Growth at this level demands more than guesswork. Get CFO firepower built for high-velocity eCommerce brands—without the overhead of a full-time CFO.
Are you trapped in second-gear growth?
You’ve cracked $3M, maybe even hit $12M or more. You should be sprinting toward $20M and beyond, but instead, it feels like you’re spinning your wheels.
Your team juggles ten dashboards, none of which tell the whole story. Everyone has an opinion, but no one’s sure where your efforts should really be focused. Things are going well enough, but the frustration is mounting...
“Good enough” is costing you millions
Every time you settle for “good enough,” you’re leaving serious money on the table. In eCommerce, complacency doesn’t just slow you down—it kills your competitive edge.
Your rivals have the green light to zoom past you.
Scale-stalling surprises lurk around every corner.
You’re scaling fast, but you’re starting to notice all the speed bumps. Ballooning overhead—leases, tools, team bloat—meets sneaky operational costs buried in fulfillment, shipping, and unexpected returns. What felt lean 6 months ago is a costly maze today. Without tight financial control, every order chips away at your margin—and overhead quietly eats the rest.
Reality check: are you scaling...or sprawling?
On paper, you're growing. In reality? You’re leaking margin at every turn. Until those holes are plugged, scale just means accelerating the drain.
What looked like scale might actually be sprawl... and sprawl is not sustainable.
Funding fumbles mean missed opportunities.
Guessing at your funding horizon means either over-raising (painful dilution) or under-raising (missed opportunities). Without bulletproof forecasts, your roadmaps read like fiction, not fact. And that means plenty of polite nods, but no real backing.
Your slide decks wow, but wallets stay shut
No matter how impressive your decks look, shaky numbers kill confidence. The moment a potential investor asks for models and scenario analyses, your team scrambles—exposing critical gaps that slam the door on further conversations.
Investor doubt destroys deals. Doesn’t your brand deserve better?
