Do you feel like you're running your business blind?

Imagine having confidence in every business decision you make.

That's what it feels like to work with an experienced Fractional CFO.

What you get:

Calls to unlock key insights and answers, plus monthly manpower to support financial reporting and management. Example projects:

  • High-Level Business Strategy

  • Managing Accounting Teams

  • Fundraising Planning

  • FP&A & Reports

  • Company Goals & OKRs

  • Hiring

Who it’s for:

FracCFO isn't right for every startup, but it might be right for you if:

  • You run a business with 3 or more employees

  • You don't have a full-time CFO you trust

  • Your lack of financial experience is holding your business back

  • You feel frustrated with Accountants not giving you what you need to grow

How it Works:

PHASE 1 - Discovery

➤ CFO Diagnostic

Is this you?

  • "What the HECK is wrong with my business, and how do I fix it?"

  • “I want help, but I don't even know who to hire!”

  • “I feel CRAZY. I just want someone to give me a straightforward answer!”

What if you had absolute clarity? What if you had a tactical step-by-step roadmap to business success built specifically for your team?

If this sounds like you, you may need a CFO Diagnostic.

Also known as The Magic Wand Project to clients who've tried it, a CFO Diagnostic is a lightning-fast, surprisingly affordable deep-dive into the guts of your business resulting in a detailed how-to guide on the top 5-7 steps your business needs to 1) grow and 2) stop making you insane.
