CFO / Chief Financial Officer

What This Skill Does

The CFO skill transforms your OpenClaw agent into a high-level strategic financial partner. It is designed to provide actionable guidance on essential financial processes including cash flow management, fundraising strategies, capital allocation, and board-level reporting. By embedding the core principles of lean financial management—such as the 13-week rolling forecast—this skill helps operators maintain visibility over their runway and unit economics. It acts as a bridge between raw data and executive decision-making, ensuring that financial operations are treated as a growth enabler rather than a bureaucratic bottleneck.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/cfo Ensure you have the OpenClaw environment initialized. You may also want to install the ceo or coo skills for a more comprehensive executive suite.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for founders and management teams at any stage of growth. Use it when you need to calculate your current runway, plan a fundraising round, analyze your CAC to LTV ratio, or prepare for board meetings. It is specifically built to handle the nuances of different company lifecycles, offering specialized advice whether you are pre-seed and managing limited cash or a Series B company preparing for audit readiness and M&A diligence.

Example Prompts

1. "We have $500k in the bank and a monthly burn of $50k. Based on my current growth rate of 10% MoM, what does our 13-week cash forecast look like and when should we start fundraising?"
2. "Review my current unit economics: CAC is $200 and LTV is $800 with a 6-month payback period. Are these metrics healthy enough for a Series A pitch?"
3. "Draft an agenda for our upcoming board meeting that highlights our progress on revenue targets while proactively addressing our upcoming headcount expansion."

Tips & Limitations

The CFO skill is a strategic advisor, not an automated accounting software. It does not perform network requests, connect to your bank accounts, or store sensitive financial data. All inputs should be provided as context within your conversation. For critical legal and financial decisions—such as signing term sheets, restructuring debt, or handling layoffs—always escalate to a qualified human advisor. Remember that simplicity often beats precision; avoid the trap of over-engineering your spreadsheets at the expense of business agility.
