At LYNX, we bridge the gap between finance and operations. Our integrated approach ensures that financial decisions are aligned with operational realities and strategic objectives

We understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to Finance and BizOps. At LYNX, we prioritize listening and learning about your company to ensure we’re a good fit and can provide genuine value.
Typically, we work best with companies that:

  • Are experiencing hypergrowth or have a unique business model.
  • Value proactive planning and integrated finance and operations.
  • Are seeking a trusted advisor for collaborative problem-solving.
  • Want a partner who goes beyond accounting and compliance to provide strategic financial guidance.

If this resonates with you, we encourage you to reach out. We’d love to explore how we can help you achieve your full potential.

We offer flexible engagement options tailored to your needs:

  • Retainer Basis: A one-stop shop for ongoing support and seamless integration into your business.
  • Project Basis: Focused expertise for specific challenges, such as consulting, business modeling, and implementation.
  • Extension for Finance Departments: We handle important but non-urgent initiatives, freeing your team to focus on daily priorities.

Our approach is always lean, nimble, and committed to excellence.

That’s a common challenge, especially for early-stage companies. Even without robust historical data, LYNX can help you build a strong foundation for data-driven decision-making.
Here’s how we can help:

  1. Establish efficient tracking: We’ll help you identify key metrics and implement systems to capture that data, striking the right balance between cost and benefit. We’ll guide you step-by-step, focusing on what matters most.
  2. Develop realistic forecasts: We can use industry benchmarks and your business plan to create financial models, even without historical data. We’ll help you understand the limitations of these models and continuously improve them as you gather more data.
  3. Build a data-driven culture: We’ll guide you in establishing the right systems, processes, and mindset to leverage data effectively, setting you up for success as you grow.

Essentially, we’ll help you build a data-driven culture from the ground up, even if you’re starting with limited information.
