Your next financial decision needs more than a set of books. Firestone CFO brings senior financial leadership into your business, with an engagement shaped around the decisions, reporting and execution you need. Based in Colorado, we support companies in Denver, Boulder and the Front Range, working primarily remotely and discussing onsite support when it fits the engagement.
A fractional CFO provides executive financial leadership on a part-time or defined-scope basis. You get a partner for planning, evaluating tradeoffs and translating financial information into decisions, without immediately building a full-time executive finance role. Firestone combines that perspective with controller and accounting support when the work calls for it.
02
Cash visibility before the next decision
Hiring, growth and a changing sales pipeline can pull cash in different directions. We build cash-flow forecasts and financial models around the drivers of your business, then use scenarios to make the implications of timing, spending and revenue assumptions clearer. The goal is a forecast your leadership team can use and revisit, not a spreadsheet that sits untouched.
03
Planning, reporting and capital strategy
Our work can include budgets, dynamic forecasts, executive dashboards, KPI analysis and board or investor reporting. We help connect operating plans with capital needs and support capital-raise planning and transaction readiness. For businesses with multiple entities, currencies or jurisdictions, we help bring the financial picture together so leaders can evaluate the business as a whole.
04
When fractional leadership makes sense
Consider fractional support when financial decisions are growing more complex than your existing reporting, when the CEO is carrying the finance function, or when investors need a clearer view of performance. An interim or project engagement may fit a specific transition. A full-time CFO may be the better choice when the business requires continuous executive coverage; the right scope depends on your needs.
05
How an engagement takes shape
We start with your priorities: a cash question, a planning cycle, a financing milestone or a finance operation that needs more structure. Together we identify the available information, reporting gaps, responsibilities and decision deadlines. That determines the scope and working cadence. As the business changes, the mix of executive guidance and hands-on support can change with it.
06
Colorado roots, a broader perspective
We work with founder-led, venture-backed and private-equity-backed companies, including SaaS and businesses in emerging industries. Denver and Boulder leadership teams can draw on a Colorado-based team while retaining the flexibility of a primarily remote engagement. No office visit is required to begin: contact Managing Partner Joshua Sroge directly to discuss your business.
Common questions
What is the difference between a fractional CFO and an accountant?
Accounting establishes reliable records, closes the books and produces financial reporting. A CFO uses that foundation to guide cash planning, strategy, capital decisions and communication with owners or investors. Firestone can connect both functions within an engagement.
Do you work with businesses in both Denver and Boulder?
Yes. Firestone is based in Colorado and serves Denver, Boulder and the Front Range, as well as companies elsewhere. We work primarily remotely; onsite work can be discussed based on the needs of the engagement.
How much do fractional CFO services cost?
Fees depend on the scope, complexity and level of support. Contact Firestone to discuss your priorities and an appropriate engagement; there is no published one-size-fits-all package.
Can you support our existing bookkeeper or controller?
The engagement can be shaped around your existing team. CFO guidance can sit alongside your internal accounting function, with additional controller, reporting or planning support where needed.
