KPISense Raising $1.5m Now on $1.2m Revenues As Tech Enabled CFO For SaaS Founders

yeah so average acv uh it's about 30k annually um you know price point on average is about 2500 a month and uh again we have we have great great net retention people stick around what's great for you uh 100 plus uh right on average i mean again we don't have a ton of data we've only been in business for a year and a half so you know knock on wood uh hopefully that uh that sticks around there but

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Yeah, I mean, I think for us, the reason being the traditional outsource finance space is broken.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
KPISense Raising $1.5m Now on $1.2m Revenues As Tech Enabled CFO For SaaS Founders

You're talking about consultants who are old school, a lot of them with mixed financial experience within SaaS.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And there's perverse incentives.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
KPISense Raising $1.5m Now on $1.2m Revenues As Tech Enabled CFO For SaaS Founders

There's no benefit for them to go and build automation and structure.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
KPISense Raising $1.5m Now on $1.2m Revenues As Tech Enabled CFO For SaaS Founders

That's work they're taking off their plate in future periods.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So our model is more long-term focused.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
KPISense Raising $1.5m Now on $1.2m Revenues As Tech Enabled CFO For SaaS Founders

We do minimum six to 12-month deals.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And we try to work at a much more reasonable price point.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

An average outsource CFO or consultant will charge

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
KPISense Raising $1.5m Now on $1.2m Revenues As Tech Enabled CFO For SaaS Founders

$5,000 to $15,000 a month for this type of work.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
KPISense Raising $1.5m Now on $1.2m Revenues As Tech Enabled CFO For SaaS Founders

We're half the cost.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And even if you go and hire a full-time CFO or VP of finance, we scale with your business.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So that's happened in five of our engagements.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We've stayed on every time because we've become more of a fractional FP&A financial analysis resource, and we're a third or a fourth of the cost of a full-time finance head to support your business on the financial side.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Is there software behind this, or is it consulting?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
KPISense Raising $1.5m Now on $1.2m Revenues As Tech Enabled CFO For SaaS Founders

Yes, it's a great question.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
KPISense Raising $1.5m Now on $1.2m Revenues As Tech Enabled CFO For SaaS Founders

So it started off as more consulting, more of a managed service retainer format.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We started building our platform back in April, and now we've got an engineering team of four and are actually in kind of a fundraising process ourselves, kind of reviewing term sheets.
