For new and early-stage entrepreneurs ready to get their financials right from the start.
Building a business is hard enough without the added stress of not knowing where you stand financially. We work with you one-on-one to set up the financial infrastructure your business needs to operate with clarity and confidence — from your chart of accounts and bookkeeping system to your core financial reports and the key metrics that matter most for your stage of growth.
You'll walk away with a clean, organized financial foundation and the knowledge to manage it going forward.
What's Included:
• Chart of accounts and bookkeeping system setup
• Core financial report templates (P&L, cash flow, balance sheet)
• Key performance metrics identified and defined for your business
• One-on-one walkthrough so you understand your numbers
• Recommendations for ongoing management
Best for: New and early-stage entrepreneurs establishing their financial systems for the first time.

Ongoing monthly financial leadership — without the full-time CFO price tag.
Every business deserves a trusted financial partner in their corner — not just a set of reports at the end of the month. On a monthly basis, we analyze your financials, track your key performance indicators, surface the insights that matter, and deliver clear, actionable recommendations so you can lead with confidence.
Think of us as your part-time CFO — showing up every month with the expertise, perspective, and candor to help you make smarter decisions.
What's Included:
• Monthly financial analysis and performance review
• KPI tracking and dashboard reporting
• Strategic insights and clear recommendations
• Cash flow monitoring and forecasting
• Budget vs. actual variance analysis
• Available for board reporting and investor updates as needed
Best for: Growing businesses and purpose-driven organizations ready for proactive financial leadership and accountability.

Expert financial support for your most critical business decisions.
Some moments in a business require more than day-to-day financial management — they require deep analysis, a clear story, and the confidence to move forward boldly. We specialize in three high-stakes scenarios:
• Raising Capital — Investment-ready financial models, pitch narrative, and the metrics investors need to say yes.
• Selling Your Business — Clean, credible financials and the financial story that maximizes your value.
• Expanding Your Business — Rigorous growth analysis, financial projections, and scenario modeling to make your expansion decision with confidence.
You bring the vision. We build the financial case.
Best for: Entrepreneurs and business owners facing a major financial inflection point — fundraising, a business sale, or expansion planning.

"Working with John set me on a track to not only scaling my business, but fully understanding my business. His patience helped me find my own. His questions pushed me to think through issues I had never seen. Ultimately, he is the type of consultant who will add value to any business.
Beyond his vast general knowledge, John took the time to learn about the field to best ensure applicability of his advice and vision. His acumen pushed me to want to learn more.
Having worked with other consultants before, working with John felt more like a partnership, like there was another person truly invested in my business’ success." ~ Jesse with Tacorazon
"It is such an honor to say a few words about John and Claire Sebesta. I have worked with them for the past two years and they are true professionals. They are prompt and diligent in their service, extremely experienced and smart in their assessments and beyond fair in their fees. Their business skills and acumen would be a major plus for any business. I am also happy to say they are two of the nicest people I have ever met…they both receive A pluses in integrity and compassion. I would always want them on my team." ~ Norman with Alegría Village & Punta Mona
