Financial Services Built for Venture-Backed SaaS & AI Companies
Total Finance Resolver provides institutional-grade financial services for SaaS and AI companies operating in venture capital environments. We help founders and investors navigate fundraising, diligence, valuation pressure, and scaling decisions with financial systems that hold up under scrutiny.
Our work is designed for companies where capital efficiency, credibility, and decision accuracy directly impact outcomes.
Why Most Startup Finance Breaks Under Investor Scrutiny
Most startups appear financially sound—until investors start asking second-order questions. Forecasts don’t reconcile. Burn efficiency can’t be defended. Valuation logic collapses under sensitivity analysis. Documentation gaps surface late.
This is not a tooling problem.
It is a structural finance problem.
By the time founders realize this, leverage is already lost. Term sheets tighten. Rounds slow. Hiring decisions compound burn. Confidence erodes.
Our services exist to prevent that moment.
Which Services Do You Actually Need?
Investor Readiness & Fundraising Preparation Services
Investor Readiness Assessment for Series A & Growth Rounds
Investor readiness is not a feeling. It is a measurable state. Venture investors evaluate startups using a consistent set of financial and operational signals long before they care about storytelling.
The Investor Readiness Assessment provides a structured view of how your company will be judged before a Series A or growth round.
What Investors Evaluate (And We Surface)
-
Burn multiple and capital efficiency
-
Runway durability under downside scenarios
-
Margin structure and scalability risk
-
Revenue quality and durability
-
Diligence exposure and documentation gaps
Primary use cases:
-
First institutional meetings
-
Fixing negative or vague investor feedback
-
Deciding whether to raise now or delay
This is often the entry point for founders who want clarity before committing capital or time.
7-Day FP&A Diagnostic (Cash Clarity Sprint)
Identify Cash Leaks, Model Risk, and Valuation Damage
The FP&A Diagnostic is a focused, short-cycle audit designed to answer one question:
“Where is financial risk hiding right now?”
In seven days, we examine the core financial mechanics of the business and surface issues that erode valuation or increase deal friction.
What the diagnostic uncovers:
-
Hidden cash flow leakage
-
Broken assumptions in forecasts
-
Metric inconsistencies investors will flag
-
Reporting gaps that delay diligence
Typical triggers:
-
Preparing for fundraising
-
Board pressure around burn or runway
-
Considering finance hires or outsourcing
-
Conflicting internal metrics
This is not consulting theater. It is a decision tool.
FP&A Pods for Forecasting, Reporting & Runway Management
Replace Single-Person Risk with a System
Hiring one finance leader creates key-person risk. Fractional CFOs often deliver strategy without execution. FP&A Pods replace both with a dedicated finance unit operating as a coordinated system.
Each FP&A Pod includes:
-
Strategic finance leadership
-
Controller-level governance
-
Analyst-level execution
What Pods own end-to-end:
-
Forecasting and scenario planning
-
Board and investor reporting
-
KPI architecture and dashboards
-
Burn multiple optimization
-
Operating cadence and accountability
Best suited for:
-
Post-Seed to Series B SaaS and AI companies
-
Teams scaling headcount or spend
-
Founders needing consistent financial truth
Pods are designed for continuity, not dependency.
FP&A Pods (Outsourced Financial Planning & Analysis)
Unlike a traditional Fractional CFO who only provides high-level strategy, or a generic Outsourced FP&A service that only delivers spreadsheets, an FP&A Pod is a dedicated, multi-disciplinary team that integrates strategy, compliance, and execution into one agile unit.
Financial Modeling, Valuations & 409A Support
Models Built for Diligence, Not Demos
We build financial models designed to survive scrutiny. Not presentation spreadsheets, but operating models aligned with how VCs, growth funds, and acquirers evaluate risk.
Scope includes:
-
Operating and revenue models
-
Scenario and sensitivity analysis
-
Valuation logic and benchmarking
-
409A inputs and equity pricing support
Used for fundraising, M&A preparation, and board decision-making.
Technical Due Diligence for AI Investors
Independent AI Architecture & Scalability Review
What we review:
-
Code architecture and system design
-
Model scalability and deployment risk
-
Data pipeline robustness
-
Technical defensibility and bottlenecks
What investors receive:
-
Clear risk summaries
-
Non-technical decision briefs
-
Flags on scalability and execution risk
This service is often used before term sheets or final investment decisions.
