SaaS Consultant
A SaaS consultant helps a B2B software company fix the mechanics of recurring revenue: pricing and packaging, activation, churn and unit economics, then leaves the operating model behind. The work is measured on NRR, LTV to CAC and ARR. A standard engagement is $8,000 per month for 20-25 hours, with a 3-month minimum.
This engagement fits a funded B2B SaaS company between $2M and $15M ARR where growth has become inconsistent and nobody can say which lever moved it, from early validation through to expansion-stage and global expansion. If three of the four lines below describe your quarter, the fit is strong.
Stage
Post-MVP through Series A and beyond, with paying customers and uneven growth.
Revenue
$2M to $15M ARR, with CAC rising and net revenue retention starting to hurt.
Symptom
You cannot tell whether you have a product problem or a sales problem, and pricing feels like a best guess.
Decision
You are about to spend another quarter on acquisition when the leak may be retention.
Not for you if you are pre product-market fit, want a growth marketing agency, or need someone to run campaigns rather than diagnose why the economics do not work.
Every figure below is from shipped, measured work in engagements led by Sivan Kadosh as Fractional CPO. None of it is a projection.
Sivan is an excellent product manager, product leader and team member. He cares passionately about delighting customers and is highly capable at all levels from strategic direction to writing detailed documents. I would recommend him 10/10 to any company.
Sivan Kadosh
Fractional CPO. 18+ years leading product in B2B SaaS, real-estate tech and fintech. You work with me, not a bench.
A SaaS consultant provides specialised expertise to help software companies build, launch and scale a cloud business. Unlike a general business consultant, the focus is the levers that are specific to SaaS: recurring revenue, churn, customer acquisition cost and net revenue retention. Most of the work is diagnosis before prescription.

Most SaaS companies I meet are trying to out-market a product problem. The funnel gets more spend, the pricing page gets another test, and retention keeps leaking. Diagnosis comes first: I would rather tell you the acquisition budget is fine and the activation step is broken than sell you three months of work on the wrong end of the funnel.
If the gap is product leadership rather than growth mechanics, read about the fractional CPO engagement instead.
You get one senior operator inside your leadership team for 20 to 25 hours a month, accountable for a named set of outcomes rather than a document. That covers the diagnosis, the changes that follow from it, and the metrics that prove whether they worked.
