What we can do for your organizationSoftware-as-a-Service
Software-as-a-service (Saas) is a business model that relies on selling recurring licenses that run on relatively low marginal costs. In combination with fast growth, Saas has long made up one of the favorite investment categories for tech investors.
Saas finances demistified: how to prepare for funding or exitIT Services
The IT Services model evolves primarily on the delivery of value-added services on an hourly or contracted basis. Many IT Service companies struggle to properly understand their margins and combine their value-adding services with the (re)sale of thirdparty or proprietary software.

On FIRE.
Finance, Risk and Economics make up the 3 essential and intertwined components for any sound financial strategy:
- Finance: the means that fund the organization and the proper registration of the organization’s in- and outflow of resources
- Risk: anything that may cause the organization to deviate from its desired trajectory
- Economics: the economical rules by which the organization operates – such as pricing, margins, cost levels, and their interdependencies
Business types have their own economics. For a SaaS company the MRR/ARR figures are considered the most important figures; in IT services hour utilization is key.
That is why FIRE believes the adequate financial expert is not only a finance expert but also carries the nessecary industry knowledge. FIRE is founded by domain experts in these industries and are ready to help you from the first conversation.
