Case Studies
E-Commerce · Fractional CFO
Situation: A direct-to-consumer e-commerce company was growing revenue rapidly but watching margins erode. No CFO, no rolling forecast, no visibility into product-level profitability. Cash flow was unpredictable despite strong top-line growth.
What we did:
Result: 400+ basis points of gross margin recovered within 6 months. Cash conversion cycle improved by 18 days. CEO gained real-time visibility into business performance for the first time.
SaaS · Investor Readiness
Situation: A B2B SaaS company preparing for Series A had no financial model, inconsistent SaaS metrics, and board decks that were backward-looking. Investors were asking questions the finance function couldn't answer.
What we did:
Result: Series A closed at $18M pre-money valuation. Lead investor cited the quality of financial materials as a key differentiator. Board reporting now runs on a repeatable monthly cadence.
Automotive · FP&A Transformation
Situation: A global automotive manufacturer ran its annual planning across 200+ disconnected Excel models. The budgeting cycle took 6-8 weeks, consumed hundreds of FTE hours, and produced numbers that were outdated before they were finalized.
What we did:
Result: Planning cycle reduced from 6 weeks to under 10 days. CFO team shifted from 70% data consolidation to 70% analysis and business partnering. Rolling forecasts adopted across all business units.
Chemicals · Supply Chain Finance
Situation: A specialty chemicals company couldn't connect production planning to financial forecasts. OTIF (On-Time In-Full) delivery was declining, inventory was bloated, and the finance team was always a quarter behind operations.
What we did:
Result: Finance moved from quarterly lag to daily refresh. OTIF improved significantly. Inventory carrying costs reduced. Planning became a daily operational tool, not a quarterly exercise.
Conglomerate · EPM Implementation
Situation: A $5B+ Middle Eastern conglomerate with 30+ business units across retail, real estate, automotive, and F&B had no unified planning platform. Each BU ran its own spreadsheets, with group consolidation taking weeks of manual effort.
What we did:
Result: Group consolidation reduced from weeks to hours. CEO and CFO gained portfolio-level visibility for the first time. Capital allocation decisions now backed by scenario analysis across all business units.
Manufacturing · Capex & Costing
Situation: A major tire manufacturer had no WBS-level (Work Breakdown Structure) cost tracking for capital projects. Conversion cost allocation was opaque, and capital investment decisions were made with incomplete data.
What we did:
Result: $50M in potential capex misallocation identified and prevented. Capital project visibility improved from quarterly summaries to real-time tracking. Investment committee now makes decisions with full cost transparency.
Real Estate · Cash Flow Management
Situation: A US-based real estate portfolio operator had no rolling cash forecast. Covenant compliance was tracked reactively, working capital was poorly managed, and the CFO was constantly firefighting cash surprises.
What we did:
Result: Zero covenant breaches since implementation. Cash visibility extended from 2 weeks to 52 weeks. Property-level performance tracking enabled data-driven portfolio decisions.
Reporting · Automation
Situation: A large enterprise in the Middle East spent days each month compiling management reports from multiple ERPs. Reports were frequently late, contained errors, and different departments presented conflicting numbers.
What we did:
Result: 60% reduction in monthly reporting effort. Reports delivered 3 days earlier each month. Zero version-of-truth conflicts. Finance team redirected from compilation to analysis.
