Engagement
Typically 2–6 days per month
Best fit
$2M–$50M revenue
Outcome
Forecast accuracy and cash confidence
A controller tells you what happened. A CFO tells you what is about to happen and what to do about it. Most companies between $2M and $50M need the second capability long before they can justify the salary.
A fractional CFO engagement gives you that capability on a recurring cadence, with the same person in the seat month after month.
We build a rolling thirteen-week cash forecast tied to the actual mechanics of your business — collections behavior, payroll timing, debt service, seasonality, and planned capital spend. It updates weekly and it is the single most useful artifact most owners have ever had.
An annual operating model with monthly detail, driver-based so assumptions can be tested rather than guessed. When you are weighing a hire, a location, an equipment purchase, or a line of credit, we model the downside case first.
Monthly reporting packages with KPI dashboards, variance analysis, and a written narrative. If you carry bank debt, we handle covenant tracking and lender communication so those conversations stop being stressful.
Clean, credible financials are the single largest driver of transaction readiness. Everything a fractional CFO installs — accrual accuracy, defensible add-backs, forecast discipline — compounds into a higher multiple when you eventually sell.
Case study — Specialty contractor
A $12M contractor was profitable on paper and constantly short on cash. Job-level margin was unknown and the credit line was permanently drawn.
Days sales outstanding dropped 21 days, the line was paid down, and the company self-funded a second crew within nine months.
