You're Building Fast. Your Finances Shouldn't Slow You Down.

Most early-stage founders face the same moment: growth accelerates, complexity spikes, and investors start asking questions you can’t answer quickly enough. If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone, and you’re ready for a CFO:

The Problem The Oak Solution

Investors asking for financials Investor-grade models & board decks
Contradicting spreadsheets Single source of truth reporting
Scaling without a plan Growth roadmaps & cash milestones
Tax & compliance worry Expert US & Global compliance

Everything Your Startup's Finances Need

From pre-seed to Series B, we give startup founders the financial leadership they need to grow confidently, impress investors, and avoid costly mistakes, without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Financial Planning & Forecasting

Multi-scenario forecasts covering 12–36 months so you always know where your startup is headed and what it takes to get there.

Cash Flow & Runway Management

Burn rate monitoring, runway modeling, and early shortfall detection, giving you time to act, not react.

KPI Dashboards & Performance Tracking

Custom dashboards built around the metrics that matter, CAC, LTV, MRR, churn, and gross margin, so board meetings become confident conversations.

Investor-Grade Financial Reporting

Clean, accrual-based financials maintained to the standard top-tier investors expect. Always audit-ready, always diligence-ready.

Fundraising & Investor Readiness

Pitch-deck financials, data rooms, and financial models built to make your numbers as compelling as your story, at seed, Series A, or beyond.

Financial Modeling & Scenario Analysis

From unit economics to three-statement models, your biggest decisions get backed by clear, reliable financial infrastructure.

Budgeting & Cost Optimization

Realistic, department-level budgets with a sharp eye on waste, keeping your startup lean while funding what actually drives growth.

Tax Planning & Compliance

Strategic tax planning, R&D tax credits, and full compliance management, so you stay on the right side of the law while keeping more of what you earn.

Cap Table & Equity Advisory

Dilution modeling, SAFE note structuring, option pool sizing, and 409A valuations, helping founders protect ownership at every funding stage.

M&A & Exit Advisory

Due diligence preparation, deal structuring, and financial readiness for acquisitions or major capital raises, so you negotiate from a position of strength.

From First Idea to Major Exit — We're With You at Every Stage

Your financial needs evolve as your startup grows. Here’s how we show up at each stage.

Pre-Seed & Idea Stage
Getting the foundations right from day one.

Most founders at this stage are building with passion but without a financial roadmap. We help you set up the right business structure, establish clean bookkeeping practices, build your first financial model, and create a realistic budget, so when the first investor asks for your numbers, you're ready.
Seed Stage
Making your startup investor-ready.

You've got traction. Now you need to prove it with numbers. We prepare investor-grade financial statements, build compelling pitch-deck financials, model your runway, and help you tell a financial story that gets funded. We also set up the KPI tracking and reporting systems that keep you in control as you grow.
Series A
Scaling smart, not just fast.

Growth at this stage can burn cash quickly if left unmanaged. We bring budgeting discipline, department-level cost controls, and rolling cash flow forecasts to make sure every dollar raised is working toward your milestones. We also support board reporting and investor communications so your stakeholders always have confidence in your direction.
Series B & Beyond
Building an enterprise-grade finance function.

At this stage, complexity grows fast, multiple revenue streams, international expansion, equity management, and M&A conversations. We bring senior CFO leadership to manage financial operations at scale, prepare you for due diligence, optimize your cap table, and position your startup for a successful exit, IPO, or next major raise.
Exit & Acquisition
Protecting your value at the finish line.

When acquisition or exit talks begin, your financials become your most scrutinized asset. We prepare your data room, clean up historical records, lead financial due diligence, and advise on deal structure, making sure you walk away with the maximum value for everything you've built.

Wherever you are on that journey, we know the next step.
