A fractional CFO in your corner — with the accounting team behind them.

Senior financial strategy for owner-led companies, without the full-time hire. Your forecasts, pricing, and biggest decisions are built on financials our own team keeps clean every month.

Fluent in the stack you already use

What a fractional CFO does here

Not a report you skim once a quarter — a senior operator working the levers that actually move your business.

Cash flow forecasting & runway

Know what’s landing in the account next month and next quarter — and exactly how far the cash you have will carry you.

Pricing & margin strategy

Set prices from your numbers instead of gut feel, and see which clients and service lines actually carry the margin.

Big decisions, modeled first

Hiring, expansion, equipment — every major move run through your actual numbers before you commit a dollar.

A seat at your leadership table

A standing voice in the decisions that shape the company — not a vendor you call after something breaks.

What is it costing you to not have a CFO?

The expensive part of going without a CFO isn’t a line item. It’s everything that never shows up on one.

✕

Pricing set by gut feel

Rates that haven’t moved in years, set by what feels safe instead of what your costs and margins actually support.

✕

Unprofitable work nobody spots

A client or service line quietly losing money every month, buried inside a healthy-looking top line.

✕

Growth decisions made blind

Hires, leases, and equipment committed on instinct — with the financial impact discovered after the ink is dry.

✕

Cash surprises

A slow month, a big bill, a late-paying customer — and suddenly payroll is a question instead of a routine.

How the engagement works

A steady rhythm, not a one-time project.

1

A set monthly cadence

Recurring working sessions on the calendar, plus always-on access in between. Strategy is a rhythm here, not an annual retreat.

2

Reporting, reviewed with you

Financials prepared by our team and walked through together every month — what changed, why, and what to do about it.

3

Decisions modeled before you commit

Thinking about a hire, a second location, new equipment? We model it in your numbers first, so you see the ending before you start.

Accountant, controller, or CFO?

A fractional CFO is a senior finance executive who works with your company part-time, providing the strategy layer of the finance function — forecasting, pricing, and major decisions — without the cost of a full-time hire. Here’s how the three roles divide the work.

The honest answers.

What’s the difference between a fractional CFO and a full-time CFO? +
The work is the same — forecasting, pricing, and strategy — but a fractional CFO delivers it part-time, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive. Most owner-led companies need CFO-level thinking well before they can justify a full-time salary. For a deeper comparison, read our guide on fractional vs. full-time CFOs.
Do I need the whole finance team, or just the CFO? +
Start where the pain is. Some companies come to us for CFO strategy alone; others need the accounting foundation rebuilt first. Because our CFOs work with an accounting team behind them, you can start with one layer and add the rest when it makes sense.
How much does a fractional CFO cost? +
One flat monthly fee, quoted up front based on your company’s size, complexity, and the support you need — no hourly billing. For a look at how fractional CFO pricing works across the market, see our pricing guide.
Will you work with our CPA? +
Yes. We keep your financials clean, organized, and current throughout the year, and we act as the liaison with your CPA so nothing piles up at tax time. Don’t have one? We’ll refer you to trusted tax partners.
