How does it handle financial projections?

It builds comprehensive models with three scenarios—base, optimistic (+30%), and pessimistic (-30%)—using conservative assumptions to ensure your runway predictions survive real-world volatility.

Can it help with investor pitches?

Yes, it can prepare fundraising narratives, specific use-of-funds breakdowns, and milestone plans to show investors exactly how their capital will be used to reach the next raise.

What metrics does it track for unit economics?

It calculates blended and channel-specific CAC, LTV based on margin and lifetime, LTV:CAC ratios, payback periods, and net revenue retention benchmarked against industry peers.

Can Finance Lead replace my accountant?

No, Finance Lead is designed for high-level financial strategy, modeling, and operational planning. For tax filings, bookkeeping, and regulatory compliance, you should still consult a certified accountant.
