Strategic Raise Preparation

You might be a pre-revenue startup or a startup that generates a bit of cash with your initial product. You would like to raise funding from VC investors, so you need to put together a detailed financial model.

Does this set of deliverables resonate with you?

  • A detailed and dynamic financial model incorporating income statements, balance sheet and cash flow statements, and key financial metrics,

  • Projections for the next 5 years, with monthly breakdowns for the first 2 years and quarterly thereafter;

We can also take it a step further with —

  • Scenario and sensitivity analyses to model various business cases,

  • Valuation methods such as DCF, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions,

  • Preparation of visual materials and slides for VC presentations;

Your result is a model that’s user-friendly, easy-to-navigate, and allows for adjustable inputs to run multiple scenarios.

Ongoing Board Reporting

Perhaps you just raised funding from VC investors, and now you want to ensure your reporting is set up appropriately.

Here is our highest-to-lowest priority recommendations of what your investors expect to see.

It seems like a lot, and we know running your business is challenging enough without so much reporting - so we would do it all for you:

  • A bi-weekly cash flow model that incorporates the approved operating budget and tracks cash burn versus the budget;

  • A weighted sales pipeline that feeds into cash flow model and your P&L;

  • A quarterly financials package for Board that includes more detail about cash, A/R collections and timing, accounts payable, pipeline, gap to budget.

Deeper Dive

Sometimes your Board may ask for a lot more.

Or you might want to look at your vendor spend or advanced metrics.

Or you may decide that you need someone to drive your financial reporting to grow the business and NOT just present back financials to the Board or your investors.

We are here to support you and your business whenever you need it most.
