Empowering Series A/B Founders with Strategic Finance Leadership to Scale Confidently

I’m Gabrielle Rancourt, founder of Rancourt Consulting and a strategic finance leader with more than a decade of FP&A experience.

I partner with growing Series A and Series B companies to strengthen the financial infrastructure needed to support their next stage of growth. Through budgeting and forecasting, cash flow planning, financial modeling, board reporting, and finance process design, I help leadership teams bring greater structure to their financials and clarity to decision-making.

My approach is grounded, collaborative, and practical. I translate complex financial information into clear, actionable insights so founders and executives can evaluate tradeoffs, manage growth with confidence, and build a finance function that scales with the business.

Rancourt Consulting LLC

Rancourt Consulting LLC

Founder & CEO

  • I partner with founders of companies under 100 employees who need financial clarity and strategy but aren’t ready for a full-time CFO. With experience at Condé Nast, Refinery29, and theSkimm, I’ve seen firsthand how quickly growth can create financial complexity.
  • Through fractional finance leadership, I help businesses turn financial chaos into clarity so they can scale with confidence, manage cash responsibly, and maintain investor trust.
  • What I Do:
  • Provide CFO-level support to founders and leadership teams.
  • Build financial models that inform smart, proactive decision-making.
  • Create clear, board-ready reporting that inspires investor confidence.
  • Design finance systems that grow with the company.
  • Core Services:
  • Budgeting & Forecasting (bottoms-up, departmental, variance analysis)
  • Revenue Models & Multi-Product P&Ls
  • Headcount Planning & Resource Allocation
  • Long-Range Planning (3, 5, 10 years)
  • Scenario Planning (Best, Base, Worst)
  • Cash Flow Forecasting & Reporting
  • Board Presentations & Investor Reporting
  • Financial Tool Implementation (Brex, Ramp, Hyperion, etc.)
  • If your company is scaling and you need financial strategy without the full-time CFO overhead, I’d love to connect - you can email me at gabrielle@rancourtconsulting.com
