What We Offer

Our Services

Seven focused practice areas — each with a distinct mandate, designed around the financial challenges that matter most to growing companies, sponsors, and their investors.

Office of the CFO

The Finance Function Your Business Demands. The Leadership It Deserves.

The moments that define a company — a fundraise, a board transition, a period of rapid growth — demand CFO-level thinking that is present, accountable, and calibrated to what is at stake. Manhattan Arrow steps into that role, building the governance structures, internal controls, and operational discipline that give executives, boards, and investors the confidence to make consequential decisions. This is not advisory from a distance — we embed alongside leadership and own the outcome.

→Finance Function Design, Build-Out & Transformation
→Internal Controls & SOX / ICFR Framework (Ongoing)

Capital Markets & Transaction Readiness

When the Transaction Window Opens, You Need to Be Ready.

Capital markets transactions — IPOs, SPAC mergers, dual-track processes, 144A placements — punish companies that are unprepared and reward those who have done the work before the process begins. Manhattan Arrow designs and executes the readiness programs that get companies there: establishing SEC-grade reporting cadences, building public-company operating models, preparing registration statements, and guiding management through the governance transformation that a public listing demands. We have led 20+ transactions across the full lifecycle — from listing-venue strategy through SEC review and close.

M&A, Carve-Out & Integration

Transactions Are Won or Lost in the Details. We Live in the Details.

A deal that closes on the wrong terms — or one that unravels in diligence — is worse than no deal at all. Manhattan Arrow brings end-to-end transaction discipline across the full M&A lifecycle: buy-side assessment and financial diligence, carve-out financial statement preparation, separation planning, and post-merger finance integration. Our work reduces execution risk, protects deal timelines, and ensures the finance function arrives at close ready to operate as a standalone entity. Cross-border execution across the US, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

→Sell-Side Diligence Preparation & Data Room Readiness
→Carve-Out Financial Statement Preparation (U.S. GAAP / SEC)

Private Equity & Value Creation

From Thesis to Exit — Finance That Drives the Return.

Private equity returns are built in the holding period, not at the closing table. Manhattan Arrow partners with sponsors and management teams to do the disciplined work that drives outcomes: standing up finance functions that give sponsors real visibility, building the 100-day value creation roadmap that converts the investment thesis into operational results, and preparing the business for a credible, defensible exit when the time comes. We have worked across the full holding period — from Day 1 planning through sell-side process management — for sponsor-backed companies across industries.

Engagement Scope

→100-Day Value Creation Plan Design & Execution
→Finance Function Assessment — Maturity & Gap Analysis
→Value Creation Roadmaps (Controls, Reporting, Operational KPIs)
→Sell-Side Exit Readiness & Performance Narrative Development
→KPI Substantiation & Metric Tie-Out for Sponsor Reporting
→Finance Organization Upgrade & Team Assessment
→Add-On Acquisition Screening & Integration Planning
→Sponsor & Management Communication Alignment

Financial Planning & Analysis

Numbers Are Easy. Insight Is the Work.

Most companies have data. Fewer have the forecasting discipline, variance rigor, and KPI governance to translate that data into decisions. Manhattan Arrow builds FP&A capabilities that connect operating performance to financial outcomes — designing the planning cadence, reporting frameworks, and board-ready performance packages that give leadership the tools to manage the business, the board the confidence to govern it, and investors the visibility to back it.

Engagement Scope

→Annual Budget, Long-Range Plan & Strategic Modeling
→Rolling Forecasts & Scenario / Sensitivity Analysis
→Forecast-to-Actual Bridge Methodology & Variance Discipline
→KPI Framework Design, Metric Definitions & Governance
→Board & Management Performance Reporting Packages
→SaaS & Recurring Revenue Metrics (ARR, NRR, Cohort Economics)
→EBITDA Bridge, Margin Analysis & Cash Flow Planning
→Earnings Guidance Framework & Approval Cadence

Valuation, Business Modeling & Equity Story

A Model Is Only as Good as the Story It Tells — and the Scrutiny It Survives.

A credible financial model is not a spreadsheet — it is a structured argument about how a business creates value, where the risks live, and what the range of outcomes looks like under different conditions. And a compelling equity story is not a deck — it is a coherent, data-grounded narrative that investors and buyers can test and believe. Manhattan Arrow builds both: the analytical foundation and the investor-facing communication layer that positions companies credibly in front of buyers, sponsors, and capital markets participants.

Engagement Scope

→Enterprise Valuation (DCF, Comparable Companies, Precedent Transactions)
→LBO & Returns Analysis for PE Sponsors
→Integrated Three-Statement Operating & Transaction Models
→Pro Forma Construction & Strategic Scenario Analysis
→Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) Support
→Equity Story Framework & Value Driver Identification
→Peer Benchmarking & Multiple Analysis
→Investor Presentation Development & Management Q&A Coaching

Data, Analytics & AI-Enabled Finance

The Right Data. The Right Insight. At the Speed Decisions Require.

Finance functions sit on some of the most valuable data in a business — and most of it goes underused. Manhattan Arrow helps companies close the gap between the data they have and the decisions it should be driving. From designing integrated reporting architectures and KPI dashboards to implementing AI-enabled tools that automate close processes, surface variance signals, and generate board-ready insight in real time, we bring analytical precision to the office of the CFO. The result is a finance function that does not just report on the business — it leads it.

Engagement Scope

→Financial Reporting & KPI Dashboard Design (Power BI / Tableau)
→Close-to-Report Automation & Workflow Optimization
→Integrated FP&A Data Architecture & Model Infrastructure
→AI-Assisted Variance Analysis & Anomaly Detection
