What does this skill do?

The CFO Advisor skill is an open-source skill that gives an agent strategic financial frameworks for startup CFOs and finance leaders — focused on decisions, not just analysis.

It covers six areas: financial modeling, unit economics, burn and runway, fundraising, board financials, and cash management. It works from cohort-based metrics and scenario planning rather than blended averages.

It includes analysis tools for burn rate, unit economics, and fundraising modeling, and surfaces red flags like a rising burn multiple or short runway before they become crises.

  • Builds P&L, three-statement models, and headcount costing

  • Analyzes cohort LTV, channel CAC, and payback period

  • Plans base, bull, and bear runway scenarios with decision triggers

  • Prepares board-ready financial sections and fundraising packages

How it works

1

Frame the financial question

The agent identifies the decision — runway, unit economics, fundraising, or board reporting — and the relevant numbers behind it.

2

Model the numbers

It builds the financial model or scenario, using cohort-based unit economics and base/bull/bear runway planning with decision triggers.

3

Check the metrics

It tracks efficiency, growth, and economics metrics such as burn multiple, Rule of 40, NDR, and LTV:CAC against target ranges.

4

Package for decisions

It produces runway models, fundraising-readiness packages, unit-economics analysis, and board-ready financial sections, with confidence scoring.

Best use cases for this skill

  • Runway planning: Model base, bull, and bear scenarios with cost-cutting triggers.

  • Unit economics: Analyze cohort LTV, channel CAC, and payback period.

  • Fundraising: Assess readiness and model valuation and dilution.

  • Board reporting: Prepare board-ready financial sections and narratives.
