Finance for Payments.

Bridges provides core services for payments and fintech companies:

• Fractional CFO — strategic guidance, board and LP reporting, fundraising assistance, financial audit and exit preparation
• FP&A — financial modeling, annual planning and budgeting, analysis, operational KPIs, SaaS metrics
• Accounting — bookkeeping cleanup, monthly close, revenue recognition, Stripe reconciliation

Over two thirds of our clients trust Bridges with all things finance and, therefore, bundle multiple services — monthly accounting, FP&A, and CFO advisory. We offer three tiers of services depending on stage:

• Tier 1: Advisory CFO, from $5,000 per month. It includes fundraising support, cash flow & runway management, unit economics analysis, and metrics. The tier is best for SaaS companies with $3-5M in annual revenue, preparing for their Series A round.
• Tier 2: CFO + FP&A, from $10,000 per month. It includes comprehensive financial analysis, forecasting, planning, and quarterly investor updates and board deck preparation. The tier is best for SaaS companies with $5-15M in annual revenue, actively investing in growth.
• Tier 3: CFO + FP&A + Exit, from $15,000 per month. This is purpose built for SaaS companies on their path to exit. We ensure complete data room readiness.

Accounting can be added to all tiers and is priced separately, starting from $1,750 per month.

Additionally, Bridges offers one-time engagements, typically 2–4 weeks, from $10,000 each:

• Financial Modeling — investor-grade three-statement models to support fundraising and strategic capital allocation
• Financial Diligence — data room setup and coordination; audit of financial statements and forecast model; review of documentation, systems, and controls; narrative and deck preparation

All services are built specifically for companies in the payments industry, including vertical SaaS & AI, B2B payments, and payments infrastructure.

Bridges is exclusively built for payments and fintech companies. Our team of B2B SaaS operators bring:

• Experience in financial services, healthcare, insurance, and other regulated verticals
• Deep expertise in Stripe Connect, Adyen, Finix, and other payment service providers; interchange economics; embedded payments optimization; payments reconciliation; and usage-based billing
• Strategy and books from one team — CFO, FP&A, and accounting always aligned
• No equity, no benefits, adjustable with 30 days' notice

Bridges works with payments and fintech companies between $3M and $30M in revenue. These companies are typically B2B SaaS processing payments, running two-sided marketplaces, banking, AR collection platforms, insurance and healthcare vertical SaaS companies.

Bridges also supports VC-backed companies in B2B payments — seed through Series B.

• Seed: investor-grade model, data room, and clean books
• Series A: rigorous burn, GPV tracking, and unit economics as capital gets deployed
• Series B: transition, exit prep, or cash crunch management

Payments and fintech SaaS companies should hire a fractional CFO when business complexity, such as interchange accounting, gross vs. net revenue, and GPV forecasting, demands involvement of senior operators, with experience in the payments and fintech verticals — typically $3M+ revenue.

• When the business is transitioning from founder-led sales to its first leadership team and financial decisions require more rigor
• Before raising outside capital: model, KPI narrative, and diligence-ready financials
• Following a fundraise: burn, payback, and net revenue margin tracked as capital deploys
• Transition: pivot, leadership change, or cash crunch

Bridges fractional CFO engagements start from $5,000/month. They include:

• A live cash model, so runway is a number, not an argument
• Fundraise guidance before you're in the room
• Diligence-ready before anyone asks
• One CFO session a month, and you leave knowing what to do

The majority of Bridges customers – $5M to $15M in annual revenue – rely on Bridges for all things finance, including monthly accounting, FP&A, and CFO oversight. These engagements run between $10,000 and $15,000 per month compared to over $50,000 it would cost to hire a similar team in house.

All engagements are scoped to your stage, revenue complexity, and time commitment, and can be scaled up or down with 30 days' notice.
