You’re not lazy. You’re not bad at business. You’re just stuck in the financial fog.
You’re putting in the work—shipping product, building a team, trying to do it right. But without clear numbers, you’re left guessing:
✔️ Are my margins actually good enough?
✔️ Can I afford to make that hire?
✔️ Is this business even profitable?
That guessing game wears you down. It steals your time, your clarity, your confidence.
That’s why Future Ready exists. We give purpose-led founders the financial tools, insights, and support to finally see what’s working—and what’s not—so you can lead your business with clarity, not stress.
👉 Stop guessing. Start leading.
You’re Doing the Work—But Are You Seeing the Reward?
You’re building something meaningful. But without financial clarity, it’s hard to know whether your effort is actually moving the needle—or just keeping you busy.
Most founders we work with feel like they’re constantly putting out fires, juggling everything themselves, and wondering:
“Is this even working?”
At Future Ready, we help you get out of survival mode. With the right tools, insights, and support, you’ll stop second-guessing your decisions—and start leading with confidence.
👉 Let’s make your hard work count.

real founders. real wins.Â

"Basically I was kinda lost, in terms of where I was financially. I didn't really know if I was profitable. It definitely gave me a lot more clarity and it was very educational. Projecting cash flow was very helpful. Just knowing am I going to have enough money to purchase inventory further down the line and what that looks like?"
- Sarah Low, Founder @ Hella Phat Vegan

"Before working with Nate I was struggling to get a real grasp on the financial health and future of the company. We are a small company and all wear different hats with little time for thought outside of the day to day. Having someone like Nate with the expertise and experience review our financials and build a realistic model for us opened my eyes to what is really going on, what matters and what needs to be done to sustainably grow. This is a must for any business owner, it cannot be described in any other way. It is an absolute must and working with Nate was a wise choice.
-Â Isaac Singer, Co-Founder @ Merch SaladÂ

"Nate was great to work with! Work was pristine, on time, and he was always easy to reach when needed. Project came perfectly, can't say enough good things. I would have no hesitation to work with again or refer to anyone."
-Â Alex Betz, Founder @ Plant By NumbersÂ

"Having the confidence to know that you're ahead of the game and having a better sense of our own business is very comforting. It's exciting. It takes you from feeling demoralized to feeling excited and positive. You can start getting ahead of the curve. It’s this kind of positive feedback loop that really re-engaged me in my own business in a really positive way."
Paul Hodges - CEO & Co-Founder @ Soltech Solutions

Hi, I’m Nate!

Founder of Future Ready | Fractional CFO | Ex-Founder | Wall St. Escapee
I’ve been where you are—running a mission-driven brand, wearing all the hats, and wondering why the numbers still don’t add up.
Before launching Future Ready, I built my own eComm startup from a $40K Kickstarter to a 7-figure business. I’ve sat in the founder seat, and I know how lonely it can feel when the numbers get messy.
Earlier in my career, I spent nearly a decade on Wall Street, analyzing financial statements, spotting patterns, and learning to read data like a story. That’s what I bring to founders today: the ability to make sense of the mess, build smart systems, and lead with confidence—without losing sight of purpose.
Through 1:1 support, group programs, and free tools, I help purpose-led brands get financially Future Ready.
📍 Based in Brooklyn. Always down to swap founder stories over coffee (or spreadsheets).
