Orange County · Fractional CFO
Staxiom folds cash-flow guidance, multi-entity strategy, and board-ready numbers into our top advisory tier for Orange County startups, built on top of bookkeeping and tax filing that are already accurate.
Real numbers on burn and runway, including lumpy, milestone-driven spending.
Numbers built for a board or investor update, not reformatted the night before.
Structure and timing calls made before a deadline forces them.
Irvine's biotech and hardware companies tend to spend in large, irregular chunks, a manufacturing run, a lab study, a prototype batch, rather than the smooth monthly burn a typical SaaS company sees. A rough mental estimate of runway is far less reliable here, which is exactly why board-ready numbers matter more, not less.

The same core work as anywhere: runway and burn modeling, board-ready reporting, and cash flow planning, folded into Staxiom's top advisory tier starting at $1,500/month. For OC's biotech and hardware companies specifically, that modeling usually has to account for lumpier, milestone-driven spending rather than a smooth monthly burn.
Both tend to spend in large, irregular chunks, a manufacturing run, a lab study, a prototype batch, rather than steady monthly payroll-driven burn, which makes a rough mental estimate of runway far less reliable than for a typical SaaS company. Board-ready numbers matter more here, not less, because investors reviewing a biotech or hardware startup expect to see exactly where that lumpy spend went.
