CFO Advisory and Cash Flow Forecasting
CFO-level advice without a full-time hire: cash forecasting, margins and pricing, lender readiness, finance team training and systems.
CFO advisory turns accurate books into better decisions. We look at cash, margins, pricing, hiring and growth with you, bring the tax effect into each decision and help your finance function run better: stronger processes, better systems and a better-trained team.
What CFO advisory covers
- Cash: a rolling 13-week cash forecast, working-capital management and an annual budget.
- Performance: margin, pricing and customer-profitability analysis, and a monthly dashboard of the measures that drive your business.
- Capital: lender and investor readiness, due-diligence preparation and board reporting.
- Decisions: hiring, expansion into new states, equipment purchases, owner pay and exit planning, each with the tax effect worked out in advance.
- Finance team: training staff accountants on close, reconciliations, reporting and controls, and setting up processes they can run without you.
- Systems: choosing and implementing accounting software and integrations, and automation and AI tools that cut manual work.
Ways to engage
An ongoing fractional CFO arrangement suits companies that need regular CFO-level leadership, typically between $2 million and $50 million in revenue. Project work suits a specific need: a forecast before a bank meeting, a system migration or training for a new accounting hire. Both are priced as a flat fee agreed in writing.
Frequently asked questions
Can you train our in-house accountant?
Yes. We train staff on month-end close, reconciliations, accruals, reporting and controls, using your own books and systems, and leave written procedures behind.
Do we need CFO advisory if we already have a bookkeeper?
A bookkeeper records what happened. CFO advisory helps decide what to do next: whether you can afford a hire, how pricing affects margin, and what cash will look like in three months.
