Outcomes: your first 12–18 months
One model the company runs on. Driver-based, three-statement, by corridor and product. The CEO decides on it, the board trusts it, every function owner knows their number, and variance is reviewed monthly.
Pricing with rigor. Take rate, partner revenue share, and margin understood by corridor, product, and customer, and a pricing framework the business can grow on.
Runway you can defend any week. Cash, burn, and runway across Tensec’s global entities and currencies, with scenarios for when growth or FX lands differently than planned, and a clear view of how aggressively we can invest while staying well capitalized.
Diligence-ready at all times. Model, metrics, and data room maintained continuously. Enterprise customers, bank partners, and investors all run diligence on a fintech; each should take a week, not a quarter.
Equity with zero surprises. A clean cap table, 409As on schedule, grants and exercises processed accurately and board-approved on time, dilution modeled for every hiring plan.
Board-grade reporting. A monthly metrics package and quarterly board materials in one format that leadership and investors can read in five minutes.
