Finally Feel in Control of Your Numbers
We know what it’s like to wake up wondering if the numbers are right. In 90 days, we’ll install a system that ends the guessing. And replaces anxiety with rhythm.
How It Works
Most CFOs and accounting teams spend their time reacting. Our system installs three simple, repeatable rhythms that turn your finance team into a proactive engine for growth.
Day 1–30:
Foundation Rhythm Stop Getting Ambushed
You can’t grow if you’re constantly putting out fires. In the first 30 days, we install the processes and tools that give you immediate control.
Week 1: Diagnostic & Quick Wins
We map every system, spreadsheet, and choke point. You’ll see where leaks exist and what’s holding you back.
Week 2: Close Acceleration
We shorten your close cycle by 50–75%.
No more 20-day scrambles.
Week 3: Cash Visibility
You’ll know exactly how much cash you have, where it’s going, and when you’ll need more — daily.
Week 4: Margin Tracking
Your team starts reporting weekly margins and identifying profit leaks before they become losses.
Day 31-60:
Planning Rhythm — Stop Growing Broke
Once your foundation is stable, we install planning systems that help you grow intentionally.
Week 5–6: 13-Week Cash Forecast
See three months into the future. No more guessing about next quarter.
Week 7: Scenario Planning
We model what-if outcomes so decisions become data-driven, not gut-driven.
Week 8: Profit-Driven Decisions
You’ll stop chasing top-line revenue and start managing profit per project, client, or truck.
We Guarantee Clarity In 90 Days
or we keep working until you have it. That’s how confident we are in the system.
Day 61–90:
Intelligence Rhythm — Stop the Blank Stares
The final stage transforms your numbers into live intelligence for decision-making.
Week 9–10: Real-Time Unit Economics
We track performance at the unit level: per job, product, or client.
Week 11: Reporting Automation
No more waiting three days for board reports. Your dashboards update in real time.
Week 12: Predictable Growth
Your team runs independently, with financial confidence that compounds every quarter.
From Lagging Reports To Live Intelligence In 90 Days.
Every metric, every margin, every meeting in rhythm.

Questions?
We have answers
Every fractional CFO promises clarity. We guarantee it — in 90 days or less.
We don’t just “advise.” We install.Most CFOs build reports for you; we build the systems that create those reports automatically.We’re operators first, advisors second — and our results are measurable within weeks.
Perfect. That’s what we’re built for.We start with diagnostics and quick wins — not judgment.In fact, most of our clients start with incomplete data, multiple entities, and manual chaos.By Week 4, you’ll have clean, reconciled books and a rhythm your controller can actually sustain.
If your business generates revenue and relies on financial visibility — yes. We’ve installed rhythm for trade companies, SaaS, manufacturing, and professional services.The principles don’t change — only the levers do.
Your rhythm keeps running — with or without us. Some clients graduate with full autonomy. Others retain us quarterly for refinement, oversight, or fractional leadership. Either way, the system stays in place. It’s not dependent on us — it’s built to outlive us.
Perfect. We’re not replacing them — we’re equipping them. Your CFO will get back what they never had time for: strategy, leadership, and forecasting. We handle the system installation so they can focus on the future.
You don’t need one. The Financial Rhythm System™ runs without a hero. Your existing team becomes rhythm operators, not fire-fighters.
