Financial leadership for the business, and a plan for its owner

Most clients start with one and add the other. Fractional CFO work keeps the business on track; fee-for-service planning makes sure the owner is, too.

For businesses

Fractional CFO

For owner-managed businesses that have outgrown their bookkeeper but don't need, or can't justify, a full-time CFO. You get the same judgment on a part-time basis, at a fixed monthly fee.

You might need this if

  • Big decisions get made off the bank balance
  • Your lender wants better reporting than you can produce
  • Growth is outrunning your systems
  • A succession or sale is on the horizon
