Fractional CFO for Professional Services Firms Earning
$5M to $50M+

We build a rolling cash forecast and update it as actuals come in, so you see a shortfall weeks before it reaches payroll or a debt payment. Then we work on what moves cash in a services firm: collections, payment terms, retainer and billing structure, and how you use your line of credit.

We build an annual budget and a forecast model tied to your actual results, then compare the two every month. Before you add a hire, change your prices, or lose a large client, you can see what the decision does to margin and cash. For some owners, this is the first budget the firm has had.

Revenue growth in professional services often hides clients that lose money. We calculate fully loaded cost per hour and margin by client and service line, then help you reprice, restructure, or exit the work below target. For one $8.5M MSP, that added about $216K in annual recurring revenue.

We pick the handful of metrics that matter for your firm, such as utilization, effective rate, margin by client, and cash runway, and report them every month. Then we review the results with your leadership team so the numbers turn into decisions about pricing, staffing, and spending.

For owners buying another firm, we analyze the target’s financials, test its margins and client concentration, and build the financial case for the deal. We support due diligence and model how the combined firm’s cash flow and debt will look in the first year after closing.
