Many companies operate with the owner also acting as the CFO advisor, while lacking a high-functioning financial team. Upon acquisition, there’s a critical need to install a skilled CFO or fractional private equity CFO firm to elevate the financial operations and meet the rigorous demands of the operation, including faster and more sophisticated reporting.

We Understand the CFO Challenges Private Equity Firms Face
Transparent Financial Reporting
PE firms demand highly detailed and accurate financial reporting, often on a monthly or even weekly basis. Many portfolio companies lack sophisticated financial systems, making it challenging to produce timely and reliable reports.
Cost Control & Operational Efficiency
PE firms expect cost-cutting measures and improved operational efficiency. Balancing cost reductions while maintaining growth and innovation can be difficult.
Liquidity Management
Managing debt-heavy capital structures is common in PE firms. Cash flow must be carefully overseen to guarantee debt obligations are met while simultaneously ensuring the company has enough capital to operate and grow.
Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management
PE firms often have complex, industry-specific, tax and financial regulatory requirements that internal teams may not be equipped to handle.

An outsourced CFO firm can:
- Establish financial reporting and analytics to meet PE firm requirements.

- The firm is preparing for a transaction, exit, or capital raise.
- A full-time CFO isn’t justified due to company size or deal complexity.
