Fractional CFO
Reporting that earns confidence from the people funding you
The problem
Owners send raw financials to lenders and boards, then spend the meeting defending the format instead of discussing the business.
Why it matters
Confidence affects terms. A credible package with forecasts and commentary changes how a lender prices risk and how a board evaluates management.
How to know if you have this
- Lender requests are met with raw statements
- Covenant calculations are done at the last minute
- There is no forward-looking view in the package
- Meetings are spent explaining numbers rather than deciding things
How Advisory Motion solves it
- 01Build a standard executive package: results, drivers, forecast, risks, decisions
- 02Track covenants continuously rather than at reporting deadlines
- 03Write the commentary that answers the obvious questions in advance
- 04Prepare the specific materials your lender or board actually values
Illustrative example
Better terms on the same numbers
A forecast-backed package and clean covenant tracking changed the tone of a renewal conversation — and the pricing that came out of it.
