How Velocity Approaches It

We help companies rebuild the bridge between growth and finance. Velocity starts by mapping how revenue actually flows through your business, from acquisition to cash. We align definitions across teams, connect systems that have drifted apart, and rebuild reporting so the same number means the same thing everywhere it appears. That means marketing metrics reconcile with finance models, forecasts align with P&L, and growth data finally earns financial credibility. Once trust is restored, decisions move faster because everyone believes the same story. If you're done debating whose numbers are right, we'll help you build one version of truth that both growth and finance can stand behind.
