SaaS Financial Accelerator

The global Software as a Service (SaaS) market size is projected to grow from $250 billion in 2022 to $880 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 19.7%. It is not surprising that many businesses are attracted to this market, not only because of its growing size but also very high profitability relative to traditional “brick” businesses. Despite the immense profit potential of the SaaS model, its execution is notoriously difficult and thus success is not guaranteed. The underlying reasons often have to do with SaaS business’ inability to properly manage its financial performance through different stages of the SaaS business life-cycle. We help overcome this challenge through the deployment of our proprietary 5-Pillar SaaS Financial Framework, focusing on Growth, Retention, Gross Margins, Profitability and Sales Efficiency. Our approach is holistic, as we deliver not only a world-class SaaS financial model but do so within a project & change management framework which increases exponentially the commercial and financial opportunity available to your SaaS business while minimizing disruption to your organization.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) bring together companies through complete changes in ownership, and they have been used by companies for centuries and remain a major way to expand business rapidly. The main advantages of M&A transactions include business extension, building new business capabilities, increasing market power, increasing operational efficiencies, improving financial performance and optimizing its tax position.

Post-Merger Integration

Conducting a post-merger integration following a merger or acquisition is an immensely challenging task. To ensure the company reaches its cost and revenue synergy targets, and to increase the value creation of your M&A deal, we offer a simple and comprehensive 3-phase approach that focuses on integration strategy, detailed integration planning, and on rigorous implementation and monitoring of the business integration. For the integration of two businesses to be successful, it needs a plan and the right skills to ensure that change occurs at both the executive level and among the delivery team. We treat thus each business integration as a project with appropriate governance, resourcing, scope definition, and the optimal business set up that converts the opportunity into success.

Business Transformation & Operational Excellence

Operations & SCM Advisory

Getting products and service from the supplier to the end customer involves a very complex set of activities and relationships required to design, source, produce, and deliver a product or service. And a well-managed supply chain is critical to ensure that products are delivered on time, at the right quality, and at the lowest possible cost. We help businesses optimize their supply chain and manufacturing activities through a comprehensive framework that focuses on improving your supply chain management strategic capabilities, improving your organizational performance by simplifying processes and their reliability using lean six sigma and DMAIC methodology, applying business process management (BPM) to implement or optimize specific business processes, among many other things.

Project & Change Management

We help you create a holistic approach within your organization that tackles both project management and change management simultaneously. We believe that one should not come without the other. On one hand, project management focuses on defining and implementing projects that will change your organization’s structure, job roles, processes, and systems. On the other hand, change management focuses on helping individuals impacted by these changes to adapt and be successful. Far too often, we have noticed that many companies underestimate the importance of change management. The main problem is that if the employees and managers in your organization do not adopt and embrace the new changes, your projects will rarely achieve their expected return on investment.

Operational and Process Excellence

Elevate your organization’s efficiency with our Process Excellence Service. We partner with leaders, managers and your broader teams to design, implement, and optimize best-in-class processes that drive superior performance. Our service focuses on Business Process Management (BPM) strategies, ensuring seamless interactions between people and systems.

What we stand for

We Listen And Build Trust

Everything we do is guided by our unwavering commitment to underwrite our clients' business success. We believe the foundation of engaging with our clients is trust, reliability, integrity, and honesty. This is why we listen all along the way to what is on our clients' mind, and then provide consistent positive experiences and agreed business outcomes. Furthermore, we are guided by a sincere desire to get the job done for our clients and by "holding our client's back" at all times.

We Act With Transparency

In everything we do we strive to be honest, trustworthy, and reliable. Our authority and expertise along with our unravelled integrity, professional ethics and competence are at the heart of our activities. In our field of work, information asymmetry is common, and we do all we can to remove it, so clients know from the outset what outcomes we can bring, and how, and what business upside we can deliver. We never engage if we think we cannot deliver on our promise.

We Seek Maximum ROI

Return on investment is a financial metric used to measure the profitability of an investment. When addressing our clients' business problems, we take upon ourselves to find and to deliver solutions with maximum benefit (or ROI) and quickest possible payback while minimizing risks, considering market environment and opportunity costs. In doing so, we don't cut corners, but partner with our clients, research their business and its financials, and deploy the best tools and expertise.

What Our Clients Say

Stéphane Jacottet

VP Finance Controller, EMEA & LATAM regions at Salesforce
By hiring Natalia as Interim Finance Manager we, at Salesforce, have gained access for six months to specific, deep experience and skill-set that we needed due to the departure of a senior member of our EMEA finance team. In particular, Natalia proved herself to be an independent and objective resource that helped us very effectively to meet this temporary resource gap by providing the necessary bandwidth and relieving the pressure we faced. Besides the day-to-day management of some of our critical controlling activities Natalia has also went out of his way and assisted us addressing particular business challenges associated with some of our maturing processes and advised from experience on a wide range of topics. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Natalia as a senior interim resource.

Raymond van den Berg

Vice President Finance – Intelligent Labels
Natalia is an extremely talented finance professional. During the many times I worked with Natalia she was able to quickly grasp complex problems, analyse them, turn them into actionable plans, and subsequently go the extra mile to help people to achieve their success. She has a friendly and open personality and communicates easily with all layers of the organization. It was truly great working with you on all occasions!

CFO – Hyva Group
I’ve worked with Natalia for multiple years, in two different countries and both as a collegue and as her direct manager.

Also on a more personal basis I believe Natalia is an enjoyable person that is a true asset for any finance organization.

Pascal Franchet

Director, Omega Industries
I have found Natalia to be very pleasant to work with. Her success as a finance- and people leader has admittedly much to do with the strong and effective professional relations she has established with her colleagues, her team, and the wider Punch Group – the owner of the business. But beyond this, Natalia has truly shown to be trustworthy, dependable, accomplished, effective and very competent as our CFO. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Natalia for any senior finance role.

Maud Giroud

Director of Operations, Program Management & Quality – Energy Transition, Digital & Services, Eaton
I worked with Natalia for 1.5 years at Eaton. Natalia was my Finance partner. Our challenge was to build a new business unit toward Energy Transition, Digital & Services. Natalia built the Finance team & set up the reporting capabilities for the Division, across our 3 products lines, in alignment with the Group guidelines. She also shared her vision of how Finance could operate to support the business and started the digitization journey. I appreciated working with Natalia. She was a team player, a visionary but also very close to the field to bring as much value as possible.

I have had the opportunity to work with Natalia during her tenure as the Honeywell Finance and Compliance Manager.

I really appreciated her contributions and leadership while working on my team.

Francois Randin

General Manager and Founder Green Motion
I had the privilege and the pleasure to work with Natalia Meissner between 2021 and 2023 when she was the CFO of Eaton’s Energy Transition, Digital and Services division. Natalia is a very reliable and business-driven finance executive, continually looking for pragmatic solutions to serve the teams. On top of the daily business, Natalia was also in charge of the financial integration of two of my companies, Green Motion and Evpass, which had been acquired by Eaton at that time. I also underline Natalia’s great people management skills.
