Updated: May 13, 2022

Longtime Consero client, Scott Sanders, CFO of Broadway Technology, a software and fintech company backed by Long Ridge Equity, BC Partners and HPS Investment Partners, discusses his experience with Finance as a Service and describes the value it brings to his role as CFO and to the organization overall.

During the discussion, Scott tells us how Consero’s Finance as a Service model enables him to:

  • Free his time from managing the back-office so he can spend most of his time adding value to CEOs and Investors
  •  Keep the cost of the F&A function low and reduce business continuity risk with Consero managing all the hiring, training and backfilling all finance talent
  • Easily pass an audit and quickly turn around large info requests during due diligence
  • Have “less worry” because of Consero’s checks and balances and a solid process for closing the books
