The gap

Nobody on your team owns
“what should we do next”

A bookkeeper records what happened. A CPA files what happened. A full-time CFO costs $200K+ a year. So at most growing companies, the biggest financial decisions — hiring, pricing, expansion, debt belong to no one but you, with no one that has a birds-eye view of your business helping you make decisions. That's the seat we fill.

Responsibilities commonly found in Fractional CFO engagements

Monthly close, every month

Books closed on a clear timeline, every month.

Management reporting & KPIs

Clear KPIs curated specifically for your business.

Cash flow forecasting

A rolling view of runway, so cash is never a surprise.

Budgeting & scenarios

Targets you can steer by, and the “what if” math before big moves.

Finance stack ownership

We run and integrate finance tools so the data is clean at the source.

Bill pay & A/R visibility

Vendors paid on time, receivables tracked, with minimal owner time.

Year-round tax strategy

Optional add-on, integrated with your books.

A partner on call

And eyes on the numbers between every meeting. You stop thinking about the accounting; we don't.

Who it's for

Owner-led businesses running roughly $1M–$15M, whatever your industry. We go especially deep with HVAC & home-services contractors, creative & marketing agencies, and IT resellers & MSPs.

HVAC

~$6M/year multi-entity HVAC contractor

Came to us with

A messy balance sheet, unreconciled accounts, a lack of clear visibility into profit across entities, and an in-house team stretched thin.

What we do

Close the books in 6 business days a month, process ~200 bills through an approval workflow we built, and standardized the chart of accounts so inter-entity eliminations happen automatically.

Where they are now

Internal admin time cut 50%, decisions made off reporting fast enough to act on — and no more copy-pasting into spreadsheets.

IT reseller · MSP

~$10M/year IT reseller & MSP

Came to us with

An owner spending 5–10 hours a month closing the books by hand. Stuck with a P&L that didn't separate revenue by service line, and a payroll setup they'd outgrown.

What we do

Took over the monthly close and cut the owner's accounting time by 90%, and rebuilt the P&L across 2,500+ SKUs to surface true service-line gross margin.

Where they are now

The owner is out of the books, with up-to-the-minute numbers to fuel business decisions.

DESIGN AGENCY

~$10M/year design & production agency

Came to us with

A fast-growing business with a lot of moving parts, an unclear tech stack, and a need for project tracking. Lacking a deeply integrated financial partner.

What we do

Track profitability by project, manage contractor and vendor bill pay, built custom budgeting apps, and run weekly strategy calls so nothing slips.

Where they are now

Owners out of the back office and focused on clients, with clear visibility into where to focus their business.

Pricing

Flat monthly. Scoped to you.

Most engagements run $1,200–$6,000/month. What moves the number: transaction volume, number of entities, reporting depth, and meeting cadence. You'll have an exact figure after one call — and it won't change mid-year because we don't bill hourly.
