Strategic Finance Built Around the Decisions Ahead
Whether you need a trusted operating model, an ongoing strategic finance partner, or focused support on a high-stakes decision, GrowthFrame meets the business where it is.
Start here

Add as needed
Strategic Project Intensives
Scoped work on one defined problem — planning, pricing, working capital, reporting.
Choose the Blueprint that fits your stage
Both options build a clearer planning framework for the business. The difference is how deep we go into capital planning, fundraising readiness, and investor-facing work.
The Operating Blueprint
From $5,000
Build the financial operating system to power your growth
Best for: Founders that need better visibility into cash, margins, and growth before making their next major decision.
Questions we'll answer
- Can I afford to hire?
- Should we buy more inventory?
- Where is cash really going?
- What channels are most profitable?
- When will we need capital?
What you'll walk away with
- A custom 3-year driver-based financial model built around your business
- A rolling 13-week cash forecast so you know what’s coming before it happens
- Clear visibility into your margins by product and channel
- A dashboard of the KPIs that actually drive your business
- A practical growth plan with Base + Downside scenarios
- A prioritized 90-day action plan focused on the biggest financial opportunities
- Two strategy sessions (kickoff + executive readout)
- 30 days of implementation support
The Capital Blueprint
From $10,000
Prepare your business to confidently raise capital
Best for: Founders preparing for fundraising, lender financing, or major strategic investments.
Questions we'll answer
- How much should you raise?
- When should you raise?
- What milestones should that capital fund?
- Will investors believe this model?
- Can you avoid raising altogether?
What you'll walk away with
- An investor-ready financial model
- Capital planning (how much, when, and why)
- Working capital strategy for inventory, AR, AP, and cash runway
- Multiple financing scenarios so you understand the trade-offs before raising
- Investor or board presentation deck
- Capital story & investor Q&A preparation
- One additional strategy session
- 60 days of follow-up support
Pricing assumes clean, reconciled source data, one primary operating company, and a standard level of channel, product, and reporting complexity. Data cleanup, multiple entities, extensive historical reconstruction, or unusually complex requirements may affect scope and pricing.

Who the Blueprint is built for
The work lands hardest for brands at a particular stage, with real decisions in front of them.
Good fit if
- You are a consumer brand generating meaningful revenue (typically $1M–$10M+)
- You sell through multiple channels such as wholesale, retail, DTC, Amazon, or distributors
- Inventory, trade spend, fees, or payment terms are putting pressure on cash
- You have a forecast, but you don't fully trust it — or it isn't driving decisions
- You are preparing to make consequential decisions on hiring, pricing, inventory, expansion, or capital
Not a fit if
- You are pre-revenue or still validating the product
- You primarily need bookkeeping, tax preparation, or historical cleanup
- You are not ready to share financial information or engage directly in the process
- You want a high-level strategy report without building a working financial model and action plan
Ongoing Strategic Advisory
Stay ahead of cash, growth, and strategic decisions with ongoing finance leadership tailored to your business.
Strategic Finance Advisory
From $5,000 / month
Best for: Companies that have the financial foundation in place and want senior judgment on the decisions ahead.
- Monthly forecast & cash flow review
- KPI & financial performance review
- Strategic decision support & scenario analysis
- Quarterly planning & model refresh
- Executive strategy sessions
- Async access for time-sensitive decisions within the agreed cadence
Not included: Weekly leadership meetings, board or lender reporting, fundraising execution, management of accounting or finance staff, or day-to-day finance ownership.
Fractional CFO
Typically starts at $10,000 / month
Best for: Companies that need an embedded finance leader driving planning, reporting, and execution.
- Weekly leadership team participation
- Ownership of forecasting & financial planning
- Board, lender, & investor reporting
- Coordination of your bookkeeper, controller, & CPA
- Capital planning & fundraising support
- Executive finance leadership across the business
Final scope is set after the Blueprint or an initial financial review, based on complexity, cadence, and level of involvement.

Pricing, Margin & Channel Economics
Evaluate product, customer, channel, promotion, and trade-spend economics to improve profitable growth.
Working Capital & Inventory Strategy

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from my bookkeeper or accountant?
Your bookkeeper records what already happened and your accountant files it. Neither is built to tell you what to do next. GrowthFrame works forward — building the model, the forecast, and the decision framework that tell you where the business is heading and which levers to pull. We work alongside your existing bookkeeper and CPA, not instead of them.
I already have a forecast. Why do I need this?
Most founders have something. The question is whether it models your actual business drivers, shows the trade-offs between scenarios, connects to cash, and drives decisions. If you're still making big calls on gut feel, the forecast isn't doing its job.
Do you work with pre-revenue businesses?
Usually not. The work is most valuable once there's real transaction history to model — typically $1M+ in revenue, with actual channel and margin data to analyze. If you're earlier than that, say so on the call and I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it yet.
What tools do you work in?
Excel or Google Sheets for the model, connected to whatever you already use — QuickBooks, Xero, Shopify, Amazon, your 3PL. The deliverable is built to be maintained by your team, not to create a dependency on me.
What do you need from me to get started?
Financials (P&L and balance sheet), sales data by channel, customer, or SKU, inventory and AP/AR snapshots, and payroll or headcount detail. We map it all out on the kickoff call, and timelines start from that handoff.
Can this lead into ongoing work?
Often, but there's no obligation. The Blueprint is designed to stand on its own — you walk away with a complete, usable model either way. If it makes sense to continue, ongoing advisory picks up from there.
