Why Do You Need a CFO?

Sustainability

We provide the expertise to ensure your company will remain profitable (and even thrive) during internal business challenges or economic downturns.

Growth & Stability

We help create and guide a long-term financial strategy to ensure stability and growth.

Credibility

Having a CFO on your team gives your company additional credibility that is important to investors, lenders, and customers.

Expertise

We act as partners to owners who have a plan and vision but need a financial expert on their team who focuses on optimizing growth and avoiding financial catastrophe.

What Do We Provide?

It’s important to engage a CFO early for company growth and stability. A CFO provides the leadership to grow in the good times and make it through the challenging times.

Business owners are often worried about the cost of hiring CFO services, but the truth is, it’s more costly in the long run to sacrifice growth. CFO services are important no matter what stage your business is at, and we tailor our services based on your unique business situation.

Professional Financials

Meaningful and professional data is important to make good decisions and to communicate with financial institutions.

Financial Strategy

A CFO provides guidance to inform strategic decisions that drive business growth.

Procedures

A CFO creates repeatable procedures for your financial processes, because loss of information is risky, inefficient, and expensive.

Leadership

A CFO provides direction to help with the tough decisions.

I've had an excellent experience working with Eric. I've engaged Eric as my fractional controller to bring systems, organization and leadership to my bookkeeping team and he has done just that. He is direct, to the point and gets things done in a timely fashion. He leads our monthly financial meetings and presents all the information in an easy to understand fashion. I would highly recommend.
