Fractional CFO

Are your boutique A/E/C projects as profitable as they should be?

Most A/E/C firms don't plateau for lack of good work. They plateau because the financial side runs behind: project profitability that's unclear until the job closes, cash that always feels tight, and rates set by habit. A fractional CFO fixes that without a full-time hire.

WHY FRACTIONAL

CFO-LEVEL JUDGMENT, SIZED TO YOUR FIRM

SENIOR JUDGMENT, PART-TIME COST
You get a CFO reading your numbers and telling you what to do, for a fraction of what a full-time hire costs.

BUILT FOR A/E/C
Architecture, engineering and design-build firms only. Fee structures, phases, write-downs and backlog are the everyday work, not a learning curve.

A SYSTEM, NOT A PERSON
The work runs on the LYNX Financial Operating System (LFOS), so the reporting keeps its rhythm every week and month.

WHAT A FRACTIONAL CFO DOES FOR YOU

OPTIMIZE PROJECT PROFITABILITY
Billing rate floors built from cost for every billable person, realization tracked by person and project, and post-mortems that feed pricing on the next job.

STREAMLINE FINANCIAL OPERATIONS
Clean data from your accounting and project systems, one definition for every metric, and a monthly close package with a written CFO narrative.

ENHANCE CASH FLOW AND FUNDING
A 13-week cash view, a collections rhythm, and lender-ready documentation when you need a line of credit or a loan.

STRATEGIC BUSINESS GUIDANCE
A 15-month revenue forecast, annual planning and rate setting, and a standing monthly meeting that ends with the decisions the partners need to make.

Delivered through the Lynx Financial Operating System

"Proprietary reporting" means something specific here. Every client runs on the same cadence:

Weekly: a productivity flash, showing utilization and realization by person before the month closes

Monthly: a close package with a KPI scorecard and a CFO narrative

Rolling: a 15-month revenue forecast and a 13-week cash view

Annual: a billing rate floor for every billable person

IT STARTS WITH A 45-DAY DIAGNOSTIC SPRINT

In 45 days we set up your data, build your baseline and deliver the first full cycle of reporting: KPI baseline, monthly close package, 15-month forecast and 13-week cash view. Then you decide whether to continue, with no long-term commitment.

Start with a free consultation.

Thirty minutes, no preparation needed. We'll look at where your numbers stand and whether a sprint makes sense for your firm.
