Fractional CFO leadership

Clarity for growing companies


I help you know your numbers so you can get back to the work that actually grows the business.

The 185 Collective partners with growth-minded founders and PE-backed companies that have outgrown a bookkeeper or part-time controller. Fractional CFO leadership — typically 8–12 hours per month — focused on cash, forecasting, and decision-ready reporting.

Engagements typically start at $5,000/month.
