Fractional CFO services for professional services firms

Growing revenue and losing money at the same time

It is the defining problem of a professional services firm. Revenue climbs, the team grows, and the bank balance does not move. Standard bookkeeping will not tell you why, because the answer sits in the gap between what you bill and what delivery actually cost.

A fractional CFO closes that gap. Which engagements make money after real delivery cost. Which clients are quietly unprofitable. Whether your rates still hold. Whether the next hire pays for itself or just adds overhead.

What we look at first

• Utilization and realization. What percentage of paid hours is billable, and what percentage of billed hours actually gets collected.
• Engagement profitability. Margin by client and by project, after the cost of the people delivering it.
• Pricing. Whether your rates reflect what the work costs to deliver today, not what it cost three years ago.
• Capacity. Whether you can carry the next hire, and what has to be true first.
• Cash runway. Whether payroll is covered through the next ninety days.

How the engagement works

A fixed monthly fee, an experienced finance leader supported by a finance team, and a defined end. You are not buying hours and you are not buying a permanent seat. You are buying the answer to a specific set of questions, and then the function handed back to you.

Founders Finance Group is a fixed-fee CFO firm, not a CPA firm. Founded by Logan Thompson, a Florida licensed CPA, the firm provides advisory and finance leadership only.
