Common SOWs

These are built as deliverable-based work packages with clear assumptions and change control.

1) Forecast Reset SOW — 10–30 days

  • Driver-based model (P&L + cash) with documented assumptions
  • 12–18 month rolling forecast cadence
  • Executive summary pack (what changed, why, and what to do next)

Use when: forecasts are unreliable, decisions are slow, or leaders don’t trust the numbers.

2) Headcount & OpEx Control SOW — 2–4 weeks

  • HC plan built off hiring triggers, productivity, and capacity
  • OpEx map and “zombie spend” review
  • Monthly run-rate, runway, and guardrails

Use when: spend is drifting, hiring is reactive, or runway is unclear.

3) Board Reporting Pack SOW — 2–3 weeks

  • Board-ready KPI set (with definitions and owners)
  • Variance and drivers narrative (no busywork charts)
  • Recurring monthly reporting template + close-to-report timeline

Use when: reporting is late, inconsistent, or not decision-grade.

Gov Contractors

Government work is profitable when the finance ops are tight: contract-level margin, clean invoicing backup, and cash visibility around slow-pay cycles.
