The Credential
Tunneys worked with the group CFO of a fast growing SaaS PLC (c£30m) to professionalise their FP&A and financial forecasting and to create a basis for assessing various strategic options available for investment and their respective funding requirements for presentation to banks for debt-refinancing.
How We Helped
The rapid pace of technological change coupled with societal changes and pressures brought about by the global pandemic have presented new ways of working and new opportunities for incumbent professional services providers.
Prior to engaging Tunneys, SaaSCo* identified a range of potential strategic initiatives promising to future-fit the business to out perform competition and secure bold growth through increased market share. The board and bank financing the business required professional modelling to identify and explain the best combination of strategic initiatives, their financing requirements and their expected returns over the short and long term.
Tunneys reviewed, updated and professionalised the businesses FP&A and financial forecasting modelling and facilitated the appraisal of a collection of strategic investments for presentation to the bank. This would allow the group CFO to understand the requirements and value creation potential of various separate and combined investments and to present a robust proposal to the bank.
