Finance Operations

We close the books in days, and that close drives everything downstream - actuals, variance, your model, management dashboards, all live off the same numbers. When the business moves, the analysis is already in front of you.

The books, run right and run on time.

Maya, our call on the two engineering hires: hold them to October. Runway stays above 22 months through the raise either way, and the model already reflects both versions.
