Case Study:
Northpeak Analytics (SaaS)

Northpeak Analytics is a B2B SaaS company providing data reporting tools for mid-market clients. At the time of engagement, the company was experiencing strong revenue growth but lacked financial structure, with inconsistent forecasting and limited visibility into cash flow and profitability trends.

We were brought in as fractional CFO support to implement financial systems that would improve decision-making and support scalable growth. This included building a structured forecasting model, introducing monthly KPI reporting, and creating a clear financial dashboard for leadership visibility.
We also supported the founders in aligning operational spending with growth targets, improving margin awareness, and establishing a more predictable cash flow structure.

Within the engagement period, Northpeak Analytics achieved significantly improved financial visibility, stronger forecasting accuracy, and better alignment between strategic planning and day-to-day financial decisions.
