Who This Is For

## Is This You?

- ✓ Doing approximately $5+mm in revenue
- ✓ Considering a sale in the next 12–24 months
- ✓ Don't have a full-time CFO yet, and know you need more financial sophistication before a sale
- ✓ Want peers, not isolation — founders who enjoy locking arms and helping others in the room along the way

The Program

## What the 13 Weeks Include

#### Kickoff at McLemore

A few days in the mountains — golf, rucking, and a singer-songwriter night with the rest of your cohort before the work begins.

#### 13 Weeks of Coaching

Individual coaching, group sessions, and guest speakers who live inside M&A transactions every day.

#### Books, Numbers, Growth Story

The Inflammo team rolls up its sleeves — cleaning up the books, tightening the numbers, and building the growth story a buyer will actually pay for.

The Investment

## $75k

Call it the cost of a full-time CFO for three months — one whose only job is to get you ready for a transaction while earning your money back and then some.

Client Story

FAQ

## Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't have a full-time CFO?

That's exactly who this is built for — founders who know they need more financial sophistication before a sale, but aren't ready to hire a full-time CFO yet.

What happens at the McLemore kickoff?

A few days together in the mountains — golf, rucking, and a singer-songwriter night — before the 13 weeks of individual coaching and group work begins.

What does the $75k cover?

Individual coaching, group sessions, guest speakers who live inside M&A transactions, and the Inflammo team working directly in your books to clean up the numbers and build your growth story.

How is the price justified?

At $5mm in revenue, even a .25% bump in margin is likely worth $75k+ in enterprise value. We're confident we'll not only have you ready for the transaction but will look for ways to add value along the way.
