Does this sound familiar?

  • Revenue is growing,
    but profit is unclear
  • Cash is running short
    for upcoming payments
  • Reports exist, but there's no clear
    picture of the business

From a question to a system

Financial consulting services

Financial management setup

When you need to build a system.

What you receive as an owner

  • A profit and loss statement (P&L), cash flow reporting and a management balance sheet. See profit, cash balances, inventory and liabilities within a consistent reporting framework.
  • A payment calendar. A plan of receipts and payments with a cash balance forecast, to assess whether upcoming obligations can be met.
  • A reporting procedure. Clear responsibilities, period-end deadlines and data checks.
How setup works

We define the questions your numbers need to answer. We review data sources, agree on the reports and establish how they will be prepared and checked.

The scope and completion criteria are agreed before the project starts.

Ongoing financial support

When you need regular financial management.

What you receive as an owner

  • Reporting on an agreed schedule. Up-to-date information on profit, expenses and cash flow.
  • A review of results and variances. What changed, why it changed and which decisions deserve attention.
  • An updated cash plan. Upcoming payments, potential shortfalls and possible actions.
  • Without an in-house finance team - we establish processes and prepare reports.
  • With your team - methodology, quality control and development.
How ongoing support works

We agree on the meeting schedule, reports and scope. We review actual results and upcoming payments, update plans and discuss possible decisions.

The format depends on business size and who already handles finance in the company.

Reports, frequency and engagement terms are agreed individually.

Tell me about your needs

Before you get in touch

What should I prepare?

For your first message, describe your business, the issue and whether management reports are available. We'll identify the reports needed after reviewing your request.

What will the consultation provide?

We'll review your question, discuss what the available data shows and consider next steps. Any system setup or ongoing support is scoped separately.

What determines the terms?

Your needs, business size, data quality, reporting requirements and team involvement. The consultation format, timing and fee are agreed before the meeting; project terms before work begins.

How should I share materials?

Start by describing the issue. We'll agree on the required documents, transfer method and handling of confidential information after clarifying your request.

Marketplace seller finance

Financial challenges you can bring to me as a marketplace seller.

Understand profit

Connect sales, cost of goods, marketplace deductions and expenses in management reports.

Reconcile settlements

Compare seller account data with payouts, investigate discrepancies and clarify accounting rules.

Plan purchasing

Assess receipt timing, supplier payments and working capital needs.

Discuss your marketplace business

Case studies

Two parts of one e-commerce project. Client data has been anonymised.

Reporting

A unified profit report

The challenge
Combine sales, marketplace deductions and expenses into a comparable profit report.
Work completed
Connected exports, cost data and the transaction register. Set up monthly P&L reporting by seller account and for the whole business, with detailed drill-downs and reconciliation checks.
The result
A working profit report with a consistent structure across periods, accounts and the whole business, traceable to source transactions.

Cash flow

Purchasing aligned with cash

The challenge
Assess how much purchasing the cash flow can support under specified financing conditions.
Work completed
Analysed the cash flow model, compared purchasing scenarios and supplier payment terms. Prepared a sensitivity review and conclusions for discussing the plan.
The result
Scenario comparison identified purchasing levels that create a cash shortfall and require additional financing. The assessment reflects the model's specified assumptions.

Thank you for your professionalism and prompt handling of the task. I particularly appreciated how accessible and competent the diagnostic report on the business and management accounting was: clear language, a structured presentation and specific recommendations. Thank you!

Alexey helped me understand several complex topics at once: taxes, banks and payments. His experience, attentiveness and real support came through. After the meeting, I knew what to do next. I recommend him as a reliable expert.

Training and due diligence

I wanted to learn due diligence, build a business plan and assess a project's investment appeal; previously it was all theoretical and disconnected. Alexey quickly organised the essentials: which reports are needed, how to check revenue, costs and risks, and how to connect P&L, cash flow and balance sheet. He explains in plain language with real examples from banking and business. Recommended for anyone who wants to move from words to numbers.
