02 / WHY IT WORKS
AI changes
what a senior
expert can deliver.
Experienced operators know how the pieces should fit together. AI gives a hands-on expert greater reach to build the connections.
Integrations. Automated workflows. Financial models. Information connected across the business. Senior judgment stays close to the work, from the first architectural decision through everyday operation.
The expertise stays human.
The capacity keeps expanding.
03 / FROM OPERATING EXPERIENCE TO WORKING SYSTEMS
Built inside
a real finance
function.
The business judgment
and the ability to build it.
Thriai grew out of Eric Anderson’s hands-on work connecting finance, planning, revenue operations and AI at a mid-market SaaS company.
Eric combines that implementation experience with finance leadership, acquisition support and investor reporting. The person designing your finance function understands the decisions it needs to support.

ILLUSTRATIVE WORKING DEMOCan we afford
Can we afford
the next hires?
One question. Connected cash and hiring assumptions. Change an input and follow the decision through.
See the arithmetic and assumptions
$1,200,000 ÷ ($75,000 + 2 × $10,000) = 12.6 months.
Synthetic inputs, not client data or a client result. Hires start immediately. Burn and employee costs stay constant; no revenue growth, financing, severance, hiring fees or interest. The chart covers 12 months and stops at zero. A real decision also needs timing, revenue scenarios and an agreed minimum cash buffer. This is an arithmetic demonstration, not an AI-generated recommendation.
02 / THE CONNECTION
The hiring record joins the cash model.
The added monthly cost flows into the same cash forecast. The solid line shows the change; the dashed line keeps the original plan in view.
03 / THE DECISION
Carry the tradeoff forward.
The same record and graph become a brief. Senior judgment still needs to weigh start dates, revenue scenarios and the cash buffer.

THE TRADEOFF / SYNTHETIC SCENARIO
Current burn only. H–01 has not yet been applied to this forecast.
Two hires add $20,000 to monthly burn and reduce runway by 3.4 months. At month 12, the model leaves $60,000 in cash.
