Our approach

Useful financial tools.
A clearer management conversation.

Our CFO and financial advisory service builds on Mikel Consulting’s experience preparing financial models, business plans and funding materials for owners, lenders and investors.

For ongoing engagements, the focus is a consistent planning and review process: reliable information, current forecasts and a clear discussion of the choices facing management.

Make the assumptions clear

Understand the inputs that drive the forecast, where uncertainty remains and how a change affects the outcome.

Bring the important questions forward

Use reports to identify the performance changes and financial commitments that need a management discussion.

Show the trade-offs

Compare scenarios so hiring, pricing, expansion and funding decisions can be evaluated before capital is committed.

Build a consistent working rhythm

Agree on the scope, responsibilities and review cadence, then keep the financial outlook connected to current priorities.

Connected to your finance team

We work alongside your bookkeeper, accountant or internal team to connect the underlying records with forward-looking analysis.

03 / PRACTICAL TOOLS

Models, budgets and reporting tools make the key inputs, assumptions and outputs accessible to management.
