John P.

I help venture-backed and bootstrapped startups build FP&A models, manage cash runway, and raise capital. I specialize in investor-grade financial models founders actually use to make decisions. I’m a senior finance and operations leader who works with startups and high-growth companies as a Fractional CFO. I focus on the financial work that directly impacts outcomes: cash runway visibility, FP&A clarity, and fundraising readiness. My models are built to support real decisions by founders, executives, and investors — not to sit unused in spreadsheets. I’ve supported companies across seed through growth stages, helping teams understand their numbers, plan scenarios, and communicate financials clearly to stakeholders. To date, I’ve helped companies raise $54M+ using models I built or rebuilt. 🔑 What I Actually Help With FP&A & Financial Modeling • 3-statement financial models • Cash flow & runway forecasting • Hiring, pricing, and burn scenarios • Board- and investor-ready outputs Fundraising Support • Pre-seed, seed, and growth-stage models • Investor Q&A prep • Sensitivity and scenario analysis • Model cleanup before diligence Fractional / Interim CFO Work • Financial infrastructure & reporting • Budgeting and forecasting cadence • KPI definition and tracking • Cross-functional decision support 🚩 Common Engagements Clients typically bring me in to: • Build or fix a fundraising model • Understand runway and burn tradeoffs • Prepare financials for investors or the board • Add senior finance leadership without a full-time CFO 🧠 How I Work I design decision-ready financial tools that match how leadership teams actually operate.
