POST-ASSESSMENT

After your Baseline Business Assessment, we will provide a full report and specific action items for making progress towards your goals. The report may be all you need to go forth and grow with confidence, or it may be the starting point for a longer-term engagement. 

  • Sarah is a dream partner for scaling CPG brands. She is whip smart, tech-savvy, and a natural coach. As our strategic financial thought partner, she cleaned up our books and created a dynamic financial forecast, ensuring our vision is supported by financial rigor at all times. I highly recommend Sarah to any serious CPG startup looking to scale.

  • Before setting out to raise a million dollars in Silicon Valley, I wanted a financial partner to prepare me to confidently share our moonshot story. As an emerging business in the emerging metaverse, we didn’t have the traditional drivers that investors look for. Our previous advisor couldn’t wrap his head around that. Thanks to Sarah, we raised $1.1 million in an oversubscribed pre-seed round and are preparing for our next $4 million round. I am light years ahead of my peers in understanding my company’s finances. No hopes or guesses for us. I know exactly where Kai XR is headed.

  • Sarah has given us financial visibility into our business that helps us plan and prepare for the future. She understands our business, she knows where we are and where we want to go, and she is able to gracefully steer us in the right direction to meet our goals. 2020 was a tough year for Ladybird, but Sarah helped us manage our cash; encouraged us to pivot and launch our new line; then set goals, parameters, and budgets to see our way through.

  • I was looking for someone to help us get investment-ready by cleaning up our books, updating our financials, and keeping a pulse on cash flow. Understanding what investors look for and presenting data in a clear and compelling way is not part of my skill set. Sarah’s responsive and organized support has prepared me to confidently pitch knowing that for a business of our size and stage, Esker Beauty is operating like a well-oiled machine.

Working with Sarah is easy.

1. You book a complimentary listening call.

Tell me about your big vision and what’s holding you back financially and operationally. Let’s see if I can help. 

2. I look under the hood at your business financials.

Our services start with a Baseline Business Assessment so we can identify weaknesses and opportunities for growth.

3. You get a financial roadmap for driving your business toward success.

I’ll customize a plan for setting, tracking and reaching financial and operational milestones to keep your business humming along.

Without a financial roadmap, you may not get where you want to go.

You’ve got big goals, and sure, no one ever said it was going to be easy to achieve them. But if you’re operating without a solid understanding of your financials, it’s like hiking through a forest with no compass, blindfolded, in the dead of night. Avocado Ventures can provide the deep financial insights you need to avoid unnecessary roadblocks and pitfalls, as well as a guided path to move your business forward with clarity and confidence.
