Fractional CFO Consulting

Fractional CFO services for mid-market companies — an operator in the finance seat, not a part-time bookkeeper and not a career consultant.

Fractional CFO consulting for privately-held and PE-backed companies between $5M and $150M in revenue. Fixed monthly retainer, defined mandate, direct authority over the finance function. Led by George Fassett — U.S. Patent holder, TCU MBA, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and a former founder-operator who lived the finance seat in a company he built and sold.

Fractional CFO Services That Own the Finance Function

Most companies in the $5M–$150M revenue band have outgrown their bookkeeper and cannot yet justify a full-time CFO at $250K–$400K all-in. The gap is real, and it is where the wrong hire — or the wrong "fractional" arrangement — quietly costs owners the most. A Mebuis fractional CFO engagement is not a staffing arrangement. It is executive consulting with direct authority: rebuild the monthly close, install a real 13-week cash forecast, put unit economics in front of the leadership team, get the numbers ready for a bank refinance or PE due diligence, and produce the board-ready reporting package a sponsor or lender will actually trust. **Who this is for.** Founder-led firms where the owner is still doing month-end in a spreadsheet at 11pm. PE-backed portfolio companies between finance leaders. Companies preparing for a raise, a refinance, an acquisition, or an exit. Businesses whose controller is strong at bookkeeping but has never sat in front of a board. **How the engagement works.** Fixed monthly retainer, defined scope, weekly working sessions with the CEO or sponsor, a written 30-60-90 plan in the first two weeks, and a documented handoff to the permanent CFO when the engagement ends. Pairs with our [Financial Analysis](/solutions/financial-analysis) and [Price Modeling](/solutions/price-modeling) practices when deeper analytical lifts are needed. **What we don't do.** We don't do bookkeeping. We don't take a percentage of a raise or an exit. We don't refer you to lenders, brokers, or auditors we get paid by. And we don't stay past our welcome — when the mandate is done, we leave, in writing. Start with a two-week [Business Assessment](/solutions/business-assessment) to define the mandate, or [book an operator alignment call](/lets-talk).

Monthly Close, Rebuilt

A close cycle that finishes in 5-7 business days with numbers the CEO can defend. Chart of accounts that maps to how the business actually runs, accrual discipline, real revenue recognition, and a reporting package the board will read.

13-Week Cash Forecast

A rolling weekly cash forecast tied to AR, AP, payroll, debt service, and capex. Owners stop guessing at Friday payroll, banks get the visibility they expect, and the leadership team makes hiring and spend decisions with a real picture.

Unit Economics & Margin Analysis

Gross margin by product, service line, customer, and channel — read as an operator, not a spreadsheet. Two or three findings that reshape pricing, sales comp, and where the company invests the next dollar. Pairs with our [Price Modeling](/solutions/price-modeling) engagement.

PE Diligence & Bank Refinance Readiness

Get the numbers, the QoE support, and the data room ready for a sponsor, lender, or acquirer. We know what diligence teams look for because we have sat on both sides of the table — and we know what a rushed close looks like to a partner reading your P&L for the first time.

Board & Sponsor Reporting Package

A monthly package a board or PE sponsor actually reads: KPI scorecard, variance-to-plan, cash and covenant compliance, and a written CFO commentary. Build once, run on cadence, refine quarterly.

Interim & Bridge CFO Engagements

When a full-time CFO departs — planned or unplanned — the company cannot afford six months of drift while the search runs. We stand up in the seat within days, hold the function together, close the books on time, and hand a stronger operation to the permanent hire.

How is Mebuis different from a traditional consulting firm?
