How engagements work
Three shapes. No packages.
Assessment
Fixed scope, typically two to four weeks, ending in a written finding and a sequenced plan with owners and dates. Some engagements are designed to stop here.
Fractional CFO
A standing seat. Planning cadence, board and lender reporting, and the decisions that need a finance owner. Defined days per month, defined scope, reviewed quarterly.
Control build
One hard thing, scoped and dated: an ERP cost design, a tariff response, a footprint move, or the AI control environment described above — designed, installed, and handed over.
Engagements begin with a conversation, not a proposal. If the work isn't a fit, I'll tell you on the first call.
