Fractional CFO Services Outsourced Strategic Financial Leadership for Your Business
Finance Fight Club®’s CFO services are for owner‑led businesses $2–20M in revenue that want strategic finance leadership without a full‑time CFO.
If you already have a monthly bookkeeper and tax pro, we plug in as your finance executive to help you make better decisions, build reserves, and move toward your next big goal or exit.
Know Your Numbers. Know Your Value.
Start here: Strategic Financial Assessment & Internal Valuation
Every ongoing CFO engagement starts here: a one‑time deep dive into your financials, cash, and business value so you stop guessing and start making confident decisions about growth or exit. This assessment analyzes cash strength, profitability trends, and key risks/opportunities, then builds a directional internal valuation using SDE/EBITDA. You walk away with a clear value range, a prioritized cleanup list, and a 12‑month roadmap—whether you continue with CFO support or implement with your current team.
This assessment gives you (and us) the lay of the land so we can recommend the right CFO package—or you can walk away with a roadmap and implement with your existing team.
Most businesses between $5M–$10M in revenue invest $7,500 for this one‑time project. We also offer tailored pricing for businesses under $5M and over $10M, for the scope to fit your size and complexity.

How we work
Step 1 – Fit & Goals Call
A short call to confirm fit, revenue range, and complexity—and to decide whether now is the right time for CFO support or just the Strategic Financial Assessment. You’ll leave knowing what we actually recommend, not a generic pitch.
Step 2 – Strategic Financial Assessment & Internal Valuation
We complete your one‑time assessment: deep dive into cash, profitability, risks, and internal value, then deliver a clear roadmap for the next 12 months and beyond. You can implement with us, with your current team, or on your own.
Step 3 – Scope the Right CFO Package
Using what we learn in the assessment, we recommend one of five CFO tiers—Ad‑hoc, Foundations, Strategic, Fractional, or Exit Ready—based on your size, complexity, and goals. You see exactly what’s included each month and what stays as project‑based work.
Step 4 – Onboarding & First 90 Days
We align with your bookkeeper and tax pro, set up reporting in Fathom and our internal templates, and start a steady monthly rhythm: review numbers, make decisions, and implement changes. The focus is quick wins first (cash, clarity, and owner pay), then bigger moves
Step 5 – Ongoing CFO Cadence
Depending on your package, you’ll have 1–3 monthly strategy calls (or weekly during deals), standard monthly/quarterly reporting, forecasting, and coordination with your finance team. When life gets intense—financing, acquisition, exit prep—we add short, clearly scoped projects instead of quietly inflating your monthly fee.

Who We Serve Best
Privately Held Companies

We’re right size your cash flow, owner’s pay, and plan for the future of your business along side you.

After your Strategic Financial Assessment, we’ll recommend one of these five support levels—from single‑issue advisory to embedded, exit‑ready CFO support—based on your revenue, complexity, and goals.
Most clients invest $3,000–$12,000/month in ongoing CFO support, depending on complexity and stage, with Ad‑hoc advisory at $750/hr and our Foundations package starting at $3,000/month.
