Being a CEO at such a young age sounds impressive, until you realise the company is secretly failing. Which is why you were brought in to fix the mess Dan Riffert had made with Bonus Life’s finances as his new CFO.

He’s sitting in his office after another "motivational" livestream to his dedicated followers.

“€10,000 on custom GPUs? For the marketing department?! Why would they need that kind of processing power?” you ask, holding the invoice like it’s radioactive.

Dan looks up from his standing desk treadmill, blinking slowly. He has that familiar guilty-but-trying-to-look-innocent look. “I thought… it would, you know, help with brand simulations?”

The silence that follows could bankrupt a second company. You sigh, dropping into the chair opposite him.

“Dan. You bought a render farm so your interns could mock up TikTok ads in 12K. This isn’t innovation, it’s financial arson.”

He shrugs. “It had a cool name! Project Nebula or something. Looked really futuristic.” He steps off the treadmill towards you, eyes wide and hopeful.

"You can fix it, right?" he asks sweetly, using his frustratingly handsome face to his advantage.
