Can we see the actual numbers from these engagements?

The figures shared are real and verified with client consent. Where a client has requested anonymity, we describe the structure without naming the company. If you want to speak with a reference client in a similar situation, ask on the consult call we can usually arrange it.

Do you work with pre-revenue startups?

Yes, though the case studies above skew toward growth-stage companies. Pre-revenue engagements are typically setup + compliance: incorporation, GST registration, XBRL readiness, and payroll from day one.

How long does it take to go from chaos to investor-ready books?

The D2C founder case went from backlog to first investor cheque in five months. In our experience, 90 days cleans the ledger; a further 30–60 days produces a board pack that can survive due diligence.
