"We want to be strategic partners and advisors to small and medium-size businesses (SMB) by providing part-time executive financial support and fractional operations of-the-back-office to companies who need interim or flexible help, personalized to their own needs. You want to go after big projects, but do you have what you need in place to compete?
You started your business at your kitchen table and now you’re experiencing rapid organic growth. You’re driven by passion and innovation, but you need a partner to sustain and grow your business.
You have a core team handling Sales, IT or Product Design, but you need help running your back-office operations. A part-time solution, a fraction of the cost of building an internal function, will get you where you need to be. Your focus needs to be on your business -- growth, profitability, and long-term success. Standardized processes and procedures will ensure your team’s focus stays on value-added projects.
Outsourcing and upgrading operational functions will generate revenue and increase enterprise value. No one knows your business as well as you. And you know what you’re good at. We are good at keeping your financial and accounting house in order. So let’s both do what we do best. We can fill the gaps while you go all-in on your strength!
