Book a WalkthroughSound familiar?
You're making six-figure decisions on gut feel
You don't know your real margins or your real cash position. Which projects actually make money? Hard to say. And the decisions keep getting bigger.
You've outgrown your bookkeeper but can't justify a $250K CFO
There's a gap between basic bookkeeping and real financial leadership. You're sitting in it, and that's where expensive mistakes tend to pile up.
Revenue is growing but profit isn't keeping pace
More revenue should mean more profit. When it doesn't, the issue usually isn't accounting. It's a lack of financial strategy.

What is a fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO works with your business part time, so you get real CFO help without paying for a full-time hire. We get your numbers current, forecast cash flow, dig into profitability, and sit in your leadership meetings.
How is this different from a bookkeeper or CPA?
A bookkeeper records transactions; a CPA handles taxes. We take that data and help you use it: when to hire, what is actually profitable, where money goes next. We work alongside both.
What size company do you work with?
Typically $750K to $30M+ in annual revenue. Most clients fall between $1.5M and $10M, past the bookkeeper stage but before a full-time CFO makes sense.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. After onboarding, everything is month to month. Clients stay because the work speaks for itself.

It's free, it takes about 30 minutes, and you leave with something you can use whether or not we ever work together.
Send the books first
The last two years of P&Ls and a current balance sheet. That's enough for us to walk in with something real, not a blank page.
Goals first
We talk about the business, what you're building toward, and how it feels from where you sit. The numbers only mean something against that.
You leave with a punch list
What's working, what's leaking, and the first step we'd take. Yours to run with, or to hire us for.
We'll be honest
If we're not the right fit, we'll say so. We'd rather tell you that than sell you a seat you don't need.
