Outsourced FP&A services, embedded in your business.
Outsourced FP&A, sometimes called FP&A as a service or fractional FP&A, gives you budgeting, forecasting, and the analysis behind your decisions, without a full-time hire. Satinwood embeds a dedicated FP&A operator full-time in your business, with the seniority of a local hire, at a fraction of the cost.
What an outsourced FP&A operator does.
FP&A owns what happens next, the plan and the analysis behind it. A Satinwood operator runs the following end to end, inside your own tools.
Budgeting and planning
Builds the annual budget and the operating plan, and keeps them connected to what the business is actually doing.
Forecasting
Owns the rolling forecast so leadership always has a current view of where the numbers are heading.
Variance analysis
Explains the gap between plan and actual, in plain terms, so decisions are based on why, not just what.
KPIs and dashboards
Sets the metrics that matter and builds the dashboards leadership and the board actually use.
Scenario modeling
Models the big decisions, hiring, pricing, raises, so you can see the outcome before you commit.
Board and investor reporting
Prepares the reporting pack investors expect, on time, with the story behind the numbers.
A dedicated FP&A operator, full-time.
Always senior
FP&A operators qualified and experienced, with real ownership inside global firms.
Dedicated to you
Full-time and dedicated to your business, with the time to own the planning, not a few hours a week across ten clients.
Finance only
We place finance and nothing else. A finance firm, not a generalist marketplace.
A fraction of the cost
The seniority you need for far less, because the talent sits in a lower-cost market, not because the work is junior.

Built for growing US and Canadian companies.
You raised and need real reporting
Investors expect a forecast and a reporting pack, and the founder cannot keep building it in a spreadsheet.
The model lives in one person's head
Planning depends on a founder or a CFO who has no time, and the business needs it owned.
Scaling and flying blind
The business is growing fast and decisions are being made without a forecast you can trust.
Preparing to raise or sell
You need a model and a reporting pack that stand up to diligence, built before you are in the room.
