The Clarity ladder · The front door
Get the truth about your business in one Clarity Sprint™.
One focused 30-day engagement. We find what is actually happening in your numbers, the one or two that matter, and exactly what to do next.
Who this is for
- You run a founder-led company doing $2M to $25M in revenue.
- Profitable on paper, tight in the bank, and nobody can tell you why.
- You have a bookkeeper, a CPA, maybe a controller. You still can’t get a straight answer to "can we afford this hire?"
- You want the truth and the next move, not another report.
What we do
We get into your real numbers and read them the way an operator reads them. Not a template, not a dashboard: a diagnosis. We work with your books in whatever state they are in; no cleanup project required first.
Most accountants tell you what happened. We tell you what to do. The Sprint exists to find the one lever that changes your trajectory and to hand you the move.
Your effort is minimal by design. You send what you already have, in whatever state it is in, and show up to hear the truth. We do the rest. Least input, maximum output.
What you leave with
The Hero Finding
The one number you are getting wrong and what it is actually costing you. A recent client believed his gross margin was 34%. It was 17%, a gap worth over $1M a year in profit.
The CFO-Level Read
A read on your business from an operator who has owned and run companies from $1M to $40M, not a junior analyst running a checklist.
The One-Page Decision Report
Your Clarity Score™, your Cash Shot Clock™, the two numbers that actually drive your business, and the next move. On 1 page. Something you will actually use on Monday.
The 30/60/90 Day Action Plan
The sequenced moves to fix what we found, ordered so you do not spook clients or run out of runway.
The Wrong-Lever Safeguard
We pressure-test the advice you are already acting on. If "cut costs" is the wrong lever, you will know before you spend a year pulling it.
The guarantee
If you don't walk away with total clarity on what's wrong and exactly what to do about it, the Sprint is free.
What clients say
I needed my financial information to be right, simple, and actionable. Michael and my Ultra CFO team help me to get underneath and in-between the normal financial metrics that I look at so I can make better decisions, see around corners, and make sure my business is on track to where it needs to be.
Where this goes next
Most Sprints surface the case for installing a system that keeps telling you the truth. That is Clarity Build™.
Common questions
I already have a CPA, a bookkeeper, a controller. Why is this different?
We are not here to replace good people. Your CPA files taxes and records history. We turn their work into decisions. It is a different job, one your current team was never built to do.
Are we big enough for this?
You may not need a $250K full-time executive. That is exactly why Ultra CFO™ exists: CFO-level judgment without the CFO salary. The bigger you get, the more a blind spot costs; a few points of margin you cannot see is six figures at your size.
How do I know $4,700 is worth it?
It is the cost of one decision you are currently getting wrong. One wrong hire is $150K. A year of underpricing is often more. The Sprint usually pays for itself in the first decision you stop guessing on, and the guarantee covers the rest.
My books are messy. Do I need a cleanup first?
No. We work with whatever state your books are in. If the books themselves are the choke point, the Sprint will say so, plainly.
Can someone outside my industry read my business?
An operator who has read 1,000+ businesses can find the broken number in yours. The patterns repeat; the lever is specific, and finding it is the job.
