Fractional CFO & Business Launch Advisory

Feasibility, formation, and financial leadership — one engagement, from idea to steady state.

Overview

From testing the idea to running the business, under one financial lens.

Most CFO relationships start after a business already exists. Ours starts earlier: with a feasibility study that tests whether the idea is worth building at all, using real numbers instead of optimism. If it holds up, that same financial judgment carries straight into the launch — entity, EIN, opening books, and a first-year budget — and then into ongoing fractional CFO work once the business is running: forecasting, KPIs, and a strategic partner for the decisions that actually move the business. One relationship, applied at each stage exactly when it's needed.

How it works

Our process

1

Feasibility Study

We pressure-test the idea against real numbers — market size, break-even volume, startup capital, and margins — before you spend anything building it.

2

Business Launch & Formation

If the numbers hold up, we form the right entity, get your EIN, and open the books correctly, with a first-year budget built from the feasibility work.

3

Ongoing Financial Leadership

Once you're running, we build the rolling forecast and the KPI dashboard, and stay on as your strategic partner for hiring, pricing, spending, and growth.

4

Capital Readiness

Financials packaged and reported the way a bank, SBA lender, or investor actually expects to see them, whenever that conversation comes up.
