Equity Raising

Athena has extensive experience sourcing, structuring and negotiating transactions with venture capital, private equity and other institutional and individual capital sources. Athena leverages its experience from both sides of the table - as both prior CFO of several VC & PE-back operating companies, and as a prior VC & PE fund principal - to help your company be fully prepared to raise capital. Then Athena will work with you to source, structure, negotiate and close equity capital.

Business Planning & Modeling

Are you fully prepared to present your financial projections to institutional investors? Do you have visibility on projected uses of funds, capitalization requirements, and anticipated dilution? Athena has the experience and knowledge to help young companies plan and model future growth and understand the implications of those models from both a company and potential investor perspective.

Accounting & Finance

For startups and growing firms, Athena offers a turn-key, outsourced, finance and accounting solution. From monthly financial statements and analyses to AP and AR, Athena can help you save time, in a cost-effective and highly efficient manner, providing you more time to focus on running your business.

Budgeting & Forecasting

Understanding past performance and translating that insight into forward-looking targets that align actual financial results with corporate strategy is a key to sustained growth. Athena can help you create metric-based planning models and develop rolling forecasts that will provide visibility and help your company focus on what matters most.

Strategic Planning

Many small and medium-sized businesses are so tied up managing day-to-day operations that there is little time for strategic planning. Athena can help your business establish long-term goals and define objectives and strategies required to achieve those goals in light of market, financial, and other factors.
