About Spruce Ridge Partners
Strategic Finance, Right When It Matters Most
Spruce Ridge Partners supports Seed to Series B startups at the stage where financial clarity unlocks growth, but dedicated finance leadership is often still out of reach.
I started this practice around a simple belief: there is a window where strategic finance can multiply a company’s momentum, align teams, and sharpen investor narratives. But when missed, a lagging finance function can curtail growth, shake investor confidence, and delay fundraising for the next round.
That’s where Spruce Ridge steps in. I work as an embedded finance partner to build durable, scalable finance functions to help the firm stay focused, fundable, and in control. From forecasting and KPI tracking to reporting and operational systems, Spruce Ridge plugs in early so founders can move fast without losing visibility.
Meet the Founder
Nick Reddecliff
Hi, I’m Nick Reddecliff, founder of Spruce Ridge Partners. I work with early-stage teams to build finance functions that serve the pace and priorities of growing businesses.
​
Before launching this practice, I spent several years in strategic finance at a healthcare technology platform as part of a ~$30B enterprise. I led budgeting, investment planning, and cross-functional initiatives tied to cost savings.
Over time, I found myself more drawn to the energy of smaller teams with greater pace, proximity to impact, and the chance to build something new. That shift led me to roles in M&A, growth strategy, and business development, where I broadened my perspective beyond finance and worked closely with founders and operators navigating scale.
​
Today, I serve as a finance partner to a Series A SaaS company, strengthening their FP&A function and preparing for future growth. I launched Spruce Ridge to bring that same level of support to founders looking to unlock growth, tell a sharper financial story, and move faster with confidence.
​
I'm a graduate of Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and studied Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh. Outside of work, you’ll often find me hiking with my wife, Rachel, or on stage doing improv.
Focus Areas
Forecast & Financial Modeling
Plan with purpose. I build flexible models and scenario forecasts that predict runway and burn rate, test growth levers, and make informed capital allocation decisions.
Streamline Finance Operations
Bring consistency to your back office. I organize accounts, tighten reporting workflows, and explain what’s changing in the numbers — and why.
KPI Tracking & Performance Reporting
Know what’s moving your business. I set up dashboards and reporting rhythms to track key metrics and deliver insights to your team, investors, or board.
Strategic Projects & Advisory
Support for high-stakes moments: fundraising, pricing changes, or reorganization. I act as a sounding board and execution partner when finance needs to step up.
