CFO & FP&A
We serve lower-middle-market companies that need a real finance function: owner-operated businesses ready to professionalize, and newly acquired companies that need one fast. A lot can go wrong before, during, and after an acquisition, and just as much goes wrong without forward cash flow visibility in the everyday. We've sat on every side of it: $2.5B+ in deals advised, interim finance leadership inside PE-backed portfolio companies, and first-100-days done right. Experienced hands. Accurate financials you can trust.
Companies are making critical decisions without forward-looking financial visibility.
Finance functions are reactive, focused on reporting, not driving performance or cash flow. The result: cash flow volatility, margin erosion, and unrealized EBITDA upside.

The real cost of poor financial visibility.
Even well-run companies encounter these scenarios without forward financial visibility. The difference is whether you see them early or react late.
Overhiring Without Cash Visibility
$80K+ emergency cash shortfall
Situation. You hire 3 new techs in March because revenue is up. But you didn't model payroll, equipment, training hitting before the new revenue collects.
Result. You're short $80K in May. Emergency line draw at 12%.
The Project Cash Gap
$150K out-of-pocket float for 6 weeks
Situation. You take on a $2M project but your draw schedule doesn't cover sub payments in weeks 4 to 8.
Result. You're floating $150K out of pocket. One delayed payment from the GC and you're scrambling.
The Bank Surprise
$37K/yr in extra interest
Situation. Your bank asks for covenant compliance. You don't have it. Your controller scrambles for 3 weeks.
Result. The bank gets nervous, and your rate goes up 75bps on a $5M line.
