Strategic Finance for Tech Founders
Most early-stage finance problems aren't modeling problems. They're decision problems. Ellis Strategic Advisors helps Seed and Series A founders build the financial clarity their next decision depends on, from board-ready operating models to fundraise narratives that actually close rounds.
We work with a small number of clients each quarter. If your finance function is a monthly fire drill instead of a strategic advantage, let's talk.
Fundraise & Board Readiness
Operating models, board decks, and investor-ready financial narratives for founders preparing to raise or report. Built to hold up under VC and board scrutiny, delivered in three to six weeks.
Fractional Strategic Finance
Ongoing finance partnership for Seed to Series B founders without a full-time CFO. Forecasting, scenario planning, hiring models, and the financial decisions that come up between board meetings, handled by a senior operator instead of a junior hire.
Executive Decision Advisory
A high-touch sounding board for founders and finance leaders facing the calls that don't have an obvious answer. Pricing decisions, capital strategy, cost realignment, and the strategic questions that benefit from a sharper second mind in the room.
Start the Conversation
The best engagements start with a clear question. Share what you're navigating, whether it's a fundraise, a board meeting, or a strategic decision you want a sharper second mind on, and we'll respond personally with thoughts on whether we're the right fit and what an engagement could look like.
