Why a CFO

Does this sound familiar?None of them are accounting problems.

Most growing businesses hit the same walls. The financial statements are accurate — they just don't tell you what to do next.

01 — Cash Surprises

More revenue, less clarity

“I keep making more money, but I have no cash and I don't know why.”

02 — No Forward View

Flying without a forecast

“I honestly couldn't tell you where this year is going to land.”

03 — Reports Without Insight

Numbers arrive, insight doesn't

“I get my financials every month, but I don't know what they're telling me.”

04 — Every Decision On Your Desk

Deciding on gut alone

“Every big decision lands on my desk, and I'm going off my gut.”

05 — Outgrowing the Back Office

Growth outpacing operations

“We're growing so fast the back office can't keep up.”

06 — Big Events on the Horizon

Nothing to show the bank

“The bank wants projections, and I don't have anything to show them.”

The Role

Where a CFO fits in your finance function.

Each layer answers a different question. The lower layers tell you what happened — the top layer is where the numbers stop reporting and start deciding.

Bookkeeping

What happened?

Transactions recorded accurately and on time.

Accounting

Are the numbers right?

Clean financial statements you can rely on.

Controller

Are we in control?

Processes, close cadence, and internal controls.

CFO

What should we do next?

Cash, planning, KPIs, and strategy at the leadership table.

We add the layer above what you already have — whether we run the ones below it, or you do.

The Services

One partner. Every layer of forward-looking finance.

From the weekly cash view to the seat at your leadership table, every deliverable connects to the next.

Cash Flow Forecasting

A rolling 13-week cash flow so you always know where cash is headed and see tight weeks before they arrive.

Budgeting & Forecasting

An annual budget you actually use, updated forecasts as the year unfolds, and variance reporting with commentary.

Scenario Modeling

What happens if we add the location, raise prices, or lose the big customer? Modeled before you decide.

KPIs & Dashboards

The handful of metrics that drive your business, designed with you and delivered on a one-page dashboard.

Strategic Planning & Pricing

A financial partner in the decisions that matter: pricing, hiring, expansion, financing, and beyond.

Monthly CFO Meetings

A standing monthly meeting to review results, update the forecast, and agree on the decisions ahead.

Plus ongoing evaluation of internal controls and headcount as your business grows.

The Engagement

A rhythm, not a project.

CFO services work because they're continuous — each month builds on the last. For decisions that can't wait, we're just a phone call away.

Weekly

Cash forecast updated

The 13-week cash flow rolls forward every week, so the forward view never goes stale.

Monthly

CFO meeting

Results reviewed with commentary, KPIs against targets, forecast refreshed, decisions made.

Quarterly

Step back

Reforecast the year, revisit pricing and initiatives, and check strategy against results.

Annually

Plan the year

Build next year's budget and targets together, informed by everything we learned.

Getting Started

The first 60 days.

Every engagement starts with a structured diligence process. Before we recommend anything, we learn your business.

Step 01

Understand

Deep dive into your business model, your team, and how money actually moves through the company.

Step 02

Analyze Gaps

Assess your reporting and measurement tools against what your decisions require.

Step 03

Build Forward-Looking Tools

Stand up the cash forecast, budget, and KPIs your business has been missing.

Step 04

Present the Plan

Walk you through what we found, what we built, and the rhythm going forward.

By day 60, you have a finance function you can run on — and a rhythm to keep it current.

The Partnership

Beyond the reports.

The deliverables are the foundation. The value is having a financial leader in the room when it counts.

Financing

Preparing the numbers and the story before you sit down with a bank — and sitting with you when you do.

Growth Decisions

New locations, new hires, new equipment: modeled, pressure-tested, and sequenced.

Pricing

Understanding your true margins by product, service, and customer before you set or change prices.

Controls & Team

Evaluating internal controls and the headcount you need as the business scales.

Big Conversations

Support in board meetings, investor updates, and conversations with key stakeholders.

What's Next

Executing initiatives, re-evaluating as conditions change, and pivoting when the numbers say so.

Common Questions

Answers before you call.

Still have questions? Start with a free 30-minute check-up and we'll walk through your situation.

How is this different from my bookkeeper or controller?

Bookkeeping answers what happened, accounting confirms the numbers are right, and a controller keeps the close process and internal controls in order. CFO services sit above all three: cash, planning, KPIs, and strategy at the leadership table. We add the layer above what you already have — whether we run the ones below it or you do.

Do you replace our current accounting team?

Not necessarily. Wherever you sit today — whether Greenlight already handles your bookkeeping and accounting or another team does — we build the CFO layer on top of it.

What do we actually receive each month?

A rolling 13-week cash flow, budget-vs-actual with commentary, a one-page KPI dashboard, and a monthly CFO report — reviewed together in a standing monthly meeting.

How is CFO services priced?

Every engagement is scoped to your business during the free consultation, so there's no set package to guess at.
