Financial planning & analysis
Looking ahead with data instead of intuition. Forecasts, scenarios, and analyses that show you exactly where you’re headed and what truly delivers a return.
Know where you stand and where you are headed.
A plan that is made once a year and then disappears into a drawer won't move you forward. We build forecasts for revenue, ARR, margin, and EBIT that evolve monthly in line with reality. With scenarios, you can see what happens if a major client leaves, if you hire faster than planned, or if growth accelerates beyond expectations. This allows you to make decisions with the consequences already in view.
Cash determines your pace, not your ambition.
A profitable company can still run into liquidity issues. With cash flow and working capital planning, you can see months ahead when things will get tight and where there is room to maneuver. For growth companies, we closely monitor burn rate and runway, so you know in advance when a funding round or adjustment is necessary, rather than waiting until it becomes an emergency.
Know what truly pays off.
Not every client, project, or investment contributes equally. We map out revenue and cost streams to reveal where the real margin lies, using methods like full costing and activity-based costing where they add value. For investment decisions, we run scenarios on returns so that your resources go toward what actually moves you forward.
What we do for you
Budgeting & forecasting: Realistic budgets and rolling forecasts for revenue, ARR, margin, and EBIT, aligned with your business goals.
Scenario planning: We build best-case, base-case, and worst-case scenarios so you are prepared for more than one future.
Cash flow & working capital planning: Projections that make your liquidity visible far enough in advance, including the impact of payment terms and inventory.
Burn rate & runway: Strict monitoring of your burn rate and how much runway you have left, with timely signals when adjustments are needed.
Profitability analysis of clients or projects: Insight into where your margin actually comes from, serving as a basis for decisions on pricing, segmentation, and resource allocation.
Investment & return analysis: Using NPV, IRR, and payback periods, we evaluate investments objectively and comparably.
Sensitivity analysis: We test the robustness of your plans when assumptions regarding prices, volumes, or interest rates change.
Strategic financial insight without the cost of a full-time CFO
Not every fast-growing company needs a full-time CFO right away, but most do need strategic financial support at the moments that matter. With CFO-as-a-Service, you get access to experienced CFOs and controllers who integrate into your business either temporarily or continuously.
They don’t just manage your numbers — they translate them into insights and actions for your management and shareholders. This includes cash flow management, forecasting, budgeting, reporting, cost calculations, funding rounds, mergers, and risk management. You can count on flexible support by the day, week, or month, either on-site or remote, and always backed by the full Unikoo team for added strength and specialized expertise where needed.
We offer top-level financial expertise without the need to hire a full-time CFO.
Why our approach works
For startups, scale-ups and SMEs:
Cost-efficient growth: Save significantly compared to a full-time CFO. You only pay for the time and services you need, with no fixed salary or additional overhead.
Tailored flexibility: You can scale up or down based on your needs. This makes it ideal for rapid growth phases, changing market conditions or temporary peaks in workload.
Access to top-tier expertise: You get a CFO with years of experience without having to hire one yourself. For SMEs and scale-ups, this provides access to high-level financial expertise that used to be out of reach.
Strategic thinking and execution: Our CFOs provide more than just advice. They support critical decisions and help turn plans into real results.
Smarter decisions, sharper insights: You can rely on accurate forecasts and thorough financial analysis. This gives you a constant understanding of how your business is performing and where to make adjustments.
