We've been working with John Galt Finance as our Fractional CFO for my brand Remilia, and the experience has been excellent. They brought real structure and clarity to our financial planning, especially around inventory forecasting and financial modeling. Their insights helped us make better, more confident decisions as we scale. They're professional, responsive, and truly understand the needs of a growing brand. Highly recommend.
Fractional CFO for SaaS companies
We take over the finance function of your SaaS business: MRR and cohorts in order, the true economics of a subscription and CAC payback, runway under control, and a model and metrics that survive investor questions. Monthly retainer – no full-time CFO hire, no long contracts.

Who it's for
- Your subscription revenue grows, but it's unclear what drives it: new customers, upgrades or one-off payments. Churn is counted differently in every report, and runway lives in the founder's head.
- You're preparing for a fundraise and need the model and metrics shaped into something you can defend in front of investors.
- You've raised before, and this time you want the numbers ready before the first investor call, not after it.
