You're growing on gut. We'll install how you scale.
Growth by the Numbers installs the operating system — financial ops, metrics, and cadence — for operator-led companies, small or large. Built by operators, delivered by a team. Founded by Tyler Briggs, who scaled a PE-backed platform from $30M to $100M+.
Forged inside PE-backed and founder-led companies
Your bookkeeper keeps score. You need someone who can change it.
Most growing companies have someone recording history, and no one engineering the future. Clean books tell you what happened. They don't tell you where the margin is hiding, whether you can afford the next hire, or what your business is worth to a buyer.
That's the difference between accounting and a CFO. I sit on the strategy side of the numbers: forecasting cash, pressure-testing decisions, and building the financial engine that compounds value quarter after quarter.
Operator-first
I translate finance into daily actions for GMs, dispatch, sales, and production, not slide decks nobody opens.
PE-fluent
IC-level models, KPI bridges, covenant reporting, and value-creation workstreams sponsors actually trust.
I've actually done it
I sat in the President and CFO seats of PE-backed companies and scaled one past $100M. This isn't theory.
Hands-on, not hand-off
We build the models and the cadence with you and run them alongside your team — founder-led by Tyler, delivered as a firm, not a slide deck tossed over the wall.
Three productized engagements. One outcome: predictable profit and cash.
Profit by the Numbers
A fast, forensic read on where margin and cash are leaking, and the prioritized plan to stop it. Most clients see measurable improvement inside 30 days.
- Margin bridge + root-cause driver tree (price / mix / labor / material / overhead)
- 13-week cash forecast baseline + working-capital opportunities
- KPI scorecard against the 7 metrics that run your business
Scale by the Numbers
The planning and reporting cadence your leadership runs every week, not just month-end financials. We install the operating system and the rhythm that makes it stick.
- Budget + rolling forecast (best / base / downside)
- Unit economics by branch / crew / channel
- Monthly close cadence + leadership pack
Institutional-Grade Scale
The full investor-grade finance stack (board reporting, controls, systems, and M&A integration) so value creation becomes repeatable and the platform is ready for its next phase.
- Board / IC pack with KPI bridges and cohort views
- Controls, policy library, and approval matrix
- ERP / BI build leadership (selection to implementation)
Three levers. Seven metrics. One operating system.
Every decision in your business moves three levers, and seven numbers tell you whether you're winning. That's the whole framework. Simple enough to run weekly, powerful enough to scale on.
Revenue Growth
Real, organic growth from a healthier pipeline and a better mix, not one-time spikes that break your systems and margins.
Margin Expansion
More profit from every dollar of revenue: pricing discipline, labor productivity, material control, and smarter overhead.
Team Leverage
More output from the same people. Revenue up, headcount flat: the sign of a business that actually scales.
The 7 metrics that run your business
A résumé of value created, not just hours billed.
I've spent my career inside the companies private equity builds, sitting in the President and CFO seats, integrating acquisitions, and answering to boards. This is the experience your business gets access to.
