Profit is an opinion. Cash is a fact.
A healthy P&L can sit on top of a cash shortfall. What happens after the invoice decides whether earnings ever turn into money you can spend.
Finance advisory for CFOs, founders and boards
Most businesses don’t have a profit problem. They have a visibility problem.
Arthvane finds where margin and cash are lost between the price you set and the money you keep, then builds the pricing, planning and reporting that keep them.

What we believe
Three convictions shape every engagement. They are why we start with margin and cash, and why we finish by handing the tools to your team.
Price is the most powerful lever, and the least managed.
A small slip in price realisation costs more profit than a large slip in volume. Few businesses track it as closely as they track sales.
A forecast is only as good as the decision it changes.
Numbers that arrive after the decision describe history. We build planning and reporting that reach leadership while choices are still open.
Try it yourself
Watch where the money goes.
Every business leaks somewhere. Tap each red point to seal it, and see how much more reaches the bank.

Four leaks are open. Seal them.
Six capabilities. One objective.
Each begins with a question a board will eventually ask, and ends with a tool your finance team uses every month.
Pricing and revenue leakage
Is the margin you priced in the margin you collect?
- Price and discount realisation
- Leakage audit: deductions, unbilled work, missed escalations
- Deal guardrails and pricing models
Cash flow and working capital
Why is cash tight when revenue is growing?
- Rolling 13-week cash forecast
- Billing, collections and credit terms
- Supplier terms aligned to customer terms
Profitability and cost
Which customers and products truly make money?
- Customer, product and channel margin
- Cost-to-serve and overhead allocation
- Unit economics and cost per FTE
FP&A and forecasting
Can leadership trust the forecast enough to act on it?
- Driver-based budgets and rolling forecasts
- Scenario and sensitivity analysis
- Performance reviews leadership uses
Financial modelling
What does this decision do to cash and returns?
- Integrated three-statement models
- Expansion, capex and investment cases
- Lender and investor-ready projections
MIS and finance automation
How soon after month-end does leadership see the numbers?
- Executive Power BI dashboards
- Automated month-end packs
- KPI definitions everyone reads the same way
Our approach
We measure our work by what your team can do after we leave.
Diagnose
A focused conversation that names the gaps costing you most, plainly.
Scope
Written deliverables and a fixed fee. No open-ended hours.
Build
Models, forecasts, pricing tools and dashboards, shaped around your decisions.
Hand over
Documentation, walkthroughs and a review cycle with your team.
A two-minute self-assessment
Where does your finance function stand?
Eight statements a well-run finance function can affirm. Answer candidly; nothing leaves your screen.
Ways to engage
Start with a conversation. Every engagement after that has a written scope and a fixed fee.
30 minutes
Finance Diagnostic
A conversation on planning, reporting, pricing and cash. No data request. You leave with your three largest gaps and what closing each is worth.
2 weeks
FP&A Health Check
Budgeting, forecasting, close and MIS reviewed against what the business now requires. You leave with a prioritised roadmap.
3 to 4 weeks
Profitability and Pricing Review
Margin by customer, product and channel, with leakage traced to its source. You leave with the moves that lift margin, ranked by value.
12 weeks
Cash Release Programme
Diagnose the cash cycle, release cash already earned, and embed weekly cash control. You leave with less borrowing and no surprises.
Senior attention
The partners lead your work themselves. Nothing is delegated down a pyramid.
Confidentiality
NDA first. Minimum data. Files returned or deleted at close.
Your systems
Built on Excel, Power BI and what you already run. No new licences.
No dependency
Everything is documented so your team owns it from day one.
Common questions
Who do you work with?
CFOs, founders and boards of growing businesses: founder-led companies, PE-backed businesses and mid-sized firms whose finance needs have outpaced their reporting.
How are fees set?
Every engagement has a fixed scope and a fixed fee agreed in writing before work starts, set by the problem, the scope and the outcome you expect.
How do you protect our data?
We sign an NDA before any data is shared, work with the minimum data needed, and return or delete working files when the engagement ends.
Do you replace our finance team?
No. We build alongside your team and hand everything over with documentation, so they run it without us.
Do you work outside India?
Yes. We are based in New Delhi and work remotely with clients elsewhere, travelling when the work calls for it.
