Your Part-Time Analyst

FP&A for privately held companies

Think of Charlie as your new analyst.

Charlie shows up day one ready to go, with twenty years of experience behind him. Trained at Merrill Lynch, then deployed in organizations ranging from Fortune 500 to mom-and-pops, on matters from complex inventory analysis to buy- and sell-side transaction support. Then we train him on your business, and Charlie gets smarter about it with every conversation.

See how it works

A short walkthrough from Charlie Harrison.

How Charlie reads a general ledger, builds the statements and explains what changed.

Recorded earlier in the build. The features have evolved since, and we have kept teaching Charlie — the demo company shows where things stand today.

The service model

Two ways to work together.

One is a standing analyst you pay for monthly. The other is something we design and build around you. Both run on a Charlie trained on your company.

  • — Reporting tools, payment portals and financial-system integrations

The build solves today's need. Your company's Charlie keeps the logic and decisions behind it. See budgeting & forecasting and multi-entity consolidation.

Other services

Four things we are building out.

Each one starts from your own books and a short conversation. Read the page first, or bring the question straight to Charlie.

  • Budgeting & forecasting

    A budget that locks once approved, then reforecasts that show what changed since the last one and why.

The experience behind Charlie

Operating judgment, coupled with the model's full technical depth.

The model already brings financial analysis, mathematics and statistics. What it cannot find on its own is an operating professional's sense of which few measures matter, what a change actually means, and what acting late costs a company. Pairing the two is what makes the work useful to a business owner and the management team around the table.

  • Financial analysis

    Statements, ratios, unit economics, working capital, cash and covenant mechanics.

  • Mathematics and statistics

    Variance decomposition, distributions, regression and scenario ranges.

  • Operating judgment

    What is normal at this size, what is noise, and what a management team should act on.

Charlie learns only what has been reviewed. Nothing about his method changes from a conversation alone.
