01 — Positioning

Finance should help you run the business — not just report what already happened.

Most growing companies have accounting information. Fewer have the financial structure required to manage forward.

  • 01Reliable management information
  • 02Forward-looking forecasts
  • 03Cash visibility
  • 04Financial controls
  • 05Decision frameworks
  • 06Scalable financial processes

Siuren connects financial information with management decisions.

03 — Decisions

The questions behind the numbers.

Executives don't wake up thinking about accounting. They think about decisions.

  • Headcount modeling against cash, contribution margin and the hiring plan, with a clear break-even by role.

  • Working capital diagnosis across collections, payment terms, billing timing and inventory or deferred revenue.

  • Profitability by product, client, channel and market, with cost allocation you can defend.

  • A monthly management pack with variance analysis and the two or three drivers that explain the gap.

  • A rolling 13-week cash forecast plus a 12-month view, tested against slower collections and slower growth.

  • Downside and base-case scenarios with defined trigger points and the decisions attached to each.

  • Capital allocation framework comparing return, payback and risk across the options in front of you.

10 — Insights

Notes on finance, decisions and growth.

Short, practical writing for people who have to act on the numbers.

All insights

Cash Flow

When revenue grows and cash doesn't

Growth consumes cash before it produces it. A short framework for finding where the money is sitting.

5 min

FP&A

Management reporting that actually gets read

If the pack takes an hour to interpret, it isn't a management report. A structure that survives contact with a board.

6 min

CFO Insights

When to bring in a Fractional CFO

The trigger is rarely revenue. It's the moment financial decisions start outpacing financial information.

4 min

Better decisions start with better financial visibility.
