Forecasting for Founders
"Can I really afford that new hire right now?"
"Wait, how long is our runway actually going to last?"
"What am I supposed to show the board when they ask for next quarter's projections?"
"If we change our pricing model, will we still make payroll in 3 months?"
Sound familiar? These are the financial questions keeping founders and CEOs up at night, especially when you don't have a CFO to give you clear answers. When your business is evolving weekly and your financial picture lives across multiple spreadsheets, making data-driven decisions feels nearly impossible.
