founders assume the retainer is buying output. posts, threads, KOL slots, a report at the end of the month. what you're actually paying for breaks down closer to this: > strategy and positioning work that happens before anything gets published >actual content production and campaign execution >relationship access. KOLs, narrative outlets, listing conversations. the part you can't build in 90 days >coordination overhead. calls, revisions, the back-and-forth of getting a founder to approve things the reason agencies don't publish this is that once you see the split, you can ask whether you're paying for the part that's actually scarce. ask your agency for that breakdown and watch what happens.

10 Finance Claude Prompts I run every quarter across our portfolio: Save this. Most founders avoid their numbers until they can't. 1/ P&L Review "You're a fractional CFO with 20+ years of experience.

Tell me what's healthy, what's concerning, and the 3 line items I should investigate before next month closes." 2/ Cash Flow Forecast "Here's our last 6 months of cash in and cash out [paste]. Build me a 90-day rolling cash flow forecast. Flag the weeks where we're tight and tell me what to cut or collect first." 3/ Expense Audit "Here's our full expense list for the last quarter [paste]. Categorize each one as essential, growth-driving, or fat. Rank the top 10 cuts I could make without hurting the business." 4/ Pricing Review "Here's our pricing structure and our last 50 deals [paste]. Tell me where we're underpriced, where we're leaving money on the table, and 3 specific changes I could test next quarter." 5/ KPI Dashboard "Build me a one-page financial dashboard for a [industry] business doing $[X]M in revenue. Include the 8 KPIs I should review every Monday. Tell me what good, average, and bad looks like for each." 6/ Owner Pay Analysis "Here's my owner compensation, distributions, and personal expenses run through the business [paste].

Calculate the payback period for each. Tell me which hire to prioritize and which one to delay." The prompts are only half of it. Clean numbers don't grow a business. But messy numbers will quietly sink one. Most of the founders I know who hit a wall didn't see it in their bank account first. They saw it in a P&L they'd been ignoring for 6 months. Look at your numbers monthly. Not when something breaks. Which prompt are you running first? ♻️ Repost if you know a founder who needs to spend more time in their books. P.S.
