What Lang Consult Gmbh does

Lang Consult GmbH is a Hamburg-based fractional CFO and transaction advisory firm, founded in 2021, that delivers AI-augmented financial services to start-ups, scale-ups, and small and medium enterprises concentrated in the sports, hospitality, and SaaS sectors. Its four core service lines are Strategic Finance Leadership (budgets, forecasts, financial models, cash flow management, and scenario planning delivered as a fractional CFO engagement), Finance Function Modernisation (redesigning finance operations and implementing AI-era automation and tooling), Fundraising Support (investor narrative, projections, data room structuring, and AI-driven scenario modeling), and Valuations & Red-Flag Reports (independent business valuations and risk reports enhanced with AI-driven anomaly detection and stress testing).

The technology layer combines human financial expertise with applied AI: AI-powered financial dashboards that surface insights in plain language, real-time updating financial models with pattern-learning forecasts, automatic anomaly detection, and stress-testing capabilities. There is no evidence of proprietary AI models, in-house ML research, patents, or AI-specific engineering hires; the firm appears to consume third-party AI tooling and wrap it in consulting deliverables. The Managing Partner is also the sole disclosed practitioner, with CFA and CVA certifications and more than 20 years of experience at worldwide consulting firms and an international sports marketing agency.

Lang Consult operates on a direct engagement, founder-delivered model with revenue from subscription/recurring fractional CFO retainers plus episodic professional services fees for modernisations, fundraising, and valuation work. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm markets through its website, LinkedIn thought leadership under Jürgen Lang, and membership in the worldwide AI Finance Club. It is privately held with no external funding and a headcount of 1-10, operating primarily in Germany.
