTA: Here's what changed and why
TRAJECTORY: Here's where we're heading if nothing changes
EXPOSURE: Here's what could break the plan (quantified)
CHOICE: Here's what I recommend and the tradeoffs
When all three layers work together…
Finance becomes a competitive advantage instead of a compliance function. That's the power of Decision-Ready Finance™.
You're a Series A/B founder and:
Your board is asking tougher questions about your forecast and you can't answer scenario questions without 2 days of rebuilding the model
You have 6-18 months of runway but can't articulate exactly how many weeks you have under different hiring scenarios
You're making hiring decisions but unclear how each role affects cash runway (hire now vs. extend 4 months?)
Your forecast exists but doesn't actually change decisions — it's a spreadsheet you update, not a tool you use
Board meetings feel reactive — you're explaining variances instead of presenting strategic choices
You know you need "better finance" but you're not ready to hire a full-time CFO at $200K+ salary
If 3+ of these are true, you need Decision-Ready Finance™.
