Summary:

Our client is a high-growth technology company seeking a hands-on interim expert to review and stabilize its existing 13-week cash flow forecast. The model is already in place but producing variances, and the client needs someone who has lived in 13-week forecasting to diagnose the root causes, assess the process and data inputs, and implement best practices. Reporting to the CFO, this engagement is hands-on in the near term, with the process ultimately transitioned to internal staff.

Why It's Worth Your Time
• Come in as the expert on a 13-week forecast leadership relies on, with direct visibility to the CFO.
• Diagnose and solve a real, defined problem — variances in an existing model — rather than start from a blank page.
• Shape the forecasting process and set the best-practice standard the internal team runs going forward.
• Clear engagement arc: stabilize the model hands-on now, transition ownership to staff over time.
• Exposure to cash burn, runway, and liquidity at a company navigating a period of transition.

What You'll Own
• Review the existing 13-week rolling cash flow forecast, including its inputs, data flows, and reporting cadence.
• Diagnose the root causes of forecast variances and back-test the model against actuals.
• Recommend and implement best practices to improve forecast accuracy and reliability.
• Strengthen the underlying data flows and establish a repeatable, well-documented process.
• Deliver clear, leadership-ready explanations of cash position, variance drivers, and risk.
• Document the process and transition ownership to internal staff for long-term operation.

Must-Haves
• Deep, hands-on experience owning and running a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast.
• Proven ability to diagnose forecast variances and separate timing issues from true cash changes.
• Experience assessing and improving a forecasting process, data inputs, and reporting cadence.
• Strong command of AR/AP timing, payroll, debt obligations, and operational cash drivers.
• Back-testing or model validation experience.
• Background in PE-backed, turnaround, restructuring, carve-out, or high-cash-burn environments.
• Ability to document processes and transition them to internal staff.

Nice to Have
• Technology or SaaS industry experience.
• Experience supporting a company separation, carve-out, or other major transition.
• Prior interim, fractional, or consulting engagements.
• CPA, MBA, or comparable finance credential.
• Familiarity with NetSuite or a comparable ERP.
