About Consero

Consero was founded in early 2006 with the goal of providing small and mid-market companies with a superior alternative to building and maintaining an in- house finance function.

Consero is the pioneer of the Finance as a Service (FaaS) category. They are disrupting the way PE and VC-backed companies and Investment Management firms set up and scale their finance department. Consero’s FaaS model combines cutting edge technology, processes, and people in a fully-managed solution to deliver precise financial visibility and improved operational scalability.

"PE companies tend to require enterprises to operate at a faster pace than that to which they might previously have been accustomed, and that's something a CFO has to deal with."
