What's included

Strategic finance, scaled to fit.

Most small businesses outgrow bookkeeping but can't justify a $200K full-time CFO. Cardinal's fractional engagement is the bridge.

01

Cash flow forecasting

13-week and 12-month rolling cash flow forecasts so you see what's coming and have time to act. Updated monthly, scenario-modeled when something changes.

02

KPI dashboards

The 5–8 numbers that actually matter for your business, tracked monthly and reviewed together. Customer acquisition cost, gross margin, runway — whatever drives your model.

03

Profitability analysis

Profit by product, customer, project, or service line. Where the business is making real money and where it's quietly losing — separated and reported clearly.

04

Budgeting & planning

Annual budget built from the ground up, then tracked against actuals each month. Variance analysis with explanations, not just spreadsheets.

05

Pricing & unit economics

Are your prices right? Are your margins where they should be? CFO-level analysis of what each customer or unit actually costs you and earns you.

06

Strategic CPA call

A monthly live call with a licensed CPA to review the numbers, talk through what's working, and decide what changes next month. Plus priority phone, text, and email support in between.

Who this is for

For businesses ready to scale.

If you're doing $500K–$10M in revenue and the business is starting to feel financially complex — multiple revenue streams, growing payroll, lender conversations, expansion decisions — you need more than a bookkeeper. You need someone in your corner who can read the financials, see what's coming, and help you decide what to do about it.

That's what a CFO does. The problem is that a real full-time CFO costs $180K–$280K plus benefits, and most growing businesses don't yet need that bandwidth. A fractional CFO engagement gives you the strategic capability for a fraction of the cost — typically 10–15% of a full-time hire.

Cardinal's fractional CFO engagement includes everything in the bookkeeping and accounting tiers, plus the strategic layer on top. One CPA, one relationship, end-to-end.
