Fractional FP&A and strategic finance for scaling companies

We give growing technology companies the resources of a mature finance team, but at a fraction of the cost. If you need interim or long-term finance support of any kind, including working with your existing finance leadership, we’re here to help.

Our comprehensive capabilities let you get back to running your company

  • We will revamp your existing financial model or build new models entirely from scratch, with a focus on thorough data review to build quality models.

  • We will work with department leads to put together detailed revenue and cost forecasts that will influence the financial model. We will also create budget vs. actuals for ongoing monitoring.

  • We will ensure timeliness and accuracy in generation of 3 statements, manage AP and AR, and implement processes to ensure ongoing quality. We can also manage your Carta / cap table processes.

  • We will implement monthly and quarterly reporting processes for the C-Suite, with detailed variance analyses. We will also take the lead on your board and investor relations processes.

  • Whether you are raising debt or equity, we can own the process starting with data room creation to term sheet.

About the founder

I’ve worked at high growth, venture-backed technology companies like Plaid, Vettery, and Zendrive. I worked on Vettery’s acquisition of Hired and sold Zendrive to Intuit / Credit Karma. Unlike many fractional CFO services, I roll up my sleeves and build models and materials from scratch because I want them done right.

I’ve raised tens of millions in new capital, and spearheaded investor relations and board reporting processes. I’ve also been the first dedicated finance hire multiple times, and seen operations through to exit.

It takes time to find the right finance hire for your organization, and it’s an expensive hire. HighSierra will fill in that gap for you right now at a lower, flexible cost.
