Straight Talk Virtual CFO Services
Scale Smarter. Spend Less.
Why Work with a Virtual CFO?
Imagine making decisions with the same clarity Fortune 500 CEOs enjoy—without carrying a Fortune 500 payroll.
A Virtual CFO (also called fractional CFO services) gives you executive-level insight without the full-time cost. They help you see further, plan smarter, and act faster—with proactive guidance, not just reactive reports.
At Straight Talk CPAs, we don’t just interpret your numbers. We help you use them to grow profitably.
How We’re Different?
Most fractional CFOs work in silos, handing out generic forecasts and dashboards that look nice but change little.
We embed inside your business—integrating tax, accounting, and financial strategy under one roof for clarity, speed, and impact.
- We’re not here to bill hours. We’re here to engineer outcomes.
- We don’t deliver data. We deliver decisions.
- We don’t act like vendors. We think like owners.
That’s why clients stick with us—and scale faster.
Built Into Our Advisory Tiers
Our CFO services aren’t an add-on—they’re the engine behind our advisory packages.
| Tier | Revenue Range | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Scale | $500K – $1M | Escape “reactive mode” with clarity, dashboards, and growth planning |
| Thrive | $1M – $5M | CFO-level strategy, rolling cash flow modeling, executive reporting |
| Enterprise | $5M+ | Advanced support for complexity, fundraising, M&A, and legacy planning |
Each tier grows with your business complexity.
Why We Don’t Offer Standalone CFO Services
We’re often asked:
“Can I hire you just for CFO support?”
The answer: no—and here’s why.
Most fractional CFOs or freelancers work in isolation. They don’t see tax strategy, real-time books, or operational systems. The result? Advice without context.
We integrate accounting, tax, and strategy under one roof.
That’s how we deliver better decisions, faster. And that’s why our clients get results.
You don’t need more hours. You need aligned, high-impact financial leadership.
What You Get with Straight Talk CFO Services
Financial Forecasting
We build forecasts you can bet decisions on, not just admire.
Why it matters:
Most CFOs give you static projections that expire the moment they’re printed.
Our edge:
We design living, rolling forecasts that adjust with your hiring cycles, marketing pushes, and seasonal swings—integrated with your growth goals. Clients don’t just reference them—they outperform them.
Profitability Analysis
We turn analysis into action.
Why it matters:
Businesses bleed profit through underpriced offers, bloated expenses, and hidden inefficiencies.
Our edge:
We identify your true profit engines, then help you execute the changes that matter—redesigning pricing, renegotiating contracts, or cutting loss-makers.
One client saw margins climb 22% in just two quarters after implementing three of our recommendations.
KPI Dashboards & Insights
Visibility that drives accountability.
Why it matters:
You can’t manage what you don’t measure—but measuring the wrong things wastes energy.
Our edge:
We co-build KPIs with you, ensuring they reflect the real levers in your business. Clients have used our dashboards to reduce churn, reallocate spend, and grow profit—all within a single quarter.
Business Strategy Advising
Your numbers tell a story. We help you rewrite it.
Why it matters: Strategic missteps—like premature hiring or poor funding terms—can stall growth.
Our edge:
We don’t just “review the numbers.” We challenge assumptions, stress-test scenarios, and co-create strategies grounded in data and experience. From cap table design to expansion timing, we sit on your side of the table—like owners, not outsiders.
Cash Flow Planning & Optimization
Cash flow is your oxygen. We make sure you never run short.
Why it matters: Even profitable companies collapse from cash flow surprises. Predictability = stability = power.
Our edge:
We build 13-week rolling forecasts, trigger alerts, and scenario models you can run meetings with. One client avoided a cash crunch by delaying a $40K hire—without slowing growth.
Expense Control Systems
Profit isn’t just about growth. It’s about discipline.
Why it matters: Small leaks sink big ships. Without visibility, you’re scaling inefficiency.
Our edge:
We design systems that surface waste before it hits your P&L. One client eliminated $84K in redundant software within 90 days—freeing up cash to reinvest in growth.
Internal Controls & Risk Reduction
Strong businesses run on trust—but survive on systems.
Why it matters: One weak control or bad actor can cost six figures—or investor trust.
Our edge:
We strengthen your financial backbone with scalable checks and balances. From dual approvals to fraud detection alerts, we help you pass audits, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.
Team Training & Support
Reports don’t drive growth—people do.
Why it matters:
The best dashboards and forecasts fail if your team can’t use them.
Our edge:
We train your people to own the systems. From bookkeepers spotting early cash risks to managers interpreting KPIs, we make finance a shared language across your company.
Tailored to Your Industry & Business Model
We don’t do cookie-cutter CFO work.
Every forecast, dashboard, and strategy is built around your margins, hiring cycles, and
growth triggers—whether you’re in SaaS, hospitality, professional services, or e-commerce.
Additional Support as Needed
- Financial audits & due diligence
- Debt or equity fundraising
- Cap table creation & maintenance
- Accounting software implementation
- Hiring or mentoring your internal accounting team

Is It Time to Bring in a CFO?
You don’t just wake up needing a CFO. There are signs:
- You’re growing but flying blind with your numbers
- Cash flow feels like a guessing game
- Your books are clean, but you don’t know what to do with them
- You’re juggling pricing, hiring, and expansion decisions without clarity
- You know there’s waste—but can’t find it
If any of this sound familiar, it’s time.
