Senior financial review
A complete model isn't necessarily an investor-ready model.
Most financial models don't fail because of formatting or formulas. Investors push deeper: are the assumptions reasonable, is the growth plan credible, and do the numbers reflect how the business will actually be built?

AI can inspect the model.
Finro evaluates whether it holds up.
Automated tools are useful for reviewing mechanics, stated inputs, and obvious inconsistencies. A senior review adds commercial context, operating judgment, and an investor perspective to the analysis.
Automated review
Useful for inspecting what is already in the spreadsheet.
Finro senior review
Founder-led
Tests the financial plan against the business behind it.
Model mechanics
Formulas, links, spreadsheet structure, and internal consistency.
Stated inputs
Reviews the assumptions, values, and relationships already entered into the model.
Diagnostics
Identifies unusual values, missing information, structural gaps, and potential inconsistencies.
Commercial assumptions
Tests whether growth, pricing, customer acquisition, retention, and revenue assumptions are reasonable for the company's stage and go-to-market strategy.
Operating logic
Assesses whether hiring, delivery capacity, costs, margins, and operating requirements develop realistically as the company scales.
Strategic alignment
Evaluates whether the financial model reflects how the founder intends to build, sell, finance, and scale the business.
Investor scrutiny
Identifies the assumptions, gaps, and inconsistencies most likely to trigger investor questions and prioritizes what should be addressed before fundraising.
The distinction
Automated review can identify issues in the model. Finro's role is to determine which issues matter, challenge the assumptions behind them, and assess whether the financial story can be defended.
Review emphasis
Judgment · Context · Prioritization
Financial work that can stand up to scrutiny.
Finro works with technology founders and investors on financial models, valuations, and due diligence where the assumptions need to be understood, challenged, and defended.

From client engagements
The value of a senior financial review is not simply finding issues. It is knowing which questions to ask, which assumptions to challenge, and what needs to be defensible.

Questions to answer before you book.
The engagement is deliberately narrow and clearly defined. Here are the practical details founders most often need to know before submitting a financial model for review.
01 What type of financial model can I submit?
You can submit an existing startup financial model built in Excel or Google Sheets. The model should already contain the projections and assumptions you want reviewed. This service assesses an existing model rather than building missing projections from scratch.
02 Can AI review my startup financial model?
Yes. AI tools can be useful for checking model mechanics, identifying inconsistencies, and analyzing stated assumptions. Finro's review adds senior financial judgment, commercial context, prioritization, and an investor perspective to assess whether the financial plan is credible and defensible.
03 What happens after I book and pay for the review?
After completing the €1,200 Stripe checkout, you are redirected directly to Finro's review intake form. There you submit your financial model, company context, fundraising plans, and any specific areas you want reviewed.
04 When does the five-business-day timeline begin?
The five-business-day review period begins once Finro has received both your completed intake form and the financial model to be reviewed. This ensures the review starts with the information and context required to assess the model properly.
05 Will Finro edit or rebuild my financial model?
No. The engagement is an independent assessment of your existing model. Finro does not edit formulas, rebuild the spreadsheet, or implement the recommended changes as part of the €1,200 review. Additional financial modeling work can be scoped separately if needed.
06 Does the review include a startup valuation?
The review can assess valuation assumptions and logic that already exist within your financial model. It does not include an independent company valuation, valuation analysis, or formal valuation report. Those services can be scoped separately.
07 What happens during the 45-minute debrief?
The 1:1 debrief with Lior focuses on the findings from the review: what should be addressed first, which assumptions may attract investor questions, and how important assumptions or financial decisions may need to be explained and defended.
08 What if I need additional financial modeling work?
If the review identifies areas that require rebuilding, additional projections, scenarios, valuation work, or other implementation support, Finro can scope that work separately. No additional work or fees begin automatically.
