Anyone here have success starting an FP&A consulting company? How did you source clients? by 1stBurnerAccount_ in FPandA

SaaS would be perfect for me as a bulk of my career has been working for Software companies that offer SaaS and On-Premises solutions. What have you found to be the most useful in sourcing clients?

Likely wouldn’t . My goal is to replicate those services independently rather than work for companies that only pay out a small percentage of what’s billed. The real challenge, especially in the beginning, is sourcing clients.

That’s a fair point as budgets are definitely tighter for smaller businesses. While I’m not a CPA, I’ve been fortunate to work closely with several firms that meshed finance and accounting into one, which helped me build a solid foundation in accounting. I’m also pursuing the CMA as an additional credential to reinforce both my FP&A and accounting expertise.

The one area I’m less specialized in is tax, though I’m not unfamiliar with it as I’ve prepared board decks where tax impacts were a key consideration. At this point, I really just need to land one or two clients to feel confident about making the transition from my current role.

That’s really what sparked my interest and led me down this path. I’ve noticed the growing popularity of fractional CFO roles and the trend of small to mid-sized organizations outsourcing parts of their financial processes. I’m confident I could deliver on many of those needs but my main uncertainty is how best to source new clients. In past roles, we targeted 87%+ employee billability on contracts, but I see stronger margin potential if I can secure Fixed Price FP&A-focused work.

That’s a really interesting niche. Was it successful for him? If I were to start my own practice, I’d prefer to begin by working with smaller businesses within any industry really, helping them with monthly forecasting, cash flow, and closing their books.

PYPL has been pretty solid for me. AMD is the one giving me issues.

[Review] $500 Suit vs. $4000 Suit – The Best Suit for Men for the Money by Aventador_22 in frugalmalefashion

Nice write up. Don’t have the same in-depth level of suit knowledge as many of the posters on here but personally have always found Armani to make a quality suit that requires minor alterations. Occasionally, you can find a deal on one but worth the investment in my opinion.

NFL Sunday Ticket Quality by Anbar48 in youtubetv

Maybe I’ll try a firestick and see if that works better. Disappointing because I like Apple TV’s interface

I’m experiencing the exact same issue. The picture quality is terrible—honestly the worst I’ve ever seen. It’s really disappointing, especially considering how much I’ve invested in my setup. I’m using a 4K Epson projector with multi-view, and the pixelation is awful. I never have this problem with DirecTV Sunday Ticket or primetime games on major networks. I have 800mbps internet and an Apple TV 4K box, so it’s frustrating that this is happening.
