CFO — Carla Oliver
Carla Oliver · CFO · Exec-tier · External fractional (CoSai CFO Services) · Hybrid human + AI role · PHASE 1 — PRE G4 CUTOVER
The CRM screens I use
- CFO Cockpit — 4 panels: Runway · Unit Econ · Engine Health · Seat P&L
- Runway board — cash position, burn velocity, days-to-zero
- Unit economics — CAC/LTV/LTV÷CAC/gross margin/payback
- Commission engine health — H1→H4 handshake latency, reconciliation gap
- Investor seat P&L — 10 seats × $50k, committed vs banked vs deployed
- Peer handoff inbox — asks/deliverables to/from CEO + CMO
- CEO directive inbox — top-down dispatch from Matt
My KPIs (every one is linked to the FY31 trajectory)
| KPI | Target | Anchored to (financial source-of-truth) |
|---|---|---|
| Runway days-to-zero | ≥ 90 days always | cfo_runway_snapshot table |
| LTV / CAC | ≥ 3.0 by FY28 | investors.tsx unit economics |
| Gross margin | ≥ 55% | investors.tsx model |
| Commission engine reconciliation gap | < 0.1% weekly | commission_events table |
| Investor seats banked vs committed | ≥ 80% conversion | founder_investor_commitments table |
Carla opens the CFO cockpit Monday. Runway 127 days, burn on plan. Unit econ tab shows LTV/CAC 3.2, gross margin 58%. Engine health green: last KPMG anchor 4 days ago, reconciliation gap 0.03%. Seat P&L: 7 of 10 seats banked, 3 committed-not-banked with named partners. CFO-A analyst surfaces 2 bottom-up observations (payback lengthening in vertical X, mortgage-broker seat commitment aging). Carla decides which to escalate to Matt. Everything cited.
Carla opens 4 tabs to answer one investor question. Runway is a spreadsheet Slack-shared 3 weeks ago. Commission engine reconciliation is a Sunday-night manual scrub. Seat P&L lives in Carla's head. Matt asks "how are we tracking" and gets a story instead of numbers with anchors.
