For finance leaders

Every program has a payback number.

For CFOs and finance leaders at B2B software and fintech companies. We plan growth the way you'd fund it: a scoped start, a target and payback for every program, and a cost well below the team you'd otherwise hire.

The numbers on your desk

CAC payback

Months to recover the cost of every new customer.

Cost versus headcount

Senior growth capacity for less than one senior hire.

Burn and efficiency

Growth that improves the efficiency metrics, not just the top line.

What we hear from finance leaders

Growth is judged on efficiency now.

Marketing spend is one of the largest discretionary lines in the budget, and it's often the hardest to trace to revenue. That's the gap we close.

40%

of marketing leaders say the CFO is the executive most skeptical of marketing's value.

7.7%

of company revenue goes to marketing on average. At $30M in revenue, that's about $2.3M a year to account for.

How we keep spend accountable

Four rules we work by.

01

A scoped start.

The diagnostic takes three weeks. You keep the plan whether or not we do the work.

02

Payback before launch.

Every program gets a pipeline target, a cost and a payback estimate before a dollar goes out.

03

Scale what pays back.

Spend rises only on programs that clear their target. The rest get fixed or cut.

04

Numbers you can audit.

Built from your CRM, with definitions of pipeline, CAC and payback agreed with finance up front.

How we work with finance

Finance sees the numbers before anything launches.

We agree definitions with you first, then report against them. No new attribution model to take on faith, and no surprises at the end of the quarter.

CFO

Shared definitions of pipeline, CAC and payback, and a monthly read-out in your format.

CEO

A growth plan with costs and expected returns the board can approve.

CMO or CRO

Program-level targets they own, so budget requests come with the math attached.

RevOps

Clean stage definitions and a scorecard built from the CRM you already have.

The board

Efficiency metrics that move in the right direction as growth picks up.

The first 90 days

Spend you can trace by the end of the quarter.

Days 1–21

Diagnose

Funnel and channel economics rebuilt from the CRM, plus a constraint memo you keep whether or not we do the work.

Days 22–45

Focus

A budget plan with a target, cost and payback estimate for every program.

Days 46–90

Build

Programs live, the first results read out and a monthly report finance signs off on.

Questions

What finance leaders ask us.

What does it cost?

Less than one senior hire, and about 75% less than building a full in-house growth team in year one. Book a call and we'll walk you through what it would look like for your company.

How do you measure return?

Qualified pipeline and revenue by program, CAC and payback, using definitions agreed with finance before anything launches.

What happens if a program doesn't pay back?

We fix it or cut it. Every program has a target and a read-out date, so underperforming spend is visible early instead of at year end.

Is this a long retainer?

It starts with a three-week diagnostic, and you keep the plan whether or not we do the work. What comes next depends on what the diagnostic finds.
