CFO Services for Technology Companies
Financial leadership for tech companies at every stage. SaaS metrics, venture reporting, and growth finance expertise.
Do you understand SaaS metrics?
Absolutely. We track MRR, ARR, net revenue retention, gross churn, expansion revenue, CAC payback, LTV/CAC, Rule of 40, burn multiple, and other key SaaS metrics. We help you build a metrics-driven finance function and benchmark against industry standards.

The Technology Financial Landscape
The technology industry operates by different financial rules than traditional businesses. Investors value growth over profitability in the early stages. Companies often operate at negative margins for years while building market position. Valuations are driven by metrics that don't appear on traditional financial statements—ARR, net retention, Rule of 40.
Understanding these dynamics is essential for technology company financial leadership. A CFO who thinks in traditional terms—focusing exclusively on GAAP profitability, ignoring software economics, or failing to understand investor expectations—can lead a company astray or fail to unlock its full value potential.
The best technology CFOs are fluent in both worlds. They ensure GAAP compliance and financial controls while also tracking the SaaS metrics that drive valuations. They can prepare audit-ready financials while also building investor presentations that tell a compelling growth story. This dual fluency is what we bring to every engagement.
Why Work with a Technology Financial Specialist?
Technology companies need CFOs who understand their world. The metrics are different—ARR matters more than GAAP revenue. The stakeholders are different—VCs have specific expectations and communication preferences. The pace is different—decisions that take months at traditional companies need to happen in weeks at a startup.
Our team brings deep experience specifically with technology companies. We understand subscription economics: how to calculate and optimize LTV/CAC, what drives net revenue retention, and how to model the flywheel effects that create compounding growth. We know what investors look for at each stage—seed, Series A, growth equity—and how to position your company for successful fundraising.
We also understand the operational realities of technology companies. The engineering-centric culture, the agile development approach, the emphasis on data-driven decision making. Our recommendations fit naturally into how tech companies operate, rather than imposing traditional corporate finance approaches that create friction.
