A seat at the table, not a full-time salary
You get a CFO for the decisions that need one: cash, hiring, pricing, lenders, and growth. The engagement is scoped to the hours the business actually needs, usually a set number of days each month.
Expert Financial Guidance
How Our CFO Professionals Can Help Your Small Business Thrive
As a small business owner, you're likely juggling multiple responsibilities, from managing day-to-day operations to strategizing for future growth. Financial management is crucial but can often take a backseat to other pressing needs. This is where our team of CFO professionals comes in. We provide expert financial guidance and support, acting as your virtual CFO to help your business flourish.
Fractional CFO
A CFO on the days you need one.
A fractional CFO is the same job as a full-time chief financial officer, worked part of the month. We sit with the owner, not beside the bookkeeper only. The point is decisions: what to spend, what to delay, what to ask a bank for, and whether the plan still fits the cash.
What a month looks like
We close the books with your accountant, review the numbers, and bring you a short report: cash on hand, what is coming due, where margin moved, and the two or three decisions that should not wait.
Who it is for
Owners of small and midsize companies who have outgrown a bookkeeper but do not need, or cannot yet justify, a full-time CFO on payroll.
How we start
A first look at the last year of statements, the current cash position, and the questions you are already losing sleep over. From there we agree on a monthly rhythm and stay on it.
Services
The rest of the CFO desk.
Fractional leadership is the ongoing relationship. These are the pieces we also take on, on their own or inside that monthly work.
Fractional CFO
Ongoing leadership for the numbers. Forecasting, cash, board-style reporting, and a person who will tell you what the statements mean before you sign the next commitment.
Taxes
Planning before the return is due. Entity choice, estimated payments, owner compensation, and coordination with your CPA so tax season is a filing, not a surprise.
Trusts and estate planning
How the business, the trust, and personal assets fit together. We help you see the cash and tax effect before documents are signed.
Investment advice
Where surplus cash should sit, what the business can afford to invest, and which opportunities do not earn their keep.
Cash flow and working capital
Collections, payables, inventory, and a weekly view of cash so payroll and vendors are not a guessing game.
Funding and lenders
Packages for banks, investors, and programs. Projections that match the statements, and a story a lender can underwrite.
Accounting and reporting
Cleaner close, fewer spreadsheets, and reports an owner can read. We tighten the process your bookkeeper already runs.
Pricing, cost, and deals
What a job or product really costs, whether the price still works, and a clear look at a merger, acquisition, or sale before you commit.
