How Finance OS™ gets installed—and stays disciplined

Actnow is not “advice when things break.” We run a repeatable operating standard for startup finance—so cash, close, and forecasting stay controlled as you scale.

 

Cash clarity • Close consistency • Forecast discipline • Governance

The Finance OS™ delivery model

Finance OS™ is Actnow’s proprietary methodology. It gives you a finance function that behaves like an operating system—standardized, measurable, and dependable.

Cash & Runway Control

Weekly visibility into burn, runway, and upcoming commitments—so founders don’t get surprised.

Close & Reporting Discipline

A consistent monthly close cadence with clean reporting—so decisions are based on reliable numbers.

Forecasting & Governance

A forward-looking model plus approval discipline—so spend and hiring stay intentional.

A simple engagement flow

We keep the process clear and lightweight for founders. You’ll always know what’s happening, what we need from you, and what’s ready to review.

 

 

Install the standard

We set up your cadence, templates, and controls so delivery doesn’t depend on memory or heroics.
 
 
 

Run the operating rhythm

We execute weekly and monthly routines reliably—cash, close, reporting, and exceptions.

Improve continuously

As your stage changes, we expand depth—without changing the operating standard.

 

The first 30 days

You’ll see structure quickly—without heavy disruption.

The operating rhythm

Finance OS™ runs on a predictable rhythm—so you don’t need to “think about finance” every day.

 

Operating Rythm

What it feels like to work with Actnow

We keep collaboration simple. You get clarity with minimal back-and-forth.

 

You will always have:

  • A clear owner accountable for outcomes

  • A single place to see questions, requests, and status

  • A clean “ready to review” signal (no premature drafts)

 

 

What we ask from you:

  • Timely responses to specific questions

  • Approvals on exceptions when needed

  • One internal point of contact for routing

 

 

How we prevent surprises:

  • No deliverable is treated as “done” without supporting evidence

  • Decisions are documented, not lost in chat

  • Work stays standardized even as scope scales
