Providing Exclusive Fractional CFO Expertise
For select clients, we provide premium Fractional CFO services, including FP&A forecasting, cash management, budgeting, financial stack design, stakeholder management (including reporting for investors), coaching, and more.
To make sure we have the capacity to provide dedicated time and focus to your business, we only take on a limited number of clients for Fractional CFO services, prioritizing referrals from our partners or clients with sufficient cash flow or investment.
Our fractional CFO services bring exclusive expertise to your startup.
Financial planning and analysis (FP&A).
We help analyze your existing financial performance, project and plan for future goals and performance, and guide you to make better decisions.
Forecasting and financial models.
We design financial models and forecasts highly customized to your startup and management style that are informative and easy to use.
Financial KPI consulting.
We can review your dashboards and work with your data teams to design and optimize KPIs that would help you better model business performance.
Cash flow management.
Especially as a startup, which often may have shorter runways, cash management is key. We help you carefully manage your cash and expenditures.
Departmental budgeting.
We can assist you to set up and run a business-wide or departmental budgeting process and track your budget vs. actual performance each month.
Stakeholder and investor reporting.
You may often have to fill out or send monthly or quarterly reporting for banks, investors, or board decks. We can help you streamline that process.
Financial stack design and management.
As your business gets more complicated, we can help design processes to streamline your payments, invoicing, wires, and reporting to optimize your time.
Semimonthly team meetings.
We’ll schedule a standing semimonthly meeting with our team, where we can review financials, update each other on deliverables, and provide CFO advice.
Executive coaching.
We also provide unmetered coaching for all things CFO, from understanding D&O insurance terms to negotiating payables and improving team dynamics.
Zephyr is more than just your typical fractional CFO service.
How is Zephyr different from our many of our competitors?
We are agile and dedicated team. Our fractional CFO service is an exclusive service. Unlike many other firms, we limit the amount of clients we take per year to make sure each client gets enough time and support.
We understand every company is unique. We don’t use templates to create models: your model is created from scratch after extensive onboarding and interviewing to understand your business logic and how you best interact with models to make key decisions. That utility is then built into our deliverables.
We teach and build up clients along the way. We don’t just do the work; we also teach you how to use and understand the financial information.
We believe culture and trust is important. Running a startup is stressful, frustrating, and exhausting at times. We create a culture of collaboration, teamwork, and trust, so you feel comfortable discussing all of your concerns.
We take pride in superior client support. We strive for the best quality for our services, customized for your own experience, and seek constant feedback.
Our competitive pricing assures you get quality services for reasonable rates.
