The Problem

Most owners don't have a finance problem. They have a visibility problem.

Your books might be clean. Your P&L might even be on time. But you still can't answer the questions that matter:

Which product line — or job, or location — is actually making money?
How much runway do I have if revenue slips 15%?
Is this customer worth keeping?
Can I afford the next hire?

If you're running on gut and last quarter's numbers, you're flying without instruments. That's what we fix.

How We Work

Four outputs. One goal: better decisions, faster.

Profitability Intelligence

Unit economics down to the product, location, job, or customer. Built in Power BI, Tableau, or Excel — whatever fits your team. Most fractional CFOs stop at a cleaned-up P&L. That's our floor, not our ceiling.

Sharper Forecasting

Forecasts you'd actually bet on. Scenario models for pricing, hiring, and expansion — not theater for a board meeting.

Clearer Cash Flow

Know your 13-week cash position cold. Know which levers move it, and by how much.

Decision-Ready Reporting

Monthly packages your leadership team will actually read. Management-grade, not audit-grade. Shorter, sharper, built for action.

Who We Work With

Owner-led businesses, Houston and the Gulf Coast.

Three industries. Chosen on purpose.

Energy services and downstream operators. The service companies that feed the majors — not the majors themselves.
Specialty trades and construction services. Where revenue lives on job margins and cash disappears into jobs in progress.
Industrial manufacturing and fabrication. Per-unit economics, true job costing, the stuff QuickBooks won't give you.

Between $2M and $15M in revenue, with a finance function getting outrun by the business. We should talk.

Who We Don't Work With

We walk from any engagement where —

You want an aggressive tax or reporting posture.
Your culture treats staff poorly.
You hide cash movements, side accounts, or related-party transactions.
You want someone to rubber-stamp a decision you've already made.

This isn't a disclaimer. It's the product. We only grow with clients we'd recommend to a friend.

Return on Investment

The work pays for itself.

Most engagements surface at least one significant financial opportunity in the first 30 days — a margin leak, a cash timing problem, or a cost that shouldn't be there. That finding alone typically covers months of fees.
