Free Financial Model
Are you a founder with no CFO on your team? All founders know the importance of setting clear targets for the year so that your team, co-founder and board are all pulling in the same direction. But, without a CFO making sure that your financial targets make sense and that your costs and revenues are joined up, this can be a serious challenge.
Download this free SaaS financial model template to streamline your planning. I built this model to use best practice, industry standard metrics and includes driver-based forecasting for your subscription or recurring revenue using ACV, gross renewals, net renewals, expiry profiles, and new business.

Advantages of fractional approach
Time freedom
If you don't have a CFO already, your time will likely be occupied by managing either internal junior finance staff or an external accounting partner. Let me handle financial matters as your Subscription CFO so you can take back your time to focus on what really excites and inspires you.
No long-term commitment
Unlike a permanent CFO, I offer flexibility to increase support when you need it most and give you the freedom to reduce your expenditure if your requirements change.
Cost effectiveness
Accessing high-level financial leadership doesn't have to break the bank. With a fractional approach, you don't have to foot the—often considerable—bill for a full-time executive. Access help, advice, and leadership when you need it and don't spend your capital when you don't.
A SaaS and subscription specialist
As a CFO experienced in SaaS and subscription revenue, I will hit the ground running and implement current best practice in operational reporting and performance management.
