The Problem

You're scaling fast—$5M to $40M in revenue over four years—but your finance function is still running on spreadsheets and manual processes. You need strategic financial leadership to build FP&A capabilities, prepare for institutional capital, and serve as a thought partner to the CEO.

But you can't justify a $300K+ full-time CFO hire yet. You're stuck in no-man's land: too big for a bookkeeper, too small for a traditional CFO. Without proper financial infrastructure, you're flying blind—unable to forecast accurately, unprepared for due diligence, and missing opportunities for capital-efficient growth.

The Solution

The CFO Accelerator provides on-demand access to strategic financial leadership without the full-time commitment. We build your financial infrastructure from the ground up: driver-based forecasting models achieving 90%+ accuracy, automated reporting delivering insights in 5-6 days, and board-ready materials that position you for capital raises.

We serve as your fractional CFO during critical growth phases, providing strategic guidance while building the capabilities your team needs to sustain momentum. When you're ready for a full-time hire, we help you recruit and onboard them. Think of us as your CFO until you need a CFO.
