CFO Advisory — Retainer

CFO Advisory

Monthly reviews, KPI tracking, and a live command centre for cash, runway, and burn — every number checked by an advisor before it reaches you. No junior hand-offs, no black-box automation you can't verify.

Where we are, and where we're going

This is a service run by an advisor today, supported by software — not a self-serve product yet. We're building toward it in the open rather than marketing a finished automation we haven't shipped.

01
Today — human-led, software-assisted
Your advisor builds the model, runs the review, and verifies every figure. The dashboard is your window into that work, updated on your package's cadence.
02
Next — direct data connections
Connecting your accounting platform directly, so the dashboard reflects current numbers between reviews instead of only at review time.
03
Later — automated first pass, still human-verified
Routine categorisation and reporting generated automatically, with your advisor reviewing and signing off before anything reaches you — the review step doesn't go away.

CFO insights

This month

Burn accelerated 6% faster than forecast, driven almost entirely by the early engineering start date.

At current blended burn, cash reaches zero the first week of February.

How it works

What an engagement actually looks like

No surprise scope creep, no disappearing after the first deliverable — this is the same sequence for every package, just deeper at higher tiers.

Week 0

Diagnostic call

You share your current numbers — spreadsheet, accounting export, or existing books. We map cash position, burn, and runway, and flag what's missing before we commit to a package.

Week 1

Onboarding & baseline

Your advisor builds the model behind your dashboard, sets your KPI baseline, and connects your entity. You get dashboard access before the first full review.

Monthly

Review cycle

Actuals come in, your advisor reconciles them against forecast, updates the dashboard, and (Core and above) walks you through it live — not a report dropped in your inbox unread.

As needed

Ask Valrock CFO

Between reviews, ask a direct question — a hiring decision, a runway trade-off, board-prep numbers. Answered by your advisor, not a chatbot with no context on your business.

Every figure reviewed before it reaches you
Direct advisor access — no junior hand-offs
Fixed monthly pricing — no hourly billing
