"it’s very relieving that there’s this big core area that I trust is being taken care of"
fractional Finance leader for agency founders that need to start running on real data instead of gut feeling and sleeping pills
"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 just 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.
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
“Mila owned everything in finance and set the foundation for our financial growth.”
While integrated at Break The Web, Mila owned everything in finance, assisting in our gross profit optimization and identifying and fixing leaks. That led to decreased delivery costs, and increased gross profit and gross margin in spite of smaller revenue. Her work helped set the foundation needed for our financial growth and her passion in finance was very clear from day 1.

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?
