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.

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.

Private Equity-backed SaaS
With Intelligence were ready to make an exit at the end of a Private Equity cycle. I enabled this process by building a new financial model and leading short- and long-term financial planning efforts, which were shared with due diligence providers and bidders.
With Intelligence
"Dan's clarity and insight was invaluable for our sales team's performance. We always had a complete picture of where we were winning and where we had opportunities to improve. We couldn't have grown the business as we did without his input."
LHFC
"Dan ensured that we could confidently invest in our new premises. His understanding of our operation made it easy to trust the modelling he prepared and to use it to set believable growth targets for our next financial year and beyond."
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you are lacking financial control or visibility in your business, book a call with me today so we can discuss your challenges and how I can help.
