Fractional CFO services
When a fractional CFO makes sense, what the role covers month to month, and how it differs from an accountant or a finance director.
Business turnaround
The first weeks of a cash problem, the levers that release money, and how to have the difficult conversations early enough to matter.
Asset-based lending
How ABL works, what lenders look for in a submission, and when it beats a conventional term loan or an equity raise.
Business sales and acquisitions
Preparing a business for sale, what buyers test in diligence, and how to structure a deal that survives completion.
Start with a conversation, not a proposal.
A 30 minute intro, ideally face-to-face, no charge and no obligation. Bring the problem you are carrying and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.
