Fractional CFO
Leadership for Startups and Growing Business
Growing a company creates financial challenges that bookkeeping and tax preparation alone don't solve.
You need to know where your business stands today, where it's going, how much cash you'll need, and what financial systems must be in place to support the next stage of growth.
Build the Financial Infrastructure. Understand the Numbers.
Make Better Decisions.
CFO-level financial leadership without
the cost of a full-time CFO.
We work with founders and growing businesses as a Fractional CFO and Strategic Finance Partner, providing the financial leadership, systems, reporting, forecasting and decision support needed to build a stronger company.

YYour Business Doesn't Just Need Accounting.
It Needs Financial Visibility.
Many founders reach a point where their business is growing faster than their financial systems.
You may recognize some of these situations:
- You aren't sure exactly how much cash you'll have three or six months from now.
- Your financial reports tell you what happened—but not what you should do next.
- Accounting is always catching up.
- Important financial information is scattered across multiple systems.
- You're making hiring and investment decisions without a reliable financial model.
- You need better control over expenses and cash flow.
- You're preparing for outside financing or investor reporting.
- Your company has outgrown the financial systems you built when it was smaller.
- You know you need CFO expertise, but you're not ready to hire a full-time CFO.

"When these pieces aren't connected, the founder spends time chasing information.
When they are connected, financial information becomes a management tool."
The StartSmart Financial Infrastructure Advantage
Build the System Before the Business Starts Hurting
Many companies wait until financial problems become serious before addressing their infrastructure.
We take a different approach.
The objective is to establish a financial operating system that can evolve with the company.
That can include:
Accounting + Banking + Billing + Payroll + Documents + Reporting + Controls
Working together rather than operating as disconnected functions.
The result is a financial environment designed to provide:
- Better visibility Better controls Less manual work
- More reliable information Faster reporting Better decision support
- A stronger foundation for growth

Decades of CFO Experience Across Complex Businesses
My CFO experience began well before the current fractional-CFO model emerged.
I Build the Infrastructure Behind the Numbers
A company's financial statements tell you what happened.
A good CFO helps you understand why it happened, what is likely to happen next, and what you should do about it.
That's why my approach goes beyond bookkeeping and month-end reporting.
I focus on building the financial and operating infrastructure that gives founders:
- Clear financial visibility — Know where the company stands today.
- Better decision-making — Turn financial information into actionable business intelligence.
- Cash-flow control — Understand where cash is going and what is required to support growth.
- Budgets and forecasts — Establish realistic financial targets and monitor performance against them.
- Integrated business systems — Connect accounting, payroll, billing, banking, reporting, and documentation.
- Scalable processes — Build systems that can grow with the company rather than forcing the company to rebuild them later.
- Executive-level financial support — Have an experienced financial professional helping management think through important decisions.
When you hire a fractional CFO, you need more than someone who can produce financial statements.
You need someone who understands how finance, operations, technology, people, and business systems work together—and who can build those systems so the business can grow.
That is the experience I bring to Granite CFO Group.

Green Dot Corporation | SVP | 2002 - 2006

My Philosophy
Build the financial infrastructure first.
Then use it to help the business grow.
Then use it to help the business grow.
For a startup or growing small business, the goal isn't to create a complicated corporate bureaucracy.
It's to create a simple, integrated Business Control System that gives the founder the information, controls, and financial visibility needed to make better decisions.
That's what I bring to every engagement.
The Difference
You aren't hiring me simply to keep the books.
You're bringing in an experienced CFO who has worked across technology, research, aerospace/defense, manufacturing, financial services, and growing businesses—and who knows how to turn disconnected financial and operating activities into a system that management can actually use.
Granite CFO Group helps founders move from reacting to the numbers to managing the business through the numbers.

What Does a Fractional CFO Do?
The Expertise of a CFO. The Commitment of a Strategic Partner.
A full-time CFO isn't always the right first step.
A Fractional CFO allows a growing company to access experienced financial leadership while maintaining flexibility.
Instead of hiring a full-time executive before you need one, you can bring in CFO expertise for the areas where it creates the most value.
That can mean:
- A few hours each week.
- A monthly financial leadership process.
- A major financial project.
- A system transformation.
- Or ongoing strategic partnership.
The engagement is designed around the company's needs.
Start With a Conversation.
Let's Determine What Your Company Actually Needs
There is no need to begin with a complicated engagement.
We'll start by discussing:
- Where the company is today.
- What's working.
- What's not working.
- Where the company is going.
- What financial challenges are getting in the way.
From there, we can determine whether a Fractional CFO engagement, a financial-infrastructure project, or another solution makes sense.
