Strategic Finance Operations
Modern finance systems, hands-on operations, and strategic clarity for growing companies in the messy middle of scale. We embed with your team so you can focus on building the business.
You've outgrown basic bookkeeping.
The spreadsheet that got you here won't carry you through the next stage.
The decisions are bigger now.
Hiring, pricing, runway, capital — each one moves the whole company.
The cost of being wrong is real.
Guesswork is affordable at $1M. It is not affordable at $15M.
Your systems weren't built for scale.
They were built for survival. Growth needs infrastructure underneath it.
Strategy, systems, and operations — the full finance function, built for where you’re going.
We bring clarity to where every dollar should go, and why. The CFO seat at your table — without the $350K+ salary.
Finance infrastructure your company grows into, not out of. Modern tools and AI-powered workflows that keep pace as complexity increases.
We run the finance function end-to-end so leadership stays focused on building. Not advisory from the sidelines — we're in the trenches.
A conversation about where your business is, where finance is creating friction, and what the right setup looks like. No pitch deck. No proposal template. Just clarity.
If finance is starting to outpace the people running it, you’re who we’re built for.
Outgrowing DIY bookkeeping but not ready to build a finance team.
Complex revenue models, regulatory reporting, and capital management.
Moving too quickly to build finance internally. They need operators now.
Building financial infrastructure for multi-entity or acquisition-led growth.
From seed-stage to $20M+ revenue
Across SaaS, fintech, and services

Manitou Advisory is run by operators who’ve built finance functions through growth, change, and complexity — at startups, through fundraises, inside bootstrapped companies, and across the messy middle of scaling a business.
We help founders bring clarity to cash, systems, and decision-making, and build the financial foundations that hold up as the business scales — using modern tools, AI-powered workflows, and the hands-on operating experience that only comes from having been in the seat.
