After starting a consulting business to help businesses raise equity, after more than a decade in investment banking, we saw a major problem:
Well run companies were being held back – not because of bad ideas, but because they didn’t have the financial leadership needed to grow and raise capital.
Most small businesses had a bookkeeper and a tax accountant. But they didn’t have anyone helping them prepare proper financial statements, plan cash flow, adjust business strategies, or get investor-ready.
Meanwhile, big companies had full-time CFOs making over $200K a year – and small businesses were left to figure it out alone.
We knew there had to be a better way.
