I bridge the gap between complex physical operations—like warehousing and manufacturing—and high-level strategic decision-making. Most CFOs offer advice based on intuition or historical reports. I provide something more powerful: Predictive Intelligence. By architecting robust financial modeling systems, I turn your operational data into predictable, actionable intelligence that optimizes working capital, protects margins, and secures the capital you need to scale. I don't just tell you what happened last month; I show you through custom "what-if" models what will happen if you change your inventory levels, pricing, or manufacturing lead times. 💎 Core Expertise Fractional CFO | Strategic Finance & Scaling | Financial Intelligence Systems | Working Capital & Inventory Optimization | Decision Support & Modeling 🎯 How I Help 1️⃣ Strategic Growth & Capital Management I provide the financial clarity required to manage rapid scaling, from securing capital to stabilizing margins. I help you move from reactive management to proactive, investor-ready leadership. 2️⃣ Decision Intelligence & Systems (The "Engine") I build the "Engine of Truth" by bridging the gap between your operations and your finance function. I implement systems that align your sales pipeline, warehouse logistics, and financial projections into a single, reliable source of data. 3️⃣ Operational Cash Flow & Inventory Optimization I identify and unlock "trapped" cash within your supply chain and inventory cycles to significantly improve your liquidity position and protect your margins. 📈 Proven Impact 💲 Strategic Scaling & Capital Access ▪️Scaling Success: Architected the financial systems that supported revenue scaling from R11m to R47m, while stabilizing margins at a consistent ~48%. ▪️Capital Injection: Secured ZAR 10M in additional financing and reduced annual debt repayments by R8.5M through advanced multi-dimensional forecasting. ⚡ Systems & Predictive Modeling ▪️Pipeline Visibility: Developed parameterized "pipeline-to-cash" models that bridged the gap between CRM data and financial projections, enabling accurate 3/6/12-month forecasting. ▪️Tech Integration: Expert at architecting ecosystems that connect ERP/MRP data (e.g., MRPeasy, Lightspeed) with financial platforms (Xero, Fathom) for real-time decision support. 📦 Working Capital & Inventory Efficiency ▪️Inventory Optimization: Redesigned inventory provision methodology, reducing provisions by 46% while maintaining adequate stock levels. ▪️Cash Recovery: Identified and recovered R265,000 in trapped cash through rigorous audit of bank errors and interest overcharges. 🛠 Tech Stack & Ecosystems ▪️Finance: Xero | Fathom | Advanced Multi-dimensional Modeling (FCF, EBITDA, IS, BS, CF) Operations/ERP: MRPeasy (MRP) | Lightspeed/Vend | ERP & BI Integration ▪️Decision Support: Custom Dashboarding | Pipeline-to-Cash Forecasting | Scenario Modeling 💬 What Clients Say 📌 “I've really enjoyed working with Rocco [and] his expertise in integrating systems & software to unlock powerful data, analytics and forecasting.
