Long-term partnership for the intentional firm.

A permanent strategic co-pilot providing the financial sobriety and professional stewardship required to ensure your firm's growth is profitable, sustainable, and intentional.

Your external CFO, guarding your margins.

Success in professional services often creates a unique kind of quiet chaos. As your firm scales, the financial variables multiply. Suddenly, you are not just managing projects; you are managing complex overheads, shifting margins, and the strategic weight of future growth.

Most firm leaders find themselves managing finances by instinct, not for a lack of talent, but for a lack of time. Our CFO Advisory is designed to provide the permanent strategic oversight your firm needs, so you can focus on the craft that built it.

📊

The Executive Performance Narrative

Once a month, we strip away the spreadsheet noise. We provide a short, sharp briefing on the real health of the firm, translating the data into a clear story of where you are winning and where you are drifting.

🛡

The Strategic Guardrail Check

We proactively monitor your overhead, project margins, and realisation. If the firm starts to tilt toward unprofitable busyness, we are the first to pull the handbrake and help you recalibrate.

🔭

Quarterly Future-Mapping

Every 90 days, we zoom out. We align your financial capacity with your long-term goals, ensuring that every hire, lease, or expansion is backed by data rather than just hope.

Three tiers of strategic stewardship.

Tier 1

Oversight

  • Financial Hygiene and Stability
  • Quarterly Strategy Briefings
  • Essential Vital Signs Monitoring
  • The "No Surprises" Report
  • Annual Planning Session

  • Long-term Strategy and Resilience

A legacy-ready enterprise.

What a trusted adviser changes.

Decision Support

Before you make a high-stakes move, like a new senior hire or a practice area pivot, you run the numbers through us. We provide the sober second opinion every leader needs.

Rolling Forecasts

No more April surprises. We maintain a 12-month rolling view of your cash flow and tax obligations, so you can see the future before it arrives at your bank account.

Partner Alignment

We provide the objective data needed to keep the leadership team on the same page. We replace partner-level hunches with a unified financial truth.

Capital Efficiency

We optimise your drawings and reinvestment. We make sure the partners are actually being rewarded for the risk of ownership, not just for their billable hours.

You will get the most from this if:

  • You have moved past the startup phase and the financial complexity is starting to feel heavy.
  • You want a high-level CFO perspective without the $250k cost of a full-time hire.
  • You value a relationship built on long-term trust and a no-nonsense approach to profitability.

A few things worth knowing:

  • This is an ongoing partnership, not a one-off engagement.
  • We operate at a strategic level; this is not day-to-day bookkeeping or compliance.
  • The value builds over time as we develop deep understanding of your firm's patterns.

Ready for a permanent strategic co-pilot?

Selecting the right tier is a strategic decision in itself. We usually recommend starting with a Profit Triage to determine where your firm currently sits on the maturity curve.

Start with a Profit Triage

Warning: Regardless of the tier you choose, we will always be honest about your overhead. It is a standard feature of a trusted relationship.
