One bad decision can wipe out
six months of profit.
Trusted by founders and agencies managing $2M+ in annual cash flow
Helm shows you the impact before you make it.
At a fraction of one bad hire.
You stop managing the business from backward-looking books and start operating with a live view of what the next 52 weeks actually look like.
Stop getting blindsided by cash gaps
See the shortfall before payroll, tax, or vendor deadlines turn a normal month into a scramble.
Know what the hire really costs
Test hires, pricing changes, and expansion bets before you commit cash you may not get back.
See when your runway gets dangerous
Know exactly how fast a bad month, delayed payment, or bigger payroll shrinks your margin for error.
Stop second-guessing the spreadsheet
Replace fragile sheets and gut feel with one model you can trust when the pressure is highest.
One side waits for the problem. The other sees it coming.
The numbers either give you time to act, or they leave you reacting when the damage is already done.
Without Helm
- You stitch answers together from spreadsheets, bank balances, and instinct.
- You usually discover the risk after the month has already started going wrong.
- Late client payments hit when there is no clean move left to make.
- Every big decision carries doubt because no one fully trusts the numbers.
With Helm
- You can see where the pressure builds before it turns into a problem.
- You know the runway cost of a hire or growth bet before you commit.
- Late cash, risky clients, and weak spots stand out early enough to act.
- You walk into partner, investor, and team conversations with a real answer.
Bad timing is expensive. Clarity is not.
A single bad call can cost more than months or years of Helm.
Bad hire
~$48,000
Burned in 5 months on a $90k salary once taxes, benefits, and onboarding costs become real cash out the door.
Emergency cash gap
~$12,000
In interest and fees from carrying a $40k balance on credit cards and a short-term line for 12 months.
Desperate low-paying project
$20,000
Lost margin from taking a $30k project you should have priced at $50k just to keep cash moving.
At a fraction of one bad hire, Helm gives you the clarity to stay ahead and the confidence to move without guessing.
