About

Why founders bring me in.

Daniel Eardley

My path into finance started in technical accounting and reporting, where the discipline of getting the numbers exactly right lives. Over 11 years that grew into strategic finance: partnering with product, ops, and exec teams to turn financial data into the OKRs a business actually runs on.

That combination is what clients get. Someone who can build the model or the dashboard themselves, not just commission one, then use it to help you make the call.

Based in Cape Town, working with clients across the US, UK, and South Africa remotely, with meaningful time-zone overlap for [morning / afternoon] hours.

How it works

From first call to first deliverable.

01
Intro call
30 minutes, no charge. We work out whether this is a fit and what the priority problem actually is.
02
Scoped proposal
A fixed retainer or project scope, priced against the outcome, not the hours.
03
First 30 days
A defined first deliverable, whether that's a model, a dashboard, or a diagnostic, so you see the value before it's a long-term commitment.
