Fractional Financial Leadership
The CPA wingman small business & nonprofit execs call in times of transition or chaos.
View ServicesAbout Alexandra
I work with small business and nonprofit leaders who've outgrown their bookkeeper but aren't ready for a full-time CFO.
Right now, you're probably making big financial calls on your own, before a board meeting, before you sign a lease, before you respond to an auditor, without anyone in your corner to sanity-check the decision. It's an enormous burden to carry this weight on your own.
I'm your wingman. The CPA you call when things feel out of control, when you're in the middle of a leadership transition, or when the numbers just don't add up anymore. I step in, get eyes on the real picture, and tell you exactly what's going on, the good and the bad.
Here's what that looks like in practice: I fix what's broken in your reporting so you can trust the numbers again. I build processes your team can actually follow. And I mentor the people already in your organization, so when I leave, they're more capable than when I arrived.
My Commitment to You
You'll get honest guidance. A complete picture. A partner, not a vendor.
I'll tell you what's working, what isn't, and what needs to change — even when it's uncomfortable. You deserve a complete picture so you can make informed decisions.
When our engagement ends, your team will be more capable than when we started. That's a deliberate outcome, not a bonus.
Trust. Clear communication. Respect. Everything else follows.
Send me an email to introduce yourself, your organization, and the challenge you're facing. We'll start with a 20-minute discovery call.
What I Offer
There's a path forward, and it begins with me listening.
Eight-week engagement
The reports come out late. The numbers are hard to trust. Leadership is making decisions on gut feeling instead of real data because the real data either isn't there, or no one has time to make sense of it. That's not a crisis. But it's costing you.
Maybe your team is stretched thin and running on habit rather than process. Maybe you've outgrown the setup you started with but haven't had the bandwidth to fix it. Maybe you're heading into an audit, a board meeting, or a budget cycle and you already know something's off — you just can't put your finger on it.
This is what an accounting refresh is for. Not a full overhaul, not a judgment. One focused engagement, one real problem solved. We identify the root cause of your biggest challenge and fix it — with your team. You'll come out the other side with processes that are documented, a team that feels capable, and reporting you can actually use.
Depending on where the pressure is, support can address:
Your situation shapes the engagement. Whatever is most broken, that's where we start. The goal is a focused, high-impact intervention on your biggest priority, not a sprawling project that loses momentum halfway through.
Eight-week engagement
Most organizations aren't built to absorb the sudden loss of a senior finance leader. That's not a failure — it's just reality. This is what interim support is for.
When a Director of Finance or Controller walks out the door, the pressure on your team is immediate. Your inbox is already filling up. Your team is looking to you for answers you don't have yet. And the month-end close isn't waiting.
That's where I come in. You focus on finding the right person and I'll make sure nothing falls apart in the meantime. Your team stays supported, nothing gets lost in the handoff, and the work keeps moving. You get peace of mind and the breathing room to make a smart hire — and your new hire will walk into a well-documented, stable operation set up for their success.
Depending on your situation, support includes:
Your priorities shape the engagement, not a checklist. You can expect clear, frequent communication throughout and a steady, experienced presence to lean on.
Built around you
Some organizations don't need a project — they need a senior financial presence. Fractional financial leadership gives you CPA-level expertise without the cost of a full-time hire, built entirely around what you actually need.
Whether you need strategic support on a recurring basis, help navigating a specific season of growth, or a steady hand guiding your finance function while you figure out what's next — this is built around you. There's no standard package because there's no standard situation.
What this can include:
Every engagement is scoped to your priorities. We'll talk through what you're carrying and design something that fits.
