“What happened last month, and why?”
$1,250/ month
About 8 hours a month
Includes:
- Monthly financial reports
- Budget vs. actual review
- Monthly review call
Best for owners who want clean monthly numbers and someone to explain them.
Fractional CFO for owner-led businesses
Monthly reporting, cash forecasting and pricing analysis for growing businesses, at one flat monthly fee.
The problem
As a business grows, a bookkeeper and a year-end CPA stop being enough. A full-time CFO still doesn’t pencil out.
Financials show up weeks after month-end, with no one to explain why profit moved.
The bank balance is the forecast, so a tight payroll week is the first warning.
No one can say which jobs, products or customers actually make money.
Each of these is fixable with the right numbers, on time, explained in plain English.
Where Broadhead fits
