Anthon Manucheri — Senior Finance & Operations Leader

How I help

Three ways I create value.

Most of my work sits where finance meets operations. In a permanent role or a fractional one, it usually comes down to one of these. Fractional and advisory work runs through my company, AMone, where I take on selected assignments.

Finance leadership

A finance lead who owns the numbers and uses them to steer. Planning, forecasting, pricing and board reporting, with a seat at the leadership table and hands in the work when it needs doing.

Driver-based model, budget & rolling forecast
Board, investor & PE-owner reporting
Cash, collections & unit economics
Pricing & sales compensation

The rebuild

For companies that have outgrown their processes. I map how the business actually runs, then rebuild the close, the forecast, the systems and the revenue data so the team can own them.

Month-end close & controls
ERP, CRM & data warehouse
RevOps: one process from lead to cash
AI automation of recurring finance work

Financing, M&A & integration

Getting ready for a raise, a loan or an acquisition, then making the deal work afterwards across finance, systems and people.

Financing cases, scenarios & bank talks
Due diligence & deal projections
Post-acquisition integration (ERP, payroll)
Entity & employment set-up across countries

Selected impact

Real outcomes. Real numbers.

A few results from my recent roles. All figures are approximate and in USD.

TimeXtender · PE-backed SaaS

$0.9M

Yearly burn turned into positive cash flow

Main driver taking the company from about $0.9M yearly burn to sustained positive cash flow over 2025, through cost control and by cutting average collection time from ~80 to ~31 days.

TimeXtender · Forecasting

±2%

Cost forecast variance, down from ±30%

Rebuilt the forecast on live data from Business Central, the data warehouse and HubSpot. Costs now land within about ±2% and revenue within about ±5%.

Winningtemp · VC-backed SaaS

$4.3M

Operating loss turned into profit

Built the scenario-based self-funding case the board chose over a C-round. The operating result went from about −$4.3M to profit within two years, and a ~$1.1M convertible loan was repaid in cash.

Winningtemp · Cost control

$540K+

Annual run-rate opex savings

Reviewed every contract and SaaS tool with each department, renegotiated or exited them, and introduced a purchase-order process. Staff costs excluded. The same work later inspired pactkeep.

4D Gruppen · Construction & property

$10M

Construction financing secured

Proposed the group's first own development, built the numbers behind it and secured a ~$10M Swedbank loan in two tranches. The project was 100% pre-sold before construction and completed profitably.

ManpowerGroup · Enterprise clients

$200K/yr

New revenue from a control process

A reconciliation process for 15+ enterprise clients lifted invoicing accuracy from ~80% to 99%+, was sold as a paid service and uncovered ~$500K of missed invoicing, half of it recovered.

Ask what the CV doesn't say.

chat.am1.se is an AI assistant that answers questions about my experience, using documents I've written and checked myself. Ask how I rebuilt a forecast, what an integration involved, or whether I can work US hours.

It only answers from those documents. Anything it can't answer, like offers, salary or references, it passes on to me.

Ask my resumeExample

Has Anthon integrated acquired companies?

Yes. At TimeXtender he set up two acquired companies, Exmon Software in Iceland and BiBuilders in Norway, in Business Central, including chart-of-accounts mapping, currencies and historical data. Through AMone, he also handled the payroll integration of two agencies acquired by Precis Digital Group.

Can he work US hours? What has he built with AI? What's his notice period?

Sweden

Earlier roles

Team Lead / Junior Controller at Manpower Production, Interim Accountant at Greenway Logistics (my first full finance role), and production and logistics roles, mostly via ManpowerGroup, including Ericsson.

Own companies & advisory

What I've built and where I've been brought in.

My own companies, and advisory work through AMone that has run alongside employment since 2019. Most client work is under NDA, so it's described at a high level.

2019 — Present

AMone (AM1 AB)

Founder, advisory & fractional finance

My own advisory company, run as a sole trader from 2019 and as AM1 AB since 2021. Today it's positioned as a part-time finance partner for SaaS and digital companies: unit economics, planning, readiness to raise, and finance and payroll set-up. I take on selected assignments.

2026 — Present

pactkeep AB

Founder, pactkeep

An early-stage start-up I've built solo. It helps ops and finance teams stay in control of their contracts after signing: renewal dates, notice periods and renegotiation. It grew out of the contract review behind the Winningtemp savings.

2023 — 2025

Precis Digital Group

Payroll integration & payroll controller

After Precis Digital Group acquired the B2B agencies Banner Boys and The F-Company, I moved their staff into the group's payroll and benefits, then stayed on a monthly retainer as payroll controller.

4D Gruppen companies

Advisory & finance restructuring

Ad hoc projects and analysis for the 4D companies after I left, including restructuring the finance department into an outsourced function.

Through ManpowerGroup, Jefferson Wells and Vaco by Highspring, work for enterprise clients including ExxonMobil, E.ON, DHL, DSV, Schenker and Volvo Cars. At Volvo Cars, the work saved about $10K a month and recovered about $100K in overpaid invoices.

Board work

Governance, alongside the day job.

Small, non-executive seats, taken on to give back and to see how boards think.

Oct 2024 — Present

Dot Digital AB

Board member

Board member of a small digital marketing company since it was registered. I advise on financing and compliance and sign off the annual report.

2022 — 2024

Board member, maintenance

A housing cooperative with 88 apartments and about $15M in loans. I built its first maintenance plan, with a 50-year horizon, and aligned the maintenance fund with it. I stepped down when I moved to southern Sweden.

SaaS and tech first, but open to most industries. I work best with leadership teams that want someone who sets direction and also does the work.

About

I make things better than I found them.

That goes for both people and businesses. What gets me going is solving tough problems: digging into everything from business processes to financial detail, spotting inefficiencies fast, and actually dealing with them.

I bring energy, analysis, speed, and a clear view of where a company should be heading. I look at the whole picture, question what's not working, and get things moving, always with a focus on business value and, more importantly, the people running the business. The numbers only matter when the people can use them to make better decisions.

For me, finance has always been the fastest way to understand a whole business, not the end goal. Managing the numbers only gets you so far. The real value is in connecting the financial picture to how the business actually operates, which is why most of my roles start in finance and grow into commercial strategy, process and structure.

On the side, I'm building pactkeep, my own early-stage start-up for keeping control of contracts after they're signed. So I know the founder's seat from the inside, not just the boardroom.

Senior finance & operations leadership, trusted well beyond the numbers.
