Iter Advisors

Iter Advisors is a Barcelona-based outsourced finance leadership consultancy for tech startups, supporting French founders from pre-seed to Series B. Its model brings in senior fractional CFOs who are operational from day one, with rare expertise across France and Spain. This is the topic most frequently raised in feedback from FTB community founders who have taken the step.

When to seek support

The need typically emerges when a founder moves from “doing everything myself” to “I need reliable figures to raise funding”. VCs and business angels look at your numbers before they even meet you. Rather than hiring a full-time CFO, an executive costing €90,000–€120,000 per year including employer contributions, the fractional model provides access to senior expertise while keeping the budget compatible with an early-stage startup’s burn rate.

What the support covers

• Cash flow management and monthly reporting
• Fundraising preparation: data room, financial model and investor deck
• French and Spanish taxation, a critical issue for French founders based in Barcelona
• Investor reporting after fundraising
• Administrative and legal structuring during growth phases

Who it is for

French startups in Barcelona from pre-seed to Series B, and founders structuring their finance function before or during a funding round. The consultancy reports 85 companies supported and €100 million raised.
