Question 1

What does a fractional CFO actually do?

Accepted Answer

A CFO is the person who watches over the money side of your business, so you're not guessing. Fractional just means you get one part-time — a few days a month instead of paying a full salary. In plain terms: we keep an eye on your cash, show you which jobs actually make money, give you a heads-up before a tight month hits, and help you think through big decisions like hiring or buying equipment. You stay in charge; we make sure the numbers are working for you.

Question 2

How is this different from my bookkeeper, accountant, or tax preparer?

Accepted Answer

Bookkeeping, accounting, and tax keep the past accurate and compliant — important work we don't replace. Our focus is forward: cash flow, margins, and the decisions in front of you. It's the difference between recording the score and helping you win the game.

Question 3

Do you replace our accountant or bookkeeper?

Accepted Answer

No. We work alongside your existing accounting and tax team, and often coordinate with your banker, bonding agent, and other advisors. Good accounting is the foundation we build on — we add the strategic layer on top.

Question 4

Who do you work best with?

Accepted Answer

Growth-oriented construction and specialty-trade owners, typically $5M–$30M in revenue, who already have accounting in place and are feeling the financial complexity that comes with scaling. The best fit is an owner who's coachable, decisive, and ready to run the business on real numbers.

Question 5

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

We work as an ongoing advisory partner — not by the hour or the task — so the relationship is built around outcomes rather than a meter running. The right structure depends on your size and what you need, and we'll walk through it together.

Question 6

Will you make the decisions for us?

Accepted Answer

No — and that's intentional. The decisions, and the business, stay yours. Our job is to improve the quality of your judgment with better visibility and perspective, so the big calls feel like strategy instead of a gamble.
