Why Add a CFO (Without Hiring One)?

Case Study: Financial Clarity Helped a Wichita Architecture Firm Expand

A Wichita-based architecture and design studio had three partners, growing projects, and a big opportunity: a national client wanted them to take on multi-state work. But their financials were scattered across platforms, their hiring plan was reactive, and no one was sure if the firm could afford to scale.


Here’s what Straight Talk CPAs did:

  • Centralized all financial reporting into one cloud-based dashboard
  • Built a 12-month forecast tied to project timelines
  • Created budget scenarios for hiring senior staff and outsourcing work
  • Flagged underperforming contracts eating into margins
  • Helped secure a line of credit based on solid financial reporting

Outcome: The firm expanded into two new states, hired confidently, and grew revenue 41% YoY—all with visibility and strategy.
