Access Finance and Accounting Expertise on an as-needed basis

Our mission is to make companies stronger by providing fractional access to senior-level financial expertise.

How We Help You Succeed

Whether navigating a crisis or entering a high growth stage,  companies need the strategic advantage of sound financial leadership and experience. Whether developing your strategic financial plan or designing appropriate reporting and forecasting, our expert team will help you achieve clarity and optimize growth.

Optimized Actionable Financial Reporting

Increasing shareholder value requires clear visibility into the potential levers that drive growth. Late or unreliable financial reports can hinder your decision-making process.

We will develop insightful reporting and key performance indicators for your internal and external stakeholders, including bankers, investors, and partners. Our team will give you the clarity needed to make informed, strategic decisions that drive your business forward and optimize value.

Increase value with Strategic Forecasting and Planning

We develop a well-defined one-year operating budget linked to a multi-year strategic forecast. This comprehensive approach prepares you to share forecasting with stakeholders, banks, boards of directors, potential funding sources, and valuation firms. 

Additionally, we will create 13-week cash flow projections and a rolling quarterly view, ensuring you know exactly where your money is and your liquidity position. This empowers you to mitigate risk, manage cash flow effectively, and drive sustainable growth and value creation.

Understand Your Position with Competitive Benchmarking

Knowing how your business compares to competitors is crucial for identifying areas of improvement. We help you understand where you sit today compared to your industry peers.  This exercise informs business leaders about areas of opportunity and allows them to make decisions and course corrections that drive operational efficiency and increase shareholder value.

Navigate Compliance Complexities with Confidence

Compliance with regulations and tax filings can be overwhelming, especially if you have a complicated capital structure or operate in multiple locations. Our experienced team will ensure you meet all payroll, taxes, and banking requirements, providing peace of mind and safeguarding your business from potential audits, unnecessary delays, and the risks that accompany noncompliance.

Growth may come from transactions, either acquisitions or mergers. Our team can provide operationally oriented Quality of Earnings Reports, support negotiations, assist with any required capital raise, reports and design and lead pre and post integrations. To support organic growth and value optimization, we use our proprietary tool, v360® Enterprise Value Roadmap, to identify areas of value optimization and guide recommendations critical to this stage of the business life cycle.
