Who we work with

From first raise to scale

Technology companies scale quickly, often ahead of their financial systems. The questions change with each stage, so we start with where you are.

Early-stage startups

Financial models, pricing, cap tables and share valuations, and the materials behind a raise.

Growth-stage companies

Forecasting, SaaS metrics, board reporting and the finance function a scaling company needs.

Investors and acquirers

An independent view of a company’s model and metrics, valuation, and diligence ahead of an investment or acquisition.

Decisions we support

The decisions technology companies bring to us

Each one links to the practice that handles it, so you can go from the question in front of you to how we answer it.

Raising your next round

The model, metrics and investor materials behind a raise, and the terms that come with it.

Capital raising

Valuation and cap table questions

Share valuations for option pricing, convertible notes and cap table modeling.

Business valuation

Pricing and packaging

Pricing models and tiers built on customer value and unit economics.

Pricing and costing

Finance leadership without a full-time CFO

Forecasting, reporting, board decks and investor updates from fractional CFO support.

Fractional CFO

Metrics that match the business

Tracking revenue, retention, acquisition cost and burn in a way your board and investors trust.

Finance and strategy integration

Acquisitions and exits

Buy-side and sell-side support, valuation and diligence through to close.

Mergers and acquisitions

Our perspective

The numbers behind a round should be as well built as the product.

We track revenue, retention, acquisition cost and burn the way boards and investors expect, and keep the model, cap table and reporting ready for the next raise.

Questions

Questions technology companies ask us

Do you value shares for option grants?

Yes. We value common shares for option pricing, including companies with shareholders on both sides of the border. Our guide to 409A and Canadian fair market value explains how the two differ.

When should a startup bring in a fractional CFO?

Usually when fundraising, board reporting or cash planning starts taking founder time away from the product. Our guide to what a fractional CFO does covers the costs and benefits.

Do you only work with companies in British Columbia?

No. We are based in Vancouver and work with companies across Canada and internationally.

What does an engagement cost?

It depends on the scope. After a first conversation we send a written proposal with deliverables, timing and fees, so you know the cost before any work begins.
