EXECUTIVE SEARCH: CFO, CFO-1, INTERIM & FRACTIONAL FINANCE SUPPORT

Metrics-Driven SaaS Finance Leadership

Scaling a SaaS business takes more than just great tech—it takes a financial leader who can combine commercial acumen with a deep understanding of SaaS metrics and strategic foresight. SaaS startups require a unique type of financial leadership. They have to be data-driven, agile, and commercially minded. We work with founders, CFOs, and VCs to recruit finance leaders who know how to scale smartly and support your next fundraise, expansion, or acquisition.

We have a network of finance leaders who are well-versed in SaaS-specific financial operations and bring experience in:

  • Building scalable finance systems and processes

  • Forecasting revenue across subscription and usage-based models

  • Optimising unit economics (MRR/ARR, CAC, LTV, Churn, gross margin)

  • Driving metrics-led decision making across GTM, product, and ops

  • Managing investor relations and board reporting

  • Implementing compliance and controls for audit readiness

We will go beyond our existing network to identify finance leaders who understand how SaaS metrics influence cross-functional decision-making, support capital-efficient growth, and shape long-term strategy, ensuring we find the right person to elevate your SaaS business.
