Do you recognise this?

Most SaaS founders between £500K and £5M ARR don't have anyone looking at their numbers. If two or more of these apply, your data isn't investor-ready.

Revenue in your profit and loss jumps wildly month to month
Your recurring revenue tracker doesn't match your accounting data
All salaries sit under one line in Xero
You couldn't tell an investor your customer retention rate right now
Your gross margin is either "90%" or "I'm not sure"
You calculate runway by dividing cash by your profit and loss

What founders say about us

Read all reviews on Trustpilot

"Constantin knows his stuff and it was a really professional experience working with him. We will keep engaging Constantin to support us with our financial strategy. Only positive things to say about his services."

Jimmi Jakobsen
Verified Trustpilot review

"Our CFO Constantin is always there for us, with clear reporting, useful insights (that we can't see as we are too close), and quick replies to our questions. A fractional CFO makes so much sense. A lifetime of experience at a fraction of the cost."

What I do

Everything your finance function needs

From messy books to investor-ready financials - hands-on, not advisory-only.

What investors will find

Sort the past before you sell the future

Investors are now using AI for due diligence. Every inconsistency in your data gets flagged in minutes. These are the problems they find most often:

Revenue that doesn't add up

The recurring revenue you quote in investor meetings doesn't match the revenue in your accounts. Renewal contracts booked in the wrong period, annual subscriptions recognised as a lump sum instead of spread across 12 months.

Inflated gross margin

Your margin says 90% because engineering and customer success costs are classified as operating expenses instead of cost of sales. Investors always scrutinise this and a wrong number destroys trust instantly.

Customer concentration risk

Your top 3 customers make up over 50% of revenue. That's not a valuation multiplier, that's a risk discount. And you need the data to prove it's not as bad as it looks.

No retention or efficiency metrics

No way to show how much revenue you keep from existing customers, how long it takes to recover the cost of acquiring one, or how your customer base behaves over time. If your revenue data is wrong, none of these numbers can be trusted.
