SERVICES

Guiding you from insight to impact.

Start with a fixed-fee Financial Checkup to see where you stand. Move into an ongoing partnership when you want us surfacing the insight and turning it into decisions that move your business forward. Or bring us in for a defined-scope project when a specific moment calls for it.

START HERE · FIXED FEE

The Financial Checkup

A comprehensive, one-time review of your financials and systems: the fastest way to find out whether your numbers are working for you or against you.

Full cash flow & margin analysis
KPI & reporting-systems review
Risk & leakage assessment
Written recommendations, plain English
60-minute debrief call to walk the findings
Turnaround
2–3 weeks

From kickoff call to final recommendations. No lingering engagement, no long onboarding.

Limited monthly availability. We take on a small number of Checkups each month to keep turnaround fast.
Bonus

The Momentum Credit

Decide to move from your Checkup straight into an ongoing partnership within 30 days of your debrief, and your Checkup fee rolls fully into your first month. You're not paying twice to get moving; you're already ahead before month one starts.

ONGOING PARTNERSHIP

Three levels of involvement.

The same core discipline at every level. What changes is how closely we're woven into the business.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The first 90 days.

DAYS 1–30

Discovery & baseline

We learn the business, map the numbers as they actually are, and set the first KPI scorecard and cash baseline.

DAYS 31–60

Systems & cadence

Reporting cadence goes live. We tighten the systems that were quietly costing you time or money.

DAYS 61–90

Full working rhythm

Strategy calls, forecasting, and decision support run at full cadence. You're operating with a financial partner, not a report.

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT

Fractional CFO vs. bookkeeper vs. controller.

Records transactions
Manages AP/AR & close
Builds financial statements
Cash flow & scenario forecasting
Strategic decision support
Bank & investor reporting

We work alongside your existing bookkeeper or controller, not in place of them.

SITUATIONAL

Custom Projects

Defined-scope work that doesn't fit a tier: M&A support, system implementations, board prep, turnaround analysis, financial modeling, or whatever the moment requires.

RISK, REMOVED

Our satisfaction guarantee.

One guarantee, applied wherever you are in the relationship: if you're not seeing value, we refund your most recent payment, no questions asked.

Fresh off a Checkup

If the Checkup doesn't give you a clearer picture of the business, that fee is your most recent payment, and we refund it in full.

Deep into a partnership

Say you're four months into an ongoing engagement and the value isn't there anymore. We refund month four's retainer, no matter how long you've been a client.
