Fractional CFO

A financial leader on call — at the level you need.

Once your compliance and bookkeeping are handled, the next gap is leadership: someone to read the numbers, forecast the cash, build the parent-ready reporting, and sit across from your board, lender, or foreign head office. That's a CFO — and you can have one part-time, for a fixed monthly fee.

For foreign-owned U.S. companies, global startups, and cross-border groups · from $2,250/mo

What a fractional CFO adds

  • Reporting your foreign parent or board can actually read — in U.S. GAAP, explained.
  • Cash-flow forecasting and a rolling runway, so nothing sneaks up on you.
  • A financial voice in the room for fundraises, lenders, and big decisions.
  • All built on books we already produce — no hand-off, no translation loss.
Is it time?

When a business outgrows "just the books."

Bookkeeping tells you what already happened. A CFO tells you what it means and what to do next. These are the moments that signal you've crossed that line:

A foreign parent wants real reporting. The head office needs quarterly numbers they can interpret and trust — not a raw accounting-software export in a format nobody abroad can read.
Cash is getting hard to see. You're large enough that timing — receivables, inventory, payroll, tax — needs a forecast and a 13-week view, not a gut check.
You're raising or borrowing. Investors and lenders expect a financial model, clean diligence, and someone credible to defend the numbers on a call.
You're flying blind on the metrics. Revenue is growing but you can't see margin by product, channel, or entity — and decisions are being made on instinct.
The work

What the engagement actually delivers.

Real financial leadership — scaled to your size, delivered remotely, and tuned for the cross-border realities most CFOs never deal with.

Reporting & the close

A disciplined monthly close and financial statements, plus a quarterly package formatted and explained for your board or foreign parent.

Cash & forecasting

Cash-flow forecasting, a 13-week rolling cash model, and scenario planning so you see the runway and the pinch points early.

Multi-currency consolidation

Clean consolidation across entities and currencies — the U.S. sub and the foreign parent reconciled, not guessed at.

KPIs & margin

The dashboard that shows margin by product, channel, and entity — the view that turns "we're growing" into "here's where we make money."

Fundraise & lender support

Financial models, data-room prep, and a credible voice on diligence calls when you're raising a round or negotiating a facility.

Decision support

The financial half of your big decisions — pricing, hiring, expansion, intercompany structure — modeled before you commit, not after.

Levels & fixed monthly fees

Pick the depth of involvement you need.

Priced by the depth of involvement and the deliverables you need each month — not by an hourly meter. Every level is a fixed monthly fee, quoted in writing, and you can step up as you grow.

Not sure which level fits? We'll right-size it on a free call. Most clients start at Lite or Standard and step up around a raise, an acquisition, or a jump in complexity — and step back down when the busy stretch passes. You pay for the level of partnership you need, nothing more.

Why this is different here

A CFO built on the books we already keep.

Most fractional CFOs inherit numbers from a bookkeeper they've never met and spend the first month untangling them. Because we produce your compliance and bookkeeping in-house, the CFO layer sits directly on data we already stand behind — no hand-off, no reconciliation gap, no "the books were wrong."

The foundation

Compliance & bookkeeping

Form 5472, 5471, FIRPTA, the international filings, and the monthly books — produced in-house, accurate, and audit-ready. This is where most of our clients start.

The CFO layer on top

Forecasting, parent-ready reporting, consolidation, and decision support — built straight onto the foundation, by a CPA who already knows your numbers cold.

Honest about the boundary. A fractional CFO is financial leadership and analysis — not day-to-day data entry, and not a substitute for your tax or audit engagement. We'll tell you when a need calls for a full-time hire, a controller, or a specialist, rather than stretching a CFO engagement to cover work that belongs elsewhere.
Questions, answered

Fractional CFO — the common questions.

How is this different from bookkeeping or a controller?

Bookkeeping records what happened; a controller makes sure it's accurate and on time. A CFO is forward-looking — forecasting, strategy, reporting to stakeholders, and the financial side of big decisions. Many clients have us do all three layers, but the CFO work is the judgment layer on top.

Do I have to use you for bookkeeping too?

It's strongly preferred, because the CFO work is only as good as the numbers underneath it — and when we produce both, there's no reconciliation gap. If you have clean books elsewhere we can discuss it, but the most reliable engagements are the integrated ones.

What makes this "cross-border"?

The reporting, consolidation, and forecasting are built for companies with a foreign parent or foreign subsidiaries — multi-currency consolidation, parent-readable U.S. GAAP packages, and an understanding of how the international tax filings interact with the financials. Most fractional CFOs don't work in that world; this practice lives in it.

Can I change levels later?

Yes — that's the point of tiers. Most clients start at Lite or Standard and step up temporarily around a fundraise, an acquisition, or a busy stretch, then settle back down. Changes take effect at your next monthly cycle with 30 days' notice.

Is the fee really fixed?

Yes. Each level is a fixed monthly fee for a defined scope of deliverables and a set level of involvement, quoted in writing — not an hourly meter you have to watch. If a one-off project falls outside your level, we scope and quote it separately before starting, so you're never surprised by a bill.
