The next decision matters
more than the company size.

01 / OWNER-LED

Fractional CFO for Small Business

Your business has outgrown basic reports. You need a clearer view of cash, margins and what the operating plan will require.

  • Cash flow and working capital planning
  • Pricing, profitability and staffing analysis
  • Budgets and recurring management reviews
02 / EARLY-STAGE

Fractional CFO for Startups

You are managing runway, testing the business model or preparing credible financial information for a funding conversation.

  • Burn rate, runway and capital requirements
  • Unit economics and growth scenarios
  • Investor forecasts and use of funds
03 / EXPANDING

Fractional CFO for Business Growth

New teams, locations or products bring new commitments. Understand the financial impact before expanding the operating model.

  • Hiring, capacity and new-location scenarios
  • Capital planning and financing analysis
  • Management reporting as operations expand
04 / LEADERSHIP GAP

Teams Without Senior Finance Leadership

Your records are being maintained, but management needs someone to interpret the results and guide financial planning.

  • A regular financial review cadence
  • KPI dashboards and performance analysis
  • Support for owners, management and boards
Common reasons to engage

Recognize any of these?

01 / CASH

Sales are healthy.
Cash still feels tight.

Collections, inventory and operating commitments make the cash position difficult to predict.

02 / MARGINS

You know revenue.
Profitability is less clear.

You need to understand which products, customers, services or locations contribute to the result.

03 / COMMITMENTS

A major decision
is on the table.

Hiring, expansion, funding or an acquisition requires a financial assessment before you commit.

Questions, answered

Find the right fit
for your business.

Understand the role, scope and working relationship before choosing your next step.

Do you require a minimum company revenue?

Revenue alone does not determine the fit. We consider complexity, the decisions ahead, reporting quality and ongoing workload. A focused project may suit some smaller businesses better than a monthly retainer.

Can you help a business under cash flow pressure?

We can assess the cash position and build forecasts and scenarios for management decisions. The engagement depends on urgency, available information and the level of support needed.

Will we need to change our accounting software?

A software change is not automatically required. We first assess whether your existing records and systems can support the agreed reporting and analysis.
