Everything you need to follow along, rebuild each demo, and apply it to your own business.


Welcome

Most founders wear 30 hats. The CFO hat is the one that kills you if you wear it wrong.

Not because finance is hard. Because most founders either ignore it entirely — or outsource it to someone else and stop understanding it. Both are dangerous.

This masterclass is about changing that. Not by turning you into an accountant. But by giving you the tools, the prompts, and the confidence to own your numbers — in an afternoon.

Every build in today's session uses AI to do the heavy lifting. Your job is to know what questions to ask, where your data comes from, and how to read what comes back.


The Framework

Pillar Question it answers Build
Past What happened? Build 1 — Cash P&L
Present Where are we now? Build 2 — Weekly Dashboard
Future Where are we going? Build 3 — 13-Week Forecast
Bonus How does it all connect? Build 4 — 3-Statement Model

Three Principles of Startup Finance

These principles underpin everything in this masterclass. Keep them in mind as you work through each build.

01 Know your numbers (and where they came from)

Understand where they came from.

02 Build and understand it yourself
