Our Approach
Partner-led. No juniors. No generalists.
When you engage SaaSFractionalCFO.co.uk, you work directly with a Big Four-trained, ICAEW Chartered Accountant who has spent their career in corporate finance, transaction services, and SaaS businesses. Your work is not passed to a junior.
We have worked in private equity-backed businesses, built financial infrastructure for venture-backed SaaS companies from seed to Series B, and managed financial due diligence on both sides of a deal table. We know what investors look for because we have been on the other side.
SaaSFractionalCFO.co.uk operates as a sister brand to ConsultEFC.com—our main corporate finance advisory practice—and SMEBusinessValuation.com. Between the three practices, we serve over 60 UK businesses across corporate finance, business valuation, and fractional CFO services.
We work exclusively with SaaS and AI companies. We do not serve traditional businesses, professional services firms, or retailers. This focus means we speak your language from day one.
Qualifications
- ICAEW Chartered Accountant (ACA)
- Big Four trained (Transaction Services / Corporate Finance)
- SaaS and venture-backed business CFO experience
- Financial due diligence experience (buy-side and sell-side)

Why SaaS founders choose us
SaaS-only focus
We do not serve every type of business. We serve SaaS and AI companies. That means your CFO does not need an explanation of MRR, ARR, or cohort retention on day one.
Partner-led, always
Every engagement is led by a partner-level CFO. There are no junior analysts working on your account and no hand-offs between team members mid-engagement.
Fixed, transparent pricing
Every retainer is fixed and agreed before we start. No hourly billing, no scope creep charges, and no surprises on the invoice. You always know exactly what you are paying.
No long-term lock-in
All retainers are month-to-month with 30 days' notice. We earn your business every month. You are not locked into a 12-month contract with a firm that has already moved on to the next client.
Fast onboarding
We can typically begin work within one week of our discovery call. For companies with urgent fundraising timelines, we can mobilise faster. The first financial model delivery is within 48–72 hours of receiving your data.
Investor network access
Through our corporate finance practice at ConsultEFC.com, we have established relationships with UK venture capital, growth equity, and debt providers. Where appropriate, we can make introductions.
