About Ankit Kaushik
If your finance runs on- WhatsApp approvals - Email invoices - Excel tracking You don’t have a finance problem. You have a finance control problem.That’s where things start breaking- No clarity on who approved what - Payments get delayed or duplicated - Founders keep chasing finance for answers - No real-time visibility on cash + liabilities I help founders clean this up in 5 days—What I do (hands-on):I set up a structured finance control system where- All invoices come into one place - Approval workflows are defined and tracked - Payments are linked to approvals - Every action has a clear audit trail No more chasing. No more confusion—Why me?I’ve worked at McKinsey & Deloitte and led finance for startups — and I’ve seen the same pattern repeatedly:Companies don’t fail because of lack of data. They fail because they don’t have control over it.That’s why I built VextaCFO—Right now, I’m onboarding a few companies personally to test this on real data.If your finance feels messy, happy to take a look and help you clean it up.
