An accountant records what happened. A CFO looks ahead: how much cash will we have in thirteen weeks, can we afford to hire, what happens to margin if the biggest customer pays 30 days late. The retainer buys that forward view.
In practice the work is a monthly rhythm: close the books, review the MIS, update the cash forecast, compare actual with budget and agree two or three decisions with the founder. The CA is available between calls for specific questions.
Investors and lenders judge a company by how fast it can answer questions. A maintained data room with monthly accounts, tax filings, contracts and a projection model makes diligence a matter of days, not months.
We prepare the projection model, the MIS format investors expect and the lender's working-capital documentation, while legal documents and valuation remain with your lawyers and valuers. The model and the books always agree, which is what diligence teams check first.
