FOUNDING COHORT · 10 SEATS
Build a working agent-augmented finance function in 90 days.
A guided build for SaaS founders and finance leaders — close, reconciliation, and board reporting running on AI agents, with the guardrails and human judgment layer your auditor will accept. You don't leave with frameworks. You leave with it running.
Join the waitlist — founding members get first access when enrollment opens mid-September.
No spam, no obligation. Waitlist members see pricing and dates before anyone else.

SaaS — the companies I work with as a fractional CFO
You can start this alone. Finishing alone is the hard part.
The tools are real — agents can run reconciliation, draft the close, assemble the board pack. But most DIY rollouts stall at one agent, for three structural reasons: nobody enforces the sequencing discipline, the guardrail muscle doesn't exist yet, and no one owns the judgment layer once the model starts sounding confident.
The Lab exists to remove all three. A tested 90-day sequence, controls built in from day one, and me in the room while you build.
THE PROGRAMME
The 90-day build
Phase 1 · Weeks 1–4
Pilot the close
One agent, one workflow. You parallel-run it against your real close until the output matches your team's, line for line. You learn the method on the highest-value workflow you have.
Phase 2 · Weeks 5–8
Layer in reconciliation
Second agent in. Guardrails get formalized — folder scoping, review gates, audit trail. Your close cycle starts compressing, and you build the controls muscle for real.
Phase 3 · Weeks 9–12
Ship the board pack & measure
The agent your CEO sees. You walk into a board meeting with a faster, cleaner pack — and the measured results to fund the rest of the stack.
What you get
Weekly live build session with the cohort (capped at 10 so everyone gets airtime)
Async review of your actual artifacts — your pilot results, prompts, and guardrail setups, every week
The complete template library: the prompt pack, the rollout playbook, the guardrail checklists, the parallel-run scorecards
A private cohort channel for the 90 days
Founding-member pricing and direct access that won't exist once this scales
WHO IT'S FOR
Built for operators, not spectators
✓ This is for you if
You're a founder or finance leader at a $5–50M ARR SaaS company
You want leverage, not headcount — controller-grade output without the $200K hire
You'd rather build the system right once than patch a broken rollout later
You're willing to put in 3–5 hours a week during the 90 days — this is a build, not a lecture series
✕ Not for you if
You're looking to fully automate finance and remove the human. That's not what this is — it's a fast path to a restatement, and the opposite of the method. The whole point is augmented: you, with leverage, owning every number that ships.

THE INSTRUCTOR
Who's in the room with you
Alex Stojanovic — fractional CFO for $5–100M ARR SaaS companies and founder of Fiscallion. I was part of the finance team behind Usercentrics' climb to €100M ARR, and today I build agent-augmented finance functions hands-on with my clients — the same close, reconciliation, and board-pack workflows you'll stand up in the Lab.
I write The Startup Finance newsletter and share the playbook publicly with 80,000+ finance leaders on LinkedIn. The Lab is that playbook, done with you instead of read by you.
QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
When does the cohort start?
The founding cohort kicks off mid-September. Waitlist members get first access — and with 10 founding seats, first access matters.
How much does it cost?
Founding members join at $1,950 — roughly half what the next cohort will pay ($3,900). The discount is real and it closes when the 10 seats fill. Exact pricing and the enrollment link go to the waitlist before anyone else sees it.
How much time does it take?
Plan for 3–5 hours a week, heaviest in the first two weeks while you set up. The work happens in your own books — by the final phase, the system typically gives back more time than the program takes.
Do I need to be technical?
No. Everything runs in plain English — no terminal, no code. If you can write a clear email to a junior analyst, you can run these workflows. The Lab teaches you the delegation discipline, not programming.
What tools do we use?
The build runs on Claude (including Cowork, the desktop app for non-developers). The method — sequencing, guardrails, judgment layer — transfers to any agent stack, so you're learning the operating system, not a vendor.
Can I bring my controller or a team member?
Yes — and you probably should. The judgment layer needs a named owner, and the person running your close day-to-day is often the right one. Team pricing details go to the waitlist.
What do I actually have at the end?
A running, agent-augmented finance function: close piloted and verified, reconciliation layered in with formal guardrails, and a board pack shipped to your actual board — plus the controls documentation to show your auditor.
What if it doesn't work for my setup?
The first four weeks are a parallel-run against your existing process by design — nothing in your real workflow is at risk while you validate. If the method isn't fitting your stack, we'll know early, and we'll talk.

10 founding seats.
First access goes to the waitlist.
The founding cohort is small on purpose — I'm in the room, reviewing your actual build, every week. That doesn't scale, which is exactly why it's worth being in the first ten.
Pricing and dates go to this list first, before enrollment opens mid-September.
