Get The Finance Right. The Rest Will Follow.
Finance Firm for 14 years
Linotte gives founders the clarity of a full-time CFO without the full-time cost: cash forecasts, clean reporting, and straight answers on what to do next.
FINANCE THAT SINGS IN A PLAIN FIGURES
FOUNDED IN 2012
We started Linotte because too many good founders were making big decisions from spreadsheets they didn't trust, so we built a finance practice that explains every number, plainly and without the jargon.

Case Studies
The Acknowledged Impact On Their Businesses
Northbeam Lab
7 months of cash but had no plans.
We rebuilt their cash forecast, separated fixed costs from growth spend, and set hiring triggers tied to revenue milestones.

Tessel Goods
Sales are up, but the cash keeps disappearing.
We built a unit-economics view by product, a 13-week cash forecast, and a leaner reorder plan that cut underperforming items.

Fieldnote Studio
Fully booked, but deal with cashflow issue.
We tracked profitability per project, found that two long-running retainers were losing money, and repriced them with scoped deliverables.

Testimonials
Founders Voice After Numbers Finally Make Sense
Honest feedback from the people we've worked with, in their own words.

Maya Gilbert
"We went from guessing how long we had to knowing it to the week. Linotte rebuilt our forecast, and investors could finally follow our story. We closed our bridge round in ten weeks."
