Our Boston part-time CFOs are of a different breed

We are entrepreneurs at heart. We think and act like business owners. We have helped build, finance and sell many companies over our careers. We can do the same for you.

Our business experience spans virtually every sector of the economy and companies of all sizes – from start-ups to Fortune 500 corporations. We are effective and efficient, make an immediate impact, offer a fresh perspective, and add a lot of value for a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO.

So, while Accounting and Finance may be the reasons why you choose to retain our services, our focus and passion are on helping grow the value of your business and improve its profitability. In the process, we will build a scalable Accounting and Finance function to support your growth.

    Is it time to Onboard a Part-Time CFO?

    If you can relate to a few of the statements below, you would greatly benefit from having one of our part-time CFOs by your side.

    no 1

    IT’S LONELY AT THE TOP: You lack an experienced business partner and “consiglieri” at your elbow who is objective, strategic and fact-based, yet passionate about growing the value of your company. There is a substantial gap in business experience and acumen between you and other members of your team

    no 2

    THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY: You have no time to deal with important financial or operating tasks, which keep on being postponed or falling through the cracks…or worse still, such financial and operating tasks continuously crowd out your pivotal duties related to customer acquisition and products

    no 3

    NO STRATEGY, INSIGHTS & ANALYSIS FROM FINANCE: Your finance function is limited to producing the monthly P&L and Balance Sheet. It provides no: strategic input, detailed profitability analysis of your products/services, a rolling cash flow forecast, benchmarking, Key Performance Indicators, etc. You feel like you are flying the proverbial airplane with no instrument panel

    no 4

    CASH FLOW AND PROFITABILITY “SURPRISES”: Your business is experiencing profitability or cash flow problems, is missing bank covenants or is underperforming the budget – and you are often surprised by it

    no 5

    $20 MM COMPANY STUCK IN THE BODY OF A $4 MM BUSINESS: Your business is growing fast and requires more robust finance and operating functions to deal with the challenges and opportunities that come with such rapid growth. Increasingly, you feel like your company’s accelerated expansion is being restricted or held back by its own lack of infrastructure

    no 6

    SHORT-SIGHTED: You don’t have a long-term view of your business, including: (i) a 3 to 5-year strategic plan and financial forecast and (ii) a sense of the business value, currently and in the future

    no 7

    DEAL MAKING: You are looking to raise capital to fund growth or acquisition opportunities and reach your ambitious goals. Or you plan to sell in the short to medium-term and have not prepared your company for it

    Why You Definitely Need Our Boston Part-Time CFOs

    What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

    It has been a great pleasure to work closely with James Christodoulou as a fellow board member of a startup third party logistics company. He was selected for his deep financial acumen, his corporate Finance/IPO background, and his extensive entrepreneurial venture capital experience. He has a unique ability to see the big picture and at the same time focus on the details, to quickly assimilate large amounts of data and extract the meaningful few and leverage his insights to help develop and refine the business strategy. He has excellent judgement, as well as strong relationship building skills. He is also kind, trustworthy, and supportive of others, qualities that endeared him to our team. It has been a great pleasure working with him and I look forward to our continued work together. James would be an asset to any team.

    Richard Elliott Hoynes
    CIO/CTO for a number of Fortune 50 companies (Retired)

    Tyler worked on our behalf during the acquisition and funding process of Paul Fredrick in 2017, a
 leading designer and direct-to-consumer men’s apparel company. Tyler was an integral part of our efforts to complete the acquisition of Paul Fredrick, from providing guidance on the financial model to leading the charge on sourcing an equity sponsor. He was of particular value in identifying the appropriate partner to share in our vision of the future of Paul Fredrick. His ability to source a partner that had flexibility in terms of capital structure allowed for our team to share in a larger share of the upside than we would have had we been forced to utilize a more traditional partner.
    Tyler’s personality and working style meshed very well with our own and we enjoyed having the opportunity to work with him. Should a need arise in the future; we’d welcome the chance to work with him again.

    Look no further than Venture Growth Partners. Having an opportunity to meet and discuss the needs of our business with Mario was the first step among many where Venture Growth Partners proved their worth. They helped guide and support us in ways we could develop goals, metrics, and strategies that would elevate our skills by placing one of their tenured consultants with us. We were not exactly sure what we needed but Mario was able to decipher from just two meetings what we thought we needed. We discussed some of our pain points, and the direction we were headed (and fast) and where we felt there were gaps in our infrastructure. Mario introduced us to a short list of extremely qualified candidates quickly. Working in a very specific industry it was paramount we find someone already up to speed on industry knowledge. Without trouble he was able to suggest precisely the person to fill this role, already armed with the right skills to become an essential part of our business. Now, we can’t imagine what or where we would be without Venture Growth Partners.
