Meet Maren Jystad
I've spent the last 12 years helping finance teams explain their numbers to investors who don't speak accounting. Most reporting problems aren't about the data—they're about translation. My programs focus on turning spreadsheets into stories that actually get read. Based in Taipei since 2019, working with companies across tech, manufacturing, and services.
Quick Wins You Can Use Right Away
Before committing to a full program, here are practical insights from our training sessions. Real techniques that solve common reporting headaches.
The Five-Minute Rule
If an investor can't understand your main point in five minutes, your report needs work. Lead with conclusions, not raw data.
What Investors Actually Read
After analyzing 200+ investor meetings, we found they focus on three things: revenue trajectory, burn rate, and runway. Everything else supports these numbers. Structure your reports around what gets attention, not what accounting says should come first.
Color-Coding That Works
Stop using red and green. About 8% of men have color vision issues. Use blue and orange, or add icons alongside colors.
Monthly vs. Quarterly
Monthly reports should track operations. Quarterly reports should show trends and strategy. Don't send the same thing every time.
The Context Problem
Numbers without context are just confusing. Always compare to: last quarter, same period last year, or your original forecast. Pick one and stick with it.
When to Use Commentary
Add written notes when numbers don't match expectations. Good news can speak for itself. Bad news needs explanation before the phone rings.
