Finance that stands on its own

We build the financial structure your SaaS company is missing, so the numbers can stand on their own and decisions can be made with peace of mind.

The situation

You've built a SaaS company
You haven't built a finance function

You have paying customers, a growing team, and a bookkeeper who keeps the books. But when something needs to be explained from the ground up, you’re still the only one who can.

You approve every payment yourself. Not because you don’t trust your people, but because it’s still faster to keep track of it yourself.

When the board asks how things are developing, you want to answer without hesitation. But you don’t fully trust the numbers until you’ve gone through them yourself.

It’s Sunday evening, and the numbers are still running through your head. The bookkeeper is off for the weekend. The board doesn’t meet until Tuesday. And the responsibility still rests with you.

You know that founder + bookkeeper no longer cuts it. But a CFO feels like letting go of something you’re not sure will hold without you.

If even one of these four sounds familiar, you’re not alone. That’s exactly the situation we help with.

How we help

Three outcomes
Built into your company

You're no longer the bottleneck

We build the foundation that means the finance function no longer stands or falls with you. The numbers can be explained, documented, and compared month after month, even when you’re not in the room.

One shared data foundation
Used by everyone

One set of definitions. Used by sales, finance, and the board. Decisions are made on the same numbers, not three different definitions.

You know what you can afford

Rolling forecast. Cash flow that ties to invoicing. No surprises at year-end. You know the answer before the question comes from the board.

The engagement

What an engagement looks like

A time-bound project that leaves your company with a stronger foundation. From the first mapping to the day the structure can stand on its own.

Fase 01

Mapping

We go deep on your specific situation: where you are, where you’re heading, and where the finance function actually starts to fall short.

Fase 02

Analysis

We don’t offer a standard package. We identify where the need is greatest and prioritize the work accordingly.

Fase 03

Build

We build the structure your company actually needs, based directly on the analysis.

Fase 04

Handover

We hand over to the bookkeeper, team, and board, so the setup can be maintained without us.

An example

They thought they needed a bookkeeper

They had an error in how VAT was handled on their EU sales that no one had spotted for a year and a half. 

This is what it looks like when the first problem isn’t the real one, and what it took to find and stop it.

The founder

I've sat in your chair

I started Meticq because I’ve worked in SaaS for more than 20 years, as controller, Head of Finance, CFO, and co-founder. I know how quickly a company can outgrow the finance structure around it. And I know how hard it is to keep a clear overview while the decisions get bigger and the pace gets faster.

It’s rarely spreadsheets that solve it. It’s structure.

– Lone Klank, founder of Meticq

Why it's worth doing

Structure is the difference between growing, and being able to keep up with the growth

EBITDA multiple at financial maturity.
Typically 3x without.
