Fractional CFO services for growing
small businesses with $10M+ in revenue
“If we’re making sales, then where’s all the profit?”
“How can it be this hard to tell where our money’s going?”
“We’ve grown so much, but why does it seem like we’re still operating at the entry level?”
You can feel it: your business is growing too big to keep running it by gut.
And your accountant isn’t trained to help you level up.
But with a Fractional CFO, you get the financial expertise you need to set up for your next stage of success.

Trusted by business leaders
to share practical, accessible advice
The reason your money feels chaotic isn’t that you aren’t up to managing it.
It’s that your scrappy financial systems are no match for your success.
Your growing business is generating lots of revenue—and even more confusion.
But you’re not the first to discover that success doesn’t make business any simpler.
Because as a company grows in size, its needs grow in complexity. So if you’re over $10M in yearly sales and climbing, then there’s a whole slew of financial habits it’s time to set aside.
You can’t go on like this
- Asking bookkeepers and accountants for strategic advice
- Jerry-rigging QuickBooks to do things it wasn’t designed for
- Making major decisions (like hiring) without calculating their likely ROI
- Getting by without regular forecasts, or maybe even a real budget
- Just leaning on the classic strategy “make more money than you spend”
Graduate to the next level of managing your money

What we’ll achieve
Solve your nagging money mysteries
It’s stressful living with constant doubt. It’s also unnecessary.
Pricing, risk, debt, cash flow, profitability. Through regular meetings with an expert, you’ll get clarity on the mysteries you thought you had to live with.
Straighten out your systems
Upgrade to the right software, transition to the right reporting methods, and pick out the right KPIs.
Voilà: now you know what’s going on at a glance.
Bring more data into your decisions
Never make another major financial move blindly, whether you’re hiring, leasing, or taking out loans.
Instead, run the numbers, use them to guide you, and feel confident you can justify everything you do.
Get better results
You’ve got the sales. But how are your profits?
We’ll find where you’re getting squeezed so you can cut unnecessary costs and apply those funds somewhere with higher ROI.
Match your strategy to your vision
Instinct isn’t enough if you want to control your company’s destiny.
We’ll develop short- and long-term plans that reflect your priorities, so you end up with the company you intended to create.
