Because the role is fractional, you get the experience of a finance leader with 18+ years across private equity, real estate and small business, at a cost that fits a growing company in San Diego County.

Fractional CFO questions
Answers to common questions San Diego business owners ask.
How does a fractional CFO compare to hiring a full-time CFO?
A fractional CFO works part time, so you pay for the time and scope your business needs instead of a full executive salary and benefits. After a free review, Nick provides a clear proposal.
What is the difference between a fractional CFO and a CPA?
A CPA typically focuses on tax returns and compliance. A fractional CFO focuses on planning, forecasting and decisions throughout the year. The two roles work well together.
Do I need clean books before hiring a fractional CFO?
No. If your books need work, Nick can clean them up first so forecasts and reports are built on accurate numbers.
Can you work with my current bookkeeper?
Yes. Nick can work alongside an existing bookkeeper or take over the books entirely, depending on what serves your business best.
