CLAVENA the key to clarity

When the finances run through you

Strategy and finance for owners and leaders

A finance director who thinks in strategy, not only in reports.

Three ways to work together

Our clients are small and mid-sized companies: the finances have already outgrown the spreadsheet but have not yet grown into a full-time finance director.

Most people start with the diagnostic: it shows what is really going on. After it you can see which format you need next.

Know which one fits? Write to us and we will start there. Not sure? Write anyway and we will work it out together. Write to us →

What it takes from your side

The strongest decisions come out of working together: you know the business from the inside, we bring the numbers and the view from outside. Here is what that takes from your side.

Your time

Regular sessions and the preparation for them: not a lot, but it has to be in the calendar.

A willingness to look at the numbers

Including the ones you would rather not see.

Your say in the decisions

We bring the picture, the options and a recommendation, and you choose.

Time

A diagnostic gives you the picture quickly, change comes step by step.
