Cutting burn rate
Model every cost lever as an initiative, so you can trim burn and see exactly what each cut does to growth and runway.
The problem
When cash gets tight, the pressure is to cut. But a spreadsheet only shows the saving, not what the cut costs you in growth. So you either freeze everything and stall, or guess and hope you trimmed the right things.
How YourCFO handles it
Turn a paused hire, a trimmed budget, or a slower rollout into an initiative you can toggle on and off.
Every cut shows its runway saving next to the revenue it was driving, so you weigh the trade, not just the saving.
Keep the initiatives that grow you and trim the ones that do not, on evidence rather than panic.
you pause a marketing campaign to save cash
you see the runway you gain and the pipeline you give up, before you decide.
Extend runway without quietly killing the growth you will need on the other side.
