If you own your numbers, you increase your chances of building a more valuable business.
Our dashboards, scorecards, insights and analysis get you on top of your finances and become a better CEO.
Leaving this 'til later, when you and your finance function are not on top of things, will put your growth plans and maybe even your business into distress.
You wouldn’t leave Base Camp to climb a high mountain without being suitably prepped and conditioned for the climb, right?

Ciaran has done something for me that nobody, including all my maths teachers, has ever been able to do. He has made numbers fun, interesting and understandable. You don't often meet people this good at numbers that can also communicate like a human being!
Owning my numbers gives me clarity and confidence while giving direction to the management team and the business as a whole. It provides re-assurance to our investors while enabling us to plan for growth, knowing how and where our model works.
OYN has given us the confidence that we are in control of our business and of the numbers which make the difference between success & failure. It's a great tool to reassure me that we are on track and we haven't dropped a ball!
Business leaders need to focus on continuous improvements in performance and this comes with financial headaches. Having OYN watching your back empowers you to focus on your strengths, without losing control of your finances.
Many CEOs hope that 'numbers will fall into place', but they rarely do - YOU need to take action. OYN is a tool that lets you take control of your business' finances. If you feel doubt when asked "Are you in control of your numbers?" then I recommend you give this a try! I'm glad that I did.
Owning my numbers gives me huge confidence both running my business and also presenting/sharing financials with prospect investors
By owning our numbers, we are able to confidently run scenarios before making decisions. Whether that’s the implications of a potential sale or, entering a new market; our financials now contribute to our strategy, rather than just being a product of our strategy.
As a business leader - Own Your Numbers is the difference between your attention being in the wrong or right place. It’s that powerful.
Founders often avoid numbers – they prefer to focus on what inspired them to start: product quality, customer delight, team strength. But to understand the real value of these things you need numbers. Only then can you see the real impact of the actions you take.
Running my own business, I can certainly endorse the benefits of OYN – I feel more in control and make better decisions as a result. It also gives my Board and investors more confidence in our business.
You're busy, we get that. Right this second might not be a good time. We've designed this so the 'when' can happen a lot sooner than you think and before things become too stressful. What are you waiting for?
