Service overview
Growing companies often reach a point where bookkeeping and basic accounting are no longer enough. The business needs forward-looking financial leadership, better cash-flow visibility, board-level reporting, budgeting discipline and practical advice before important decisions are made. Strivano provides Fractional CFO and strategic finance support for companies that need CFO-level thinking without hiring a full-time senior finance executive.
Who this service is for
This service is for founders, owners and management teams that are scaling revenue, preparing for investors or lenders, improving profitability, entering new markets, managing cash pressure or trying to professionalize the finance function. It is also useful when management receives reports but still cannot answer simple strategic questions: how much runway do we have, which products or clients are most profitable, what happens if costs rise, and when can we safely hire or invest?
Problems we solve
- Management reports arrive too late to support decisions
- Cash-flow planning depends on rough estimates instead of a clear forecast
- Budgets exist but are not connected to operations or accountability
- The owner is making financial decisions without a structured CFO view
- Investors, lenders or boards need clearer reporting and explanations
What Strivano delivers
Every engagement is tailored, but the work is designed to create visible improvements in clarity, control and decision-making.
- Monthly management reporting pack with commentary
- Budgeting, forecasting and rolling forecast support
- Cash-flow planning and working capital visibility
- KPI reporting design and review rhythm
- Board, lender or investor reporting support
- Scenario planning for hiring, pricing, investment and growth decisions
Technology and automation advantage
Strivano uses automation and decision-support design to make finance easier to manage. Instead of building reports that sit unused, we design reporting flows that can be refreshed, reviewed and discussed. Where appropriate, AI-assisted summaries, dashboard views and planning models can reduce manual reporting effort and give leadership faster insight.
Our process
We begin by reviewing your accounting records, reporting cadence, cash-flow situation, business model and decision priorities. We then define the management information you need, improve the financial model, structure KPIs and create a practical review rhythm. The work can continue as monthly CFO support, project-based reporting improvement or a finance transformation plan.
