FINANCE LEADERSHIP
Clear numbers.
Confident decisions.

WHO WE SERVE
For founders who’ve outgrown spreadsheets and hope.
Early-stage SaaS companies and professional services firms, broadly under $5M in revenue. Founders who know the numbers matter and want someone senior in the seat — not a bookkeeper alone, and not a full-time executive yet.
You’re making real decisions blind.
Revenue is coming in, but there’s no forecast, runway number, or model you trust.
Your board or investors want more.
Reporting is ad hoc, inconsistent, or takes three days to pull together every quarter.
A transaction is on the horizon.
A raise, acquisition, or sale — and you need clean books and defensible metrics first.
A full-time CFO isn’t the answer yet.
You need the judgement of a seasoned finance leader, without the overhead.
WHAT WE DO
Finance Leadership, in practice.
Every engagement is built around the decisions you’re actually trying to make — not a fixed package of deliverables.
Financial planning & analysis
Budgets, forecasts, and models that leaders use to make decisions — not spreadsheets that live in a drawer.
Cash flow management
Clear visibility into runway, timing, and the levers that move cash. Know your number before your bank does.
Board & investor reporting
Reporting that builds confidence and tells the story behind the numbers. Your board deck in an afternoon, not a week.
Transaction readiness
Clean books, defensible metrics, and a diligence-ready company — whether you’re raising, selling, or just preparing.
HOW IT WORKS
Steady steps, built on a solid base.
01
Get the numbers right
Before anything strategic, the foundation gets clean — the books, the model, the source of truth. Everything else builds from here.
02
Build what you need
A forecast you'll use. Metrics that answer the right questions. Board materials that take an afternoon, not a week.
03
Stay in the seat
Ongoing Finance Leadership for the decisions that come up — not just the deliverables you knew you needed at the start.
ABOUT
A finance leader
who’s been in the seat.
Stanton Aydlett founded Cohort Finance Studio after nearly a decade as CFO of Nutrislice, a K–12 nutrition SaaS company, where he ran Finance, HR, RevOps, and Admin.
He built Cohort to bring that experience to founders and firm leaders who need senior judgement — not a bookkeeper, not a full-time executive, but something in between that moves the business.
