FP&A for companies with a board, sponsor, or lender

Clean numbers for your next board meeting.
And every one after that.

Most growing companies have a finance function that hasn’t kept pace with the business. Setpoint builds the reporting and forecasting layer, then runs it month after month, so the numbers always hold up.

Nothing improvised. Nothing missed.

Sound familiar?

You’re a week out from the next board update, and you already know how this goes.

Someone asked about gross margin, but the model wasn’t built to answer it.

The budget got approved. You’re still not sure you believe it.

That’s not a headcount problem.

Three steps. One clean monthly cycle.

Step 01

You send the inputs.

Each month, you send a defined set of source data: actuals, revenue detail, headcount updates, and the operating inputs needed to refresh the model.

Step 02

We refresh the model and reporting.

We integrate actuals, roll the revenue model forward, generate the variance analysis, and update the reporting package.

Step 03

We meet, review, and close.

One meeting. We walk through what changed, what matters, and what needs attention. Then the cycle is done until next month.

Your time commitment is the inputs. The rest happens on our end.

Defined deliverables.

A strong fit when you answer to someone outside the company (a board, a sponsor, a lender) and the FP&A infrastructure isn’t in place.

A strong fit when

Accounting is handled (cash, books), but no one owns reporting and forecasting

Reporting has to hold up under scrutiny

Wants a structured monthly review that goes beyond the numbers

Has finance support, but wants their time going toward the business, not the reporting

Not a fit

Already has someone owning the reporting and forecasting process

Needs day-to-day bookkeeping or transactional accounting

Needs a fractional CFO

You work with the person doing the work.

I created Setpoint to keep leadership teams from being blindsided by their own numbers. Get the numbers right, and it becomes an operating advantage. Setpoint keeps that advantage running. Same process, same person, every month, start to finish.
