"we get one new client a month... but profit's been flat for a long time"

fractional CFO for agency founders that need to start running on real data instead of gut feeling and sleeping pills

$Mila Di Bella, fractional CFO for agencies$

"when I hit seven figures, it all came crashing down. it was unmanageable for one person"

everything's on you, and it's getting overwhelming

you juggle sales calls, invoices, delivery... whatever's on fire that day
everything's sitting in your head because you don't have a system
it all lives in your head, because there's no system holding it up

work keeps rolling, you keep flying blind

there's money in the bank, so you tell yourself you're fine
your open a spreadsheet and your head starts to spin
you can't say which clients are actually profitable, or where hours are going

scope creeps in with your every quote

you lowballed it because it was supposed to be quick
then you kept saying yes, and going down the rabbit hole
now it's 2am the night before deadline, and asking yourself why

you don't need more time, you don't need another hire, you need to prioritize.

and for that, you need data

and that data already exists. it's buried in your email, in your project management tool, in your calendar and in the invoices you've been meaning to sort through all year.

capacity

profitability

processes

been there, did this:

I spent years working in agencies. from account management, to marketing, to people, to operations, to leadership
only when i took over finance, all the dots connected. i cleaned up the data, found where the money was leaking, and started fixing
we started pricing right. forecasting instead of guessing. knowing which clients to keep, which to let go. hiring out of need, not urgency

in only nine months

↓34%

delivery costs

↑25%

gross profit

↑15%

gross margin

what can the numbers help answer?

pricing & scope

can we afford to give this client a discount?
is it time to raise our prices, and by how much?
am i good to give this quote to this lead?

growth & hiring

can we afford to hire for this role right now?
is this an really an investment or just an expense?
which type of clients do we need to get more of?

planning & future

how long can we hold without landing a new client?
when are we going to hit our target profit?
when can we actually start planning an exit?

will i be able to help you?

yes, if...

you're $500k+ ARR and feeling the growing pains
you can accept that real growth starts with delegation
you're nervous to look at your numbers, but you know you have to
you want a financial exec, not just a bookkeeper

no, if...

you're pre-revenue or just getting started
you just want someone to do your books, nothing more
you're not ready to let go of micromanaging
you don't think that finance is very important to your business

how can we work together?
