How much runway do we really have?
Build a cash forecast that reflects hiring dates, collections, annual contracts, churn, payment timing, tax, and financing assumptions.
Fractional CFO for Software and SaaS
Software companies need a finance view that connects growth to cash.
I run the finance function around runway, recurring revenue, gross margin, headcount, customer economics, board reporting, financing, and the path from growth to a durable business.
The questions that matter
Use the numbers to make the operating call.
The work is useful when it connects the financial result to what management can change next.
Which growth is worth funding?
Connect acquisition cost, implementation effort, gross margin, retention, expansion, and payback instead of relying on top-line growth alone.
When can we make the next hires?
Model the fully loaded cost, ramp time, delivery capacity, sales capacity, and downside case before offers go out.
What should the board or lender see?
Create a concise reporting package that explains performance, forecast changes, risks, decisions, and the actions management is taking.
What I take responsibility for
Run the finance function around the business model.
The bookkeeper and accountant remain important. The CFO role makes sure their work comes together into one management view.
- Manage the close, accounting support, and reporting calendar.
- Maintain the cash, revenue, hiring, and operating forecast.
- Build management, board, and lender reporting around the business model.
- Support financing, hiring, pricing, product investment, and transaction decisions.

A useful first conversation
If one of these questions is already on the owner's desk, that is enough for a first conversation.
