A full-time CFO is premature. A bookkeeper isn't enough. We run the function in between, engineered rather than just administered.
None of these is a crisis on its own. Together they are the reason the finance function quietly becomes the founder's second job.
Closing the month is not the same as understanding it. You get a P&L and still cannot say what to do differently.
It works until it doesn't. The failure is usually silent, and you find out during a raise.
Each new system, entity or product line adds manual steps nobody documented.
Diligence does not care that you were busy. Clean books take months to produce retroactively.
This is not a list of tools you'd have to run. It's a finance function that produces each of these every month, whether or not you think about it.
One example of a stack we work inside. The mesh changes shape with yours.
The honest comparison is not our price against nothing. It's our price against the people you'd otherwise hire to do the same work.
| What you'd otherwise build | US | LATAM | Opexi |
|---|---|---|---|
| One bookkeeper | ~$7,500/mo | ~$1,800/mo | Core, $1,700/mo |
| A bookkeeper, a staff accountant and an analyst | ~$25,800/mo | ~$7,250/mo | Growth, $3,500/mo |
| The above, plus a controller | ~$47,900/mo | ~$9,000/mo | Command, $6,000/mo |
US figures use 2026 national starting-salary midpoints from the Robert Half Salary Guide, loaded at 1.43x for benefits and payroll taxes, per US Bureau of Labor Statistics data showing wages account for 69.9% of total employer cost. LATAM figures are 2026 market ranges for equivalent roles.
And it does not resign.
Four steps, no long procurement. You can stop after the assessment and keep everything we found, with no obligation to continue.
You tell us what's broken, slow or invisible. No forms, no scoping documents upfront. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help and where we'd start.
A focused diagnostic of your finance function: close process, cash visibility, data quality, systems. You get a written picture of what's solid, what's fragile, and what it's costing you.
Scoped upfront, priced before we start. Either we step in as your fractional CFO on one of our plans, or we embed on the specific initiative your team can't get to.
A finance function that runs every month without drama. Everything is documented, so if you ever want to take it in-house, you can. You're never hostage to us.
Most of our clients do, and it usually stays that way. A bookkeeper records what happened. We run the function forward: the close calendar, the cash view, the collections process and the systems underneath. We will tell you honestly if the arrangement is not working.
No. Engagements are monthly at a flat price. The diagnostic sets the starting scope and you can move between plans without re-onboarding.
The question is not size, it is whether anyone owns your finance function. If the answer is "partly the founder and partly a bookkeeper," this is built for you.
Tell us what's slow, broken or invisible. We'll tell you where we'd start and what it would cost.
