Fractional CFO Services through my division, The Conscious CFO™, provide experienced financial leadership and operational oversight for organizations that need senior-level expertise—but not a full-time hire. This service is designed for nonprofits, trade associations, and growing organizations that require accurate financial reporting, strong internal controls, and strategic financial partnership to support leadership and governance.
I work closely with executive teams and boards to ensure financial clarity, compliance, and confidence—so financial operations support the mission, not distract from it.
What This Looks Like in Practice
As organizations grow in size and complexity, financial leadership becomes critical. Systems must scale, reporting must be reliable, and leadership needs timely, accurate information to make informed decisions.

Yes. I regularly support executive leadership, boards, finance committees, and audit committees by preparing and presenting financial information, answering questions, and ensuring transparency and accountability.

How do we get started?
We begin with a conversation to understand your organization’s structure, challenges, and goals. From there, we determine the level of support that will provide the most value.
What’s the difference between a Fractional CFO and a Controller?
A Controller typically focuses on accounting operations and accuracy, while a CFO provides strategic oversight and leadership. This service can include one or both roles, depending on your organization’s needs—providing operational strength alongside strategic insight.
Can this support an organization during a transition?
Absolutely. Fractional CFO services are especially valuable during leadership transitions, periods of growth, system changes, or audit preparation—providing stability and experienced guidance.
Is this service only for nonprofits?
While this service is particularly well-suited for nonprofits and trade associations, it can also support organizations that need senior financial leadership without a full-time executive.
