FP&A Experts Stabilized SaaS Firm with $15M Funding
The client, a private equity–backed SaaS and services company with $15M in funding, was experiencing rapid growth and internal team transitions. This led to challenges in maintaining financial stability and optimizing their financial operations, thereby affecting their strategic decision-making process. To address these challenges, the company hired fractional FP&A experts to support their finance function. These experts brought in-depth industry knowledge and strategic financial planning capabilities to help restructure the financial operations and provide stability amid the company's rapid growth and internal changes. As a result of engaging FP&A experts, the SaaS company was able to achieve a stable finance function, which facilitated better strategic decisions and growth management. The transition allowed them to optimize their financial operations, aligning with their rapid growth goals.
I've worked with many executive headhunters over the years – some not so great, and some spectacular ones. The Free Agent fall into the latter. Beyond the superior quality and fit of the slate of candidates, they were extremely professional, provided superior candidate overviews, and his follow through and responsiveness was top notch – everything you want in executive headhunters. Highly recommend!

Working with The Free Agent has been an excellent experience. They take time to understand your business, so they can identify candidates that not only deliver, but also align with your culture and business values. Unlike other firms we've worked with, The Free Agent screens and fully vets candidates before recommending them.

I have worked with Beau for several years now, as both a candidate and a hiring manager, and his dedication and attention to detail and skill set is unmatched. In the recruiting and talent acquisition space you will not find a better partner than Beau.

From WebsiteHead of Client Relationships, Americas
We first engaged with The Free Agent about 2 years ago. They have established themselves as trusted advisors to our business and to me personally, often extending beyond talent placement to talking through strategic initiatives. I have interacted with many other firms in the space and The Free Agent is the best, I highly recommend them.

I can’t thank you enough for connecting us with (Name Omitted). He has helped me so much with big picture stuff and blind spots that I have. I am very grateful.

Your level of professionalism, responsiveness, and engagement is far superior to the other firms I am actively engaged with. I rarely have to send you an email to check in and never have to chase you down.

I really enjoyed my conversation with The Free Agent – they are fantastic. A lot of what they have done at [Company name omitted] directly aligns with what we are doing here – overhauling an old system + building and innovating.
