Why call us?
CFO For Rent® is the best fractional CFO / COO service in the country.
Your CFO For Rent® can help you by the hour or by the project. The majority of our clients are at the stage where they need to transition from entrepreneurial to professional management. The catalyst for that change usually falls into what we call…
- The three Ts
Trouble
Usually some external issue like a bank, government, auditor, or customer is requesting something that the company is having trouble providing.
Transition
New ownership structure, new software, new markets, new product, new business model. These are territories we're familiar with and can help you navigate.
Transaction
Acquisitions or divestitures of all or part of the company. A great way to make change fast. We can guide you in making the wisest decisions along the way.
our Services
01. Outsourced Accounting Services
Hiring an in-house team can be costly, and training them takes time. CFOFORRENT offers outsourced accounting services that give you professional results without the overhead. We handle:
- Accounts payable and receivable
- Payroll and compliance
- Financial statement preparation
- Tax support and reporting
- Bank and credit card reconciliations
- Think of us as your accounting department, but leaner, sharper, and ready from day one.
02. Fractional CFO and Controller Services
A strong business needs financial leadership. The problem is, not every company is ready for a full-time CFO. That’s where our fractional CFO services make sense.
This means you get the strategy of a seasoned financial professional without carrying the full salary on your payroll. It’s a smart move for businesses in growth mode or those preparing for big financial decisions.
- We give you high-level guidance with:
- Cash flow forecasting
- Budgeting and planning
- Lender and investor reporting
- Profitability reviews
03. The Benefits of Partnering
When you work with CFOFORRENT, you get more than numbers on a spreadsheet. You get peace of mind, insight, and support from a team that’s been at it for nearly three decades.
- Lower Costs: Save compared to a full in-house accounting team.
- Scalability: Add more support as your business grows.
- Accuracy: Our team is detail-obsessed and experienced in compliance.
- Expertise: Over 25 years, thousands of clients, and a team that knows what to look for.
- Confidence: Finally feel sure about your numbers, not second-guessing them.
