"Sarah was hugely supportive in getting our cashflow forecast together"
"Sarah supported us at Views For Change building our cashflow forecast following our successful pre-seed investment round. This has helped us get a tight grip on our position, to manage the investment and look forward as we grow. The forecast included scenario planning which our founding team rely on monthly to test trajectories. The service was hugely supportive and bespoke to our needs and business model. We are looking forward to continuing our work with Newton's Theory ahead of our next investment round."
