What Our Clients Say
Working with the vcfo team has been incredible. They are very patient and explain things clearly. Thanks to them, this is an entire area of the business that I don’t have to worry about, because I am confident that all things related to our finances and accounting are being handled with care.
In particular, their deep knowledge and extensive experience was instrumental in securing our first government contract, ensuring the government funds are being spent appropriately and strategically, and successfully navigating a good relationship with government agencies. vcfo helped us maximize our initial contract value, and the value of multiple modifications that resulted in significant additional funding as well as an extension of the contract term.
Our vcfo consultants have helped from both a strategic and tactical perspective. This includes everything from forecasting to creating a chart of accounts, to establishing, negotiating, and moderating indirect rate pools.
I know it’s not possible, but I’d keep them on my team forever if I could.
Nicholas Meyerson, Ph.D. / CEO Darwin Biosciences
The findings from vcfo’s v360 identified broader strategic areas for us to focus on and took us out of the day-to-day weeds. We’ve talked about becoming a company of a certain size and seeing that our numbers were further north really brought us a lot of confidence. We now have a roadmap that will help us reach our goals.
Natasha McRee / Co-Owner, Sales & Marketing Maven, Wexel Art
I want to extend our deepest thanks to vcfo for the incredible work that you completed in support of the AxNano team during this recent transaction. You took the initiative, controlled the process and responded quickly to a long list of requests and requirements from the capital provider. We truly could not have achieved this milestone financing without your dedicated support, focus on detail and rapid response as you helped usher us to closure.
Your forensic analysis, forecasting, detailed review and leadership of the bookkeeping and operations staff has been invaluable in light of the complexity of this past year's challenges including an external capital raise and securing matching capital.
Thank you. AxNano is in a much stronger financial position with tighter controls than we were in 2024. We greatly appreciate you.
Doug Speight / CEO AxNano

I have the pleasure of working with Shelley Sedillo and the VCFO consultant team on a daily basis and I couldn't imagine a more supportive and knowledgeable group of folks. Having their guidance as we grow as an organization has been truly vital and much appreciated!
Grace Anderson
We have partnered with VCFO for over a decade, and they have been an indispensable part of our journey as our fractional CFO leadership. Their depth of experience across all financial levels is truly exceptional, consistently providing high-level insights that have strengthened our internal processes and driven the overall success of our company. During a period of exponential growth, their team walked right alongside us every step of the way. We do not always operate the standard or conventional way, and what sets VCFO apart is their ability to truly understand our unique needs and tailor solutions that make practical sense for our specific business model. They introduced software solutions for reporting and forecasting, streamlined our systems, and actively coached and elevated our internal finance team. Their communication is always straightforward and transparent, and throughout 10+ years of collaboration, they have genuinely treated us like family. We could not ask for a better strategic partner and cannot recommend VCFO highly enough to any organization looking for trusted, world-class financial leadership.
