The Three Pillars of Startup Finance

Most founders treat finance as a monolith. In practice, it’s three distinct engines that need to run in parallel.

Fundraising & Capital Strategy

Everything from pitch narrative and financial models to term sheet negotiation and investor relations.

  • Pitch deck design & narrative structuring
  • Financial modelling & valuation
  • Cap table management & dilution analysis
  • Investor pipeline & data room
  • Term sheet negotiation & structuring

Finance Operations & Compliance

The plumbing — every gap you ignore today becomes a landmine during due diligence.

  • Bookkeeping & chart of accounts
  • Tax filings: GST, TDS, VAT, income tax
  • Revenue recognition & statutory audit
  • Payroll & entity structuring
  • Internal controls & expense policies

Strategic Finance (Internal CFO)

The brain — gives you conviction to make the right calls at the right time.

  • Budgeting & variance analysis
  • MIS dashboards & KPI tracking
  • Unit economics: CAC, LTV, payback
  • Contract & vendor evaluation
  • Pricing strategy & scenario planning
