Interim CFO and Finance Director for high-growth technology businesses
Senior finance leadership. PE and VC-backed SaaS specialist with 20+ years of delivering rapid, measurable impact.
01
Rapid deployment
Productive within days, not weeks. I stabilise reporting, controls and compliance within the first 90 days of every engagement — consistently.
02
Exit-ready finance
Revenue quality, clean legal structures, investor-grade data rooms. I build businesses to withstand acquirer scrutiny before the call ever comes.
03
SaaS expertise
ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, cohort analysis. I understand SaaS unit economics deeply and know what a VC-grade board pack looks like at every stage of the journey.
I’m John Leighton, an interim CFO and Finance Director operating via Stretten Limited. I work with PE and VC-backed SaaS and technology businesses that need fast, high-quality financial leadership — whether that’s stabilising a function, preparing for exit, raising capital, or building the infrastructure to support rapid growth.
