TL;DR

Charlie CFO translates capital discipline into actionable frameworks for cash management, runway planning, unit economics, working capital optimization, and driver-based forecasting. It serves founders and small finance teams who need the rigor of a seasoned CFO but operate without dedicated financial staff. The skill focuses on the questions that matter most for self-funded companies: whether to hire, how to allocate capital, and which metrics signal real health.
