Fractional CFOs For Founder-Led Companies at $2M+
Astero Group puts a senior CFO in your business for a fixed monthly fee. Reporting you can read, forecasts you can act on, and a person who tells you what the numbers mean before you have to ask. No timesheets, no long-term contracts.
Real Outcomes
Professional Services
A successful founder wanted to sell his business, but the financials told the wrong story. We fixed everything up and worked with them through the exit at 4x.
Creative & Production
Job costing was unreliable, leading to poor purchasing decisions and shrinking margins. We rebuilt the process and improved profitability by 5.5%.
Tech & MedTech
Margins were slipping, and nobody could explain why. We identified the problem, fixed it, and improved gross margin by more than 8 percentage points.
Senior CFO expertise. Fractional commitment.
Your CFO works directly with you as the founder, becoming a trusted financial partner who understands the business, challenges your thinking when needed, and helps you make smarter decisions as you grow. Astero Group CFOs are not Controllers. We are proactive advisors who know your industry.
Pricing
Engagements typically run from $5,000 to $15,000 a month, depending on what you need. Most clients land under $6,000 a month.
What We Do
Senior CFO work scoped to what your business actually needs. No time sheets, no long-term commitment. Cancel anytime.
A custom and graphical report package, not a QuickBooks export. What's working, what's slipping, and what to do about it in plain language.
A real forecast: 13 weeks of cash when things are tight, and 1 to 2 years when you're planning. Built so you can see what's coming and make decisions before the month is over.
We find where the money is leaking per product, per job, and give you tools to tell you the truth about which parts of the business are actually making money.
The model, the story, and the numbers behind them, built to survive due diligence. We've taken founders through raising and through selling.
Your team gets its own Astero AI CFO in Slack for off-hours questions, and your human CFO works in the same channel. Always on.
When the seat is suddenly empty or you need real CFO leadership through a transition, we can put an experienced CFO in place for as long as you need.
Who this isn't for...
If your business generates less than $2 million in annual revenue, needs only bookkeeping or tax prep, doesn't work well with remote employees or is led by rude people, we’re probably not your firm. We focus exclusively on premium CFO services. We do know excellent people for the other stuff and you can view our partner directory at the link in the footer of this website for those resources.
