Variance assembly. The two weeks before the board meeting that consume senior finance time on cell-by-cell explanation — cost centre by cost centre, month by month, until the narrative emerges from the numbers.
Scenario modelling. The runway question the CEO asked on Tuesday that needs a model by Thursday — and the eight other questions that surfaced on the way. Each one is CFO-quality work. Few of them need a CFO.
Board commentary.The narrative work that translates numbers into the three stories your board will actually ask about. Accurate, directionally sound, written in the CFO's register. Done before the weekend.
Board authority. Statutory sign-off. Hire and fire. The relationships with CEO and chair. These are the CFO's professional identity — they do not translate to software, and they should not. Tyche is built to that reality: it handles the throughput so the CFO can own the authority.
CFO opens Tyche's morning email. Rolling 13-week view, intraday position, covenant headroom flagged. No login required.
Tyche drafts variance analysis, pulls actuals against plan by cost centre, surfaces the three narratives the board will ask about. CFO edits, approves, signs.
CFO types: “What happens to our runway if EBITDA slips 15%?” Tyche runs the scenario, returns a structured answer with sensitivity table. Two minutes, not two hours.
Illustrative — not live data.
Headroom: £2.3m — within normal range.
Week 9 trough: £1.8m — above floor.
Marketing: £47k over — flag for board narrative.
Interest Cover 1.4× against 1.25× floor — watch — entering seasonally weak quarter.
Tyche does not deliver its full value in week one. The integration stabilises, the morning brief lands on rhythm, and the first month-end pack drafts itself. That is useful. What follows is different.
Over time, Tyche builds a working model of your business — covenant tolerances, reporting cadence, the questions your board asks first. The output becomes anticipatory rather than reactive. That is the compounding.
Daily brief and month-end pack land on rhythm. The CFO stops chasing — the output arrives.
Tyche knows your covenant tolerances and the questions your board asks first. Scenario queries return faster; board commentary needs fewer edits.
Anticipatory alerts — covenant trends flagged two quarters before they would surface in management accounts. The CFO starts receiving insights they did not ask for.
Map reporting calendar, finance stack, the weekly questions that consume senior time. Deliver: written operating brief.
Connect to existing ERP, bank feeds, management accounts. 30-day shadow period — outputs run in parallel before reliance. Deliver: first dashboard, first morning brief, shadow-period variance report.
Full run-rate. Daily, monthly, on-demand. Quarterly calibration call.
Pattern recognition deepens. Anticipatory alerts emerge. The CFO starts receiving insights they did not ask for.
If finance is consuming senior time that should be on decisions, that is where we start.
