FAQs About Executive Advisory Services

How is this different from a fractional CFO?

Executive Advisory is designed for leaders who need more than hourly support. We provide comprehensive partnership, aligning on strategy, executing with discipline, and delivering outcomes that strengthen enterprise value.

Do you replace or complement an existing CFO or finance team?

Both. Some businesses are not yet complex enough to justify a permanent CFO. Others already have one but need additional expertise or bandwidth for a transaction, financing event, or special initiative.

Do you work on a retainer or project basis?

Either, depending on the engagement. Long-term partnerships are typically retainer-based, while transactions or targeted initiatives are often project-based.

How do you measure success in advisory engagements?

By outcomes. Did we achieve the strategic goals we aligned on? Did we deliver measurable impact? That is our standard.

How long does an advisory relationship last?

Executive finance partnerships are often multi-year, reflecting the depth of the relationship and continuity required. Specialized engagements — such as refinancing, succession planning, or post-transaction integration — are typically shorter in duration, lasting a few months to a year.
