Fractional CFO - Bangalore
A fractional CFO for Bangalore founders
Most Bangalore companies that come to us are venture backed and growing faster than their finance function. The questions are fundraise shaped: how long is the runway, what does the next round need to see, and who owns the model.
- Typical profile
- VC-backed, often SaaS
- Usual trigger
- A round, or a board that wants numbers
- How we work
- Remote, on your calls
- Engagement
- Monthly retainer, no lock-in
What we usually find in a Bangalore company
- Revenue is growing and nobody can say what the burn multiple actually is, or how many months of runway remain under two different plans.
- The model lives in one founder’s spreadsheet and cannot survive a diligence question.
- Revenue recognition was never set up properly, which is the single most common thing to blow up in a Series B data room.
- Board reporting is assembled the night before, so the board debates the numbers instead of the decisions.
What a fractional CFO does about it
Before the round
- Build the operating model, and make it the one everybody works from.
- Fix revenue recognition and the chart of accounts before a diligence team finds them.
- Get the data room built early rather than during the process, when it costs you leverage.
Every month
- Burn, runway and cohort economics reported on a rhythm, not reconstructed on demand.
- A board pack that a board can decide from.
How we work with Bangalore companies
We are based in Chennai and work with founder-led companies across India, remotely and on your calls. For a Bangalore company that usually means a senior partner in your board and investor conversations rather than a monthly report arriving by email.
