Hi, I’m looking for someone with strong experience in financial management, budgeting, forecasting and management reporting for growing companies. We’re currently at a stage where we need much better visibility into the financial side of the business, but I’m not looking to build an accounting system. What I’m trying to get control over is: * Budgeting * Forecasting * Cash flow planning * Revenue tracking * Contribution margin (DB1) * Profitability * Management reporting * Board reporting * Growth planning I need a simple but professional way to understand things like: * How much have we sold? * How much has been delivered? * How much has been invoiced? * How much has been paid? * What do we owe suppliers/partners? * What is our actual contribution margin? * What will our cash position look like in 30/60/90 days? * Budget vs actual performance * Forecast vs actual performance My initial thought was to build a strong Excel or Google Sheets model and potentially use AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT to assist with analysis and reporting. Before I move forward, I’d love to hear how you would approach this. If you were brought in as a finance/FP&A consultant, how would you structure the financial management side of the business? Would you build it in Excel, use existing software, connect it to accounting systems, or recommend a different approach? I’m mainly looking for guidance from someone who has done this before and can help create a solid foundation for growth.

Hi there, I can help build a practical FP&A framework that gives you clear visibility into budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, profitability, contribution margin, management reporting, and growth planning without creating unnecessary complexity. My approach would be to first map your revenue, delivery, invoicing, collections, and supplier payment workflows, then design an integrated financial model that connects these drivers into dashboards for budget vs actuals, forecast tracking, cash runway, margin analysis, and board level reporting. Depending on your current systems and scale, I would recommend either a robust Excel/Google Sheets solution, a connected model linked to your accounting platform, or a phased approach that evolves as the business grows. I have experience structuring financial planning processes for growing businesses and can advise on the right balance between spreadsheets, automation, and software tools. The deliverable will be a scalable financial management foundation with clear reporting, actionable KPIs, 30/60/90 day cash forecasting, and decision making insights. I will also provide guidance on leveraging AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude to streamline analysis, reporting, and forecasting while maintaining reliable financial controls.

The fact that you're separating "sold vs. delivered vs. invoiced vs. paid" tells me you're dealing with a revenue recognition gap that most off-the-shelf tools handle poorly. That's exactly where a well-structured Google Sheets or Excel model wins. My approach: I'd build a single source of truth with interconnected modules — revenue pipeline, cash flow (30/60/90), DB1 contribution margin, and a budget vs. actual dashboard. Each pulls from a simple data input layer your team can update weekly without finance expertise. On tooling: I'd start in Microsoft Excel before recommending software. Most growing companies overbuy on platforms and underbuild on process. Get the logic right first, then automate. I've built these models for SaaS, services, and product businesses at similar growth stages. What does your current data setup look like — are you working from an accounting system like Xero or QuickBooks, or mostly manual tracking?
