About

Data and AI-driven financial rigor, applied by a financially trained innovation practitioner.

Finnov8 brings the same FP&A discipline used by large, multi-entity organizations to growing companies — with a data-driven core philosophy: every decision starts in the data, and every outcome gets tracked against data-driven KPIs.

From building your annual operating plan to modeling an acquisition, the goal is always the same: turn financial and operational data — with AI helping surface the hidden trends in sales, COGS, and ops — into clear, sequenced decisions that move EBITDA.

Why Work with Finnov8

The full FP&A function — without the overhead.

01

Data-driven by default

Every recommendation is backed by the numbers and monitored against data-driven KPIs. No opinions dressed up as strategy — decisions get made from the data, then tracked in the data.
02

AI-powered insights

AI is used to surface hidden trends and anomalies in sales, COGS, and operations data — pricing leakage, cost drift, and margin patterns that don’t show up in a standard variance report.
03

Cross-industry expertise

FP&A experience spanning manufacturing, distribution, technology, media, insurance, and automotive, plus fintech consulting across insurtech, BNPL, and blockchain-based solutions — across private and publicly listed organizations.
04

Full FP&A toolkit

From annual operating plans and long-range forecasts to three-statement models, M&A analysis, and capex governance frameworks.
05

Systems fluency

Hands-on experience with SAP BPC, Oracle Cloud/ePBCS, Hyperion/Essbase, Power BI, MicroStrategy, Prophix, and standard ERP environments.
06

EBITDA-first thinking

Every model, dashboard, and KPI is built to answer one question — how does this move the bottom line — and to keep tracking it after the decision is made.
Who This Is For

Built for two types of leaders.

CFOs & Finance Leadership
You need senior-level FP&A bandwidth — someone who can own a model, a planning cycle, or a business case end-to-end without hand-holding. Ideal for stretched finance teams that need extra capacity, specialized modeling skills, or an experienced set of hands during budget season, an M&A process, or a system implementation.
Business Owners & Founders
You need a financial partner who thinks like a CFO but doesn’t cost like one. Ideal if you’re making big calls — pricing, hiring, capital spend, fundraising — without a dedicated finance function to stress-test them first.
Common situations I help with
  • You're growing revenue but can't tell if — or why — EBITDA isn't keeping pace
  • You don't have visibility into which products, customers, or channels actually drive profit
  • You're preparing for a raise, a sale, or a major investment and need investor-ready numbers
  • Your budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning still live in disconnected spreadsheets
  • You're evaluating a capital investment, system implementation, or acquisition and need a real model to test it
  • You need senior financial judgment on a big decision, but not a full-time CFO salary

Let's talk about your numbers.

Free 30-minute consultation, no obligation. You’ll leave with at least one thing to look into either way.
