Fractional CFO Services for Growing Founders
Financial clarity around cash, runway, and growth decisions — without hiring a full-time CFO.
A focused working session to understand where your financials are solid, where visibility is limited, and what matters most next.
The Challenge
Growth Gets Harder When Financial Clarity Lags Behind
As companies grow, financial complexity increases quickly. Cash decisions carry more weight. Hiring becomes riskier. And the cost of guessing gets higher.
Many founders aren't struggling because the business isn't working — they're struggling because they don't have clear visibility into the numbers driving their decisions. Without accurate forecasting and financial modeling, even successful companies can face unexpected cash crunches or miss critical growth opportunities.
The gap between operational success and financial clarity creates stress, delays important decisions, and limits your ability to scale with confidence. That's where CFO-level leadership becomes essential.
"The biggest risk isn't making the wrong decision — it's making decisions without understanding the financial implications."

Common warning signs: Uncertainty about runway, difficulty forecasting cash needs, or hesitation on key hiring and investment decisions.

A Simple, Structured Way to Get Financial Clarity
We've designed a straightforward process that builds trust and delivers value at every stage. There's no long-term commitment required upfront — just a clear path from initial clarity to ongoing partnership.
Step 1: Financial Clarity Call
A 60-minute working session to understand your current financial position and growth pressures. We'll discuss your business model, current financial practices, and the specific challenges keeping you up at night.
This isn't a sales pitch — it's a genuine diagnostic conversation where you'll gain immediate insights.
Step 2: Financial Clarity Snapshot
You receive a concise, executive-level summary outlining what's solid, where visibility is limited, and what matters most to address next.
This snapshot serves as your roadmap, highlighting the highest-leverage improvements to your financial operations and decision-making.
Step 3: CFO Growth Partnership
If it's a fit, we move into a staged CFO engagement designed to create clarity first, then support growth over time.
Our engagements are flexible and scale with your needs — from monthly strategic sessions to integrated financial leadership.
No pressure. No long-term commitment before it's useful. Our goal is to earn your trust by delivering value from day one.
