CFO-level clarity and confident financial decisions for growing Service and SaaS businesses
For Founders Feeling the Pressure
If You're Thinking...
Revenue’s growing but cash still feels tight
Forecasts feel more like guesses than plans
Margins look fine on paper but not in the bank
Finance is doing its best but the picture isn't clear
You're making critical decisions without confidence in the numbers
You need CFO-level insight — without hiring a full-time CFO
You're not wrong — and you're not alone.
These are signs your finance function isn’t keeping up with the business.
How I Help
When growth outpaces your finance function, you don't need more spreadsheets — you need a steady hand that brings clarity, structure, and direction.
I focus on what matters most for growing Service and SaaS firms.
I’ve seen how the best systems work - from startups and SMBs, to PE-backed firms and global enterprises.
I can help you build the right level of structure at your stage, without unnecessary complexity.
Reveal what’s really driving cash flow, margin, and risk
Build decision- ready forecasts that give you real visibility — not spreadsheet noise
Identify profit by client, service, or team — with clarity on where value is truly created

One-Conversation Clarity Session
If you’re facing a key financial decision or can’t see why the numbers don’t add up, a focused conversation can bring clarity fast.
Who I Work With
Claricy supports leaders of growing Service and SaaS businesses who need their numbers to be clear, reliable, and ready to guide confident decisions.
I typically work with:
Service firms — consulting, creative, professional services, and technical service providers

SaaS companies — especially those with onboarding, implementation, or managed services
Businesses with $2M - $50M in revenue — where growth has outpaced the finance function
Teams with a Controller or bookkeeper needing a senior finance partner not a full-time CFO
Fast-growing companies without a finance leader who need clarity & direction as they scale
Why Claricy
I’m a fractional CFO who delivers clarity and direction — not just compliance — grounded in decades of hands-on experience across startups, SMBs, SaaS firms, PE-backed businesses, and large enterprises.
I’ve helped companies grow, restructure, and exit with investor-ready systems, reliable reporting and finance operations that scale. I know how to build the right structure for your stage, and I use AI and automation where they sharpen insight and reduce noise — never as a shortcut.
My role is to bring calm, senior financial leadership: to uncover what's really happening in the numbers, strengthen the systems behind them, and help you make confident decisions as the business grows.
