What Ibex delivers
Scenario modeling
Three versions of your future, built and maintained: what happens if everything goes right, what happens if it doesn't, and how long you survive either way, so you stop doing runway math in your head at 11pm and actually know the answer.
Board reporting
Accurate reporting that reaches your board on time, every time, with variance explained and trends surfaced so nothing catches you off guard in a board meeting.
Financial dashboards
Real-time visibility into the metrics that actually drive outcomes for the whole team, built into a dashboard anyone can read without scheduling a call with you to ask what the numbers mean.
KPI tracking and analysis
The 3-4 KPIs that actually drive your forecast, identified, tracked, and flagged when revenue dips or burn accelerates so you can move before a trend becomes a crisis.
HR planning
Hiring decisions with the financial consequences already mapped so there’s no more 2am panic math after sending an offer letter, and no more shower calculations wondering if you just committed a $180k mistake.
Strategic advisory
Monthly reports that explain what happened, why it happened, and what it means for the next 90 days, written so your team actually reads them and your board actually acts on them

Companies making decisions with real numbers.
The numbers you need to actually run your company
Ongoing forecasting so you always know your runway, board decks so you walk in prepared, and fundraising support so that due diligence is a checklist and not a fire drill.
01 Ongoing FP&A
Scenario planning built on numbers you can trust.
A live forecast tied to verified books, updated quarterly. So when your cofounder asks "what happens if we don't close this round until September", you have an answer, not an all-nighter.
02 Board & Investor Reporting
The reporting your board expects, done right.
Board decks, variance analysis, and quarterly updates: prepared on your board's cadence, built from verified financials, so your co-founder stops Slacking you "what are we saying about revenue" the morning of the meeting.
03 Fundraising Support
Diligence-ready before the term sheet shows up.
Model prep, data room support, and investor-ready financials all built before you need them, so when diligence requests start flying in you're handing over a clean folder instead of scrambling to explain why half your 2023 transactions are still uncategorized.

Don't take our word for it
We'd rather you hear it from the founders who have been in the trenches with us.
"We started working with Ibex Consulting right after our pre-seed round. They professionalized our reporting and spending, providing the forecasting essential for our follow-on raises. Their sharp, reliable team is truly excellent."
William Layden
CEO, Rune Energy
“We've been working with the Ibex team for over 2 years now and are strong pomoters. They truly brought our accounting, CFO and forecasting work to the next level and go far beyond that: including support on board management, fundraising strategy, investor diligence and so much more- 100% highly recommend!”
Karen Baert
CEO, Ammobia
The Ibex team is fast, responsive, and great at modeling different financial scenarios based on what we want to see and pressure test. They also have a knack for telling you what you need to hear

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from hiring a CFO?
A full-time CFO costs $200K-400k+ before benefits. Ibex gives you the CFO, controller, and accountant fractionally, you pay for what you actually need.
We're not fundraising yet. Do we need Strategic Finance?
Need is a strong word. Deciding how much to raise, when, and for what use of funds is always a worthwhile discussion long before the process
Where do we even start with government funding?
First, talk to us and let's decide if it's worth your time. It's a great fit for some and not for others. If it is, we can hold your hand the whole way, from searching for soliciations to closing out an award.
Can you handle accounting and grants at the same time?
Yes that's kinda our thing. Many folks can help you write grants. Few have ever run a project they one. Very few people know how to do the accounting right, period. You're talking to a very specialized group that can do both.
Can you just do our forecast if someone else does the accounting?
If they are a competent accountant and infrastructure is built correctly. So far in our experience that is a low single digit percentage, but certainly a non-zero chance.
Can you just update our excel model?
99% chance this is a no. We use Fathom HQ for 3-statement modeling. We can do excel modeling but it's generally not cost effective compared to Fathom. AI isn't there yet, but we are monitoring the situation.
Can we do a forecast now and worry about fixing our books later?
Not with us. It all starts with clean data. Garbage in, garbage out. Forecast should be based on historic actuals, not what you want to see.
