Drivers over outputs
Any forecast that cannot tell you which lever moves which number is decoration. We rebuild from drivers, every time.
About
Built by a CFO who has been in the seat.
Northpath is a four-person fractional CFO practice serving venture-backed B2B SaaS. We have lived through three Series B rounds, two recapitalizations, and one workout. None of it was theoretical.
Founder
Jordan Chen
Former CFO at Plotline (Series C, $48M ARR). Started Northpath in 2022 after watching too many strong founders walk into board rooms with bad models.
Jordan has sat across the table from over 40 institutional VCs as an operator and now coaches founders through that same conversation every week. Before Plotline, she led FP&A at Asana and started her career in growth equity at Spectrum.

Three operating principles.
Weekly beats quarterly
Founders who see the numbers weekly make smaller, earlier corrections. Quarterly surprise is a leading indicator of a bad raise.
Plain language, always
If the board narrative needs a glossary, the narrative is wrong. Finance is a translation function. We translate.
