Know which jobs actually make money.

A fractional CFO is a part time chief financial officer: real financial leadership for companies too big to fly blind, but too small to pay $200K+ for a full time finance executive.

Built for repair & replace trades. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, restoration. You run the crews. We watch the money.

“DON’T I ALREADY HAVE A GUY FOR THIS?”

Your CPA files your taxes. Your bookkeeper records the past. Nobody’s steering the year.

YOUR BOOKKEEPER

RECORDS WHAT HAPPENED

Enters the transactions, reconciles the accounts, keeps the books current. Essential. And we work with yours, not against them.

YOUR CPA

LOOKS BACKWARD, ONCE A YEAR

Files the return, keeps you compliant, minimizes the tax bill on money you already made. Keep them. We’ll coordinate with them every quarter.

YOUR FRACTIONAL CFO

LOOKS FORWARD, EVERY MONTH

Which jobs make money. Whether you can afford that hire, that truck, that loan. What happens to cash three months out, before it happens.

We don’t replace your bookkeeper or your CPA. We’re the missing third seat, the one asking what the numbers mean for the next decision, not the last tax return.

HOW IT WORKS

Quoted like a job. Because it is one.

Step 1 · 30 min · Free

The Introduction Call

You meet Jason, not a sales rep. He walks you through how the firm works, you tell him what’s going on in the business, and you grill him with whatever you want. By the end, you both know if there’s a fit.

Step 2 · 1 to 2 weeks · $500

The Diagnostic

Like running a diagnostic before quoting the repair: we take read only access to your books, then sit down together while Jason asks the questions, face to face. You leave that meeting with a finalized written quote: tier, monthly fee, onboarding cost and timeline.

Step 3

Onboarding

We clean up what needs cleaning, stand up your reporting, and get the systems talking. The foundation gets poured once, properly.

Step 4

Monthly Partnership

Standing financial leadership. Your numbers, your questions, your decisions, every month. Direct with Jason, no handoffs.

Monthly engagements start at $2,500. The $500 diagnostic is the only cost before you decide, and it credits fully to your onboarding fee when you sign within 30 days.

NO PREP NEEDEDCome as you are. No documents, no spreadsheets, no homework before the Introduction Call.
NO OBLIGATIONThe Introduction Call is free and it’s a conversation, not a contract. Ask anything. Jason has nothing to hide.
NO HARD SELLIf we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so on the call and point you toward someone who is.
YOUR NUMBERS STAY YOURS

Built on discretion. It’s in the paperwork.

MUTUAL NDA, ALWAYSEvery engagement starts with a signed mutual nondisclosure agreement, before we see a single number.
READ-ONLY ACCESSWe view your books through accountant/read-only access. We can’t move money, change entries, or touch your accounts.
NO CLIENT NAME-DROPPINGWe don’t advertise who we work for. Our clients’ financials and their identities stay confidential. Yours will too.
NOT READY TO TALK?

Get the brief for the trades.

Two emails a month. One reads the economy for your business: what fuel, materials, mortgage rates, and loan rates mean for your trucks, receivables, and pricing. The other goes deep on running a repair & replace shop. Plain language, no Wall Street noise.

Optional text alerts when a new issue drops, and if one of our 10 client spots opens up.

Email gets the newsletter. Add your mobile if you also want short text alerts: new issues and open client spots. Unsubscribe anytime.
A BOUTIQUE, ON PURPOSE

The roster caps at ten. Period.

That’s the whole firm, by design, so every client gets a CFO who knows their business cold, not a junior analyst with a template. As spots fill, the waitlist gets the first text.
