02 · The method

What the first 30 days actually do to your cash.

A fixed sequence, the same one we run inside the companies we own. Each week ends with something you can see.

  1. Week 01

    Cash visibility.

    Banks connected and a real-time read on where the money is going.

  2. Week 02

    Fix the reporting stack.

    Books corrected, reconciled and organized so every number downstream can be trusted.

  3. Week 03

    Board-grade reporting.

    P&L, cash flow and KPIs refreshed monthly — the same standard we'd take to a lender.

  4. Week 04

    The plan.

    Budget, forecast and a 90-day action list — with the technology that keeps it updated.

Where one of our own companies started: on the edge of bankruptcy. The number it's at today is the deliverable.

What does Sentry Strategy do?

Sentry Strategy is a Texas-based advisory firm, founded in 2021, that gives small and mid-sized businesses Big Four-grade support in six areas: accounting advisory, finance transformation and fractional CFO services, transaction advisory, technology advisory, digital marketing advisory and strategic advisory.

Do you offer fractional or interim CFO services?

Yes. Our Finance Transformation & Advisory practice provides CFO expertise on demand — financial strategy, forecasting and budgeting, cash-flow management, reporting, and turnaround or restructuring leadership — without the cost of a full-time hire.

Is the first consultation free?

Yes. The intro session is free. You leave with a read on your cash flow whether or not we work together, and if we're not the right fit we'll say so.

Do you provide audit services?

No. We do not provide audit services. We keep your records compliant with applicable regulations so that tax preparation, audits and financial reporting run smoothly.

Can Sentry Strategy act as a court-appointed receiver?

Yes. Founder Charlie Adams is frequently selected by Texas state courts to serve as receiver in fraud, Ponzi-scheme and shareholder-dispute matters, and also serves as Chief Restructuring Officer, interim CFO, trustee or independent board member.

How do you manage Google Ads accounts?

Every client account is linked under our Google Ads manager account. Our tooling, built on the Google Ads API, monitors performance daily and proposes optimisations, and a named operator on our team approves every change before it reaches your account.

Who will I actually work with?

The partners. Charlie Adams, Brad Wesson and Nick Le lead engagements directly — ex-PwC CPAs and a SaaS founder who have done this work before and can show the paperwork.
