Executive finance when it matters most.

Overview

CFO-level financial leadership — without the full-time cost or the search.

A full-time CFO costs $250K–$400K per year. Most small businesses don't need one full-time — they need one when it counts. Andy steps in as your fractional CFO: attending leadership meetings, managing lender relationships, building financial models, and making high-stakes financial decisions alongside you. For businesses in distress, the turnaround engagement applies the same rigor under urgency — cash flow stabilization first, structural recovery second.

What's Included
Weekly cash flow management (13-week rolling forecast)
Lender & investor relationship management
Financial model & scenario planning
Debt restructuring & covenant negotiation
Cost reduction & margin recovery plan
Investor readiness package
Exit planning & valuation preparation
Crisis triage & stabilization (turnaround clients)
The Process

HOW IT WORKS.

01
Rapid Assessment
We conduct a 72-hour financial triage: cash position, debt covenants, receivables, payables, and burn rate. For turnaround clients, this is the starting gun.
02
Stabilize
We immediately address any liquidity threats — renegotiating terms, accelerating collections, deferring non-critical spend — while preserving lender relationships.
03
Restructure
We rebuild your financial architecture: capital structure, reporting cadence, internal controls, and the forecasting model that drives decisions going forward.
04
Lead
Andy attends your leadership team meetings, interfaces with your accountants and lenders, and serves as a true financial partner — not just an advisor.
Fit

WHO THIS IS FOR.

Business owners who need senior financial leadership now — whether scaling through a capital raise, navigating a covenant breach, managing a distressed cash position, or preparing a business for sale. Also ideal for fast-growing companies that have outgrown their bookkeeper but aren't ready for a full-time CFO hire.
