Analysis
The figures behind a decision, worked out before you make it: profitability by program, product or job, a pricing change, the real cost of a hire.
The problem
The decision gets made on a guess.
What's included
Everything in the analysis seat.
Who this suits
Anyone facing a decision big enough that guessing at the number is expensive.
- Profitability by program, product or job
- Pricing and margin analysis
- The real cost of a hire, a location, or a change
- Break-even and contribution modelling
- Cost allocation across programs and funds
- A recommendation, not just a spreadsheet
How it runs
We start from the question, not the spreadsheet.
- 01
We start from what the decision actually is, and what number would change your mind.
- 02
We work from your existing numbers rather than asking you to track anything new.
- 03
It ends in a recommendation, not just a model, because a spreadsheet nobody reads was never the point.
The rest of the practice
Reporting
Management reporting and board packages, produced on a schedule: the monthly or quarterly numbers, in plain language, on the table before the meeting and not after it.
See what's includedPlanning
Budgets, forecasts and cash-flow models, built and then kept current: what is coming, from payroll and the next hire through to reserves, runway and the year ahead.

Where to start
Not sure which one you need?
Most people are not, at first. A finance review sorts it out: we look at what you have, what you are being asked for, and what is falling through, then tell you what to hand over first.
