CFO Lite

Fast, expert clarity — when you need it now.

Not every financial challenge needs a long-term engagement. Sometimes you need a sharp mind, a fast read, and a clear path forward on one specific decision.

Maybe you're staring at a cash-flow crunch. Maybe you're prepping for a loan and need lender-ready numbers fast. Maybe you're stuck on a pricing call, an acquisition, or a big hire and want an objective, expert second opinion before you commit.

CFO Lite is project-based financial consulting for exactly those moments — senior-level analysis and a documented next-step plan, without the long-term commitment of an ongoing CFO.

Questions

Good to know

What if the project runs longer than estimated?+

We quote upfront on scope. If the work expands, we tell you before going over — no surprise bills.

Do I need to provide financial statements?+

Yes — P&L, balance sheet if you have it, and relevant supporting documents. The more complete, the faster we move.

How quickly can you start?+

Often the same week. For urgent needs we can usually begin within a couple of business days.

Can this become ongoing support?+

Absolutely, and many do — but there's no pressure. We're happy to stay project-based.
