Executive Profile
Will Baccich is a partner in the Dallas Fort Worth office of SeatonHill. He is an experienced financial and operational strategic planner who has served as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, at multiple privately held midmarket firms. Will is enthusiastic about creating a culture of strengths, where team members are empowered to succeed and drive results. Working in the SaaS space, he led business and financial strategy to exit and sale to a private equity buyer. He is frequently sought after by CEOs, Founders, and Mergers and Acquisitions firms to support their financial and executive team strategies.Will
builds and deploys AI-enabled financial systems — in Python, SQL, and largelanguage-model tooling — that automate reporting, forecasting, and capital planning, delivering enterprise-grade financial infrastructure at fractional-CFO cost. He has also served as the internal financial lead for an owner navigating a company sale, providing the modeling, diligence, and analysis that supported outside counsel and tax advisors through close.
Key Experience
M&A Transaction Support: As the internal financial executive for a privately held seller, Will provided the financial leadership for the transaction. He built the funds-flow and net-working-capital models, prepared and defended the financial data room, reconciled the buyer’s quality-of-earnings findings against company records, and analyzed the purchase agreement’s financial terms — including the valuation model, working-capital adjustment mechanics, earnout structure, and tax allocation provisions — supplying the analysis the owner’s legal and tax advisors relied on through closing.
AI-Enabled Financial Systems: Across his fractional CFO engagements, Will develops and deploys production financial software, including automated pipelines that pull live data directly from accounting systems, custom board-reporting engines, ASC 606 revenue-recognition automation, and SaaS-metrics dashboards. The technology stack — Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and large-language-model tooling on cloud infrastructure — lets a single fractional CFO deliver the reporting depth of a full finance team.
VC-Backed SaaS Company: As Fractional CFO of a rapidly growing SaaS company, Will owns forecasting, planning, and the cash and capital requirements of a hardware-enabled deployment model. The business installs equipment ahead of the recurring revenue it generates, so capital expenditure timing — not profitability — is a key constraint. Will built the weekly cash flow discipline that manages it: modeling capex commitments and vendor payments against the customer collection cycle, renegotiating payment terms to compress the gap between deployment spend and cash receipts and tying purchasing decisions to contract-backed demand. He rebuilt the per-unit economics that underpin pricing, exposing deployments that were not covering their delivered cost and establishing the margin discipline behind the current pricing model. Will helped secure additional financing that boosted total capitalization by 30%, and collaborates with the CEO and Board to report, monitor results, and prepare for future opportunities and challenges.
Managed Services / Cloud Services: As founder and CEO of a technology company specializing in disaster recovery and business continuity, Will built an infrastructure business as much as a software one. He financed and capacity-planned the company’s owned hardware in colocated data centers — modeling storage, bandwidth, and refresh-cycle capex against planned growth — and built the managed service provider channel that drove roughly 60% of revenue, including partner margin structure and gross margin per contract. The company scaled to over 1,000 mid-market customers across the United States and Canada, achieved consistent doubledigit revenue growth, and was named to the Inc. 5000 list in three consecutive years. Will established the processes for monthly financial reporting; cash, working capital, and debt requirements; and revenue and earnings projections. He also led the exit strategy and the subsequent sale to a private equity buyer at over 11x EBITDA.
Manufacturing Company: Will served as a consultant for a manufacturing company specializing in drilling equipment for the oil and gas industry, designing and implementing the systems supporting a Theory of Constraints methodology to identify production bottlenecks, synchronize production to customer demand, and drive continuous improvement against lead time, throughput, and inventory metrics. The company grew from $10M to over $100M in revenue with matching growth in earnings.
