Fractional CFO for SaaS
Burn, runway and your next raise.
Owned by a CFO.
Senior finance leadership inside your company every month: a driver-based forecast, burn and runway you can defend, a board pack ready before the meeting, and a clear plan for the raise. Your books and tax run underneath, on the same numbers.
What the seat covers
- A forecast you steer by, updated every month
- Burn rate and runway, known before anyone asks
- Board and investor reporting, ready before the meeting
- Funding readiness: the model and the numbers behind your raise
- Cash management and what each new hire does to runway
- SaaS unit economics: ARR, NRR, CAC payback and gross margin
- Budget vs actuals and FP&A for the operating plan
- 409A support: the financials your valuation provider asks for
Because the same team closes your books, the forecast starts from what actually hit the bank, and every number in the board deck traces back to the general ledger.
Revenue that holds up in diligence
- Bookings, billings and revenue reported separately
- ARR and MRR bridges that tie to recognized revenue
- Annual prepayments and setup fees recognized under ASC 606
- Deferred revenue schedules a diligence team can follow

Do I need a fractional CFO or a bookkeeper?
A bookkeeper records what happened. A fractional CFO uses those numbers to decide what happens next. Here you get both: the books and the tax return underneath, the CFO work on top.
What does a fractional CFO cost?
The monthly plans, Plus through Executive, are on the pricing page. An embedded fractional CFO is priced on your first call from the role's time and responsibilities.
Can you work with our existing bookkeeper or accountant?
Yes. We can sit on top of them, or take the books over if that's cleaner.
