Toy Company | Woodland Hills, CA
Talk to a CFO Partner Today
I'm ready to rollChallenge:
When we started with a toy company in Woodland Hills, CA their annual revenue was low six figures, the owner was the only employee, they didn’t have an inventory program established so the value of their inventory wasn’t reflected in their assets AND their costs of goods weren’t accurate.
Solution:
Over time, we set up inventory processes, work in progress systems, benefits, and multiple “what if” forecasting scenarios along with our usual Platinum Package services.
Results:
Ten years later, the company’s annual revenue was 8 figures, they had 10 employees, and were positioned to grow even more.
After-School Nonprofit | San Diego, CA
Talk to a CFO Partner Today
I'm ready to rollChallenge:
We started working with a financially complex after school children’s sports nonprofit in San Diego, CA several years ago. Their previous bookkeepers were not familiar with the accounting software being used and the Executive Team hadn’t seen any reporting in months that they could glean information from.
Solution:
Under our Platinum package with the cleanup add-on, we cleaned up their books, streamlined their grant and endowment tracking, simplified receipt collection, and provided the Executive Team and managers with accurate real-time financials.
Results:
The leadership team was finally able to make instant, informed decisions using up-to-date reporting.
Ask Our CFO Expert
When should I upgrade from a bookkeeper to a CFO?
You should consider upgrading from a bookkeeper to a CFO when your business has grown beyond basic financial recordkeeping and needs strategic financial guidance. A bookkeeper focuses on tracking daily transactions and reconciling accounts, but a CFO helps you:
- – Build long-term financial forecasts
- – Create cash flow strategies to avoid shortfalls
- – Evaluate funding options or prepare for investors
- – Identify opportunities to maximize profitability
As a general benchmark, businesses reaching $1M+ in annual revenue or dealing with complex growth decisions (mergers, new markets, scaling operations) benefit most from CFO-level leadership.
What does a fractional CFO do for a small business?
A fractional CFO provides high-level financial strategy, planning, and oversight without the cost of a full-time hire. They help manage cash flow, forecasting, and key financial decisions.
Is hiring a fractional CFO worth it?
Yes, especially for growing businesses that need expert financial guidance to scale efficiently and avoid costly mistakes.
How can a fractional CFO help my company grow?
They bring financial clarity, optimize spending, support strategic planning, and guide major decisions like pricing, hiring, and raising capital.
What are the top 5 signs my business needs financial forecasting?
Financial forecasting becomes essential when your business starts to outgrow “gut feeling” decision-making. Here are the top 5 signs:
Cash flow surprises — You’re frequently caught off guard by not having enough cash on hand to cover expenses.
Scaling pains — You’re hiring, expanding, or investing in growth but don’t know how these decisions affect long-term profitability.
Unclear revenue goals — You set sales targets, but they’re not tied to actual market data or financial models.
Investor or lender interest — You’re seeking outside capital, and they require detailed financial projections.
Thin profit margins — Revenue is growing, but profits aren’t keeping pace, and you need clarity on why.
With accurate forecasting, a CFO helps you see 6–12 months ahead, so you can make proactive decisions instead of reacting to financial fires.
