Fractional CFO for Complex, Founder-Led Companies  Strategic financial leadership for businesses navigating operational complexity, multi-entity structures, unique business models, and critical transitions.   30+ years of proven experience | AI-enhanced systems | When standard CFO playbooks don't apply, I figure it out.

30+ Years of Proven Experience

CFO leadership across technology, services, real estate, healthcare, and 30+ other industries—including PE-backed companies, Arthur Andersen turnaround consulting, and enterprise operations at Oracle.

AI-Enhanced Financial Systems

Modern technology combined with decades of pattern recognition—delivering senior-level strategic thinking with faster insights, better scenario planning, and real-time visibility.

Limited Client Roster

I maintain a limited client roster to ensure each engagement receives the strategic attention and hands-on execution needed to navigate complexity and drive results.

After 30+ years as a CFO, I've learned that the most valuable work happens with companies that don't fit standard playbooks—businesses with multi-entity structures, unique business models, operational complexity, or challenges that require both strategic vision and hands-on problem-solving.

Conscia Fractional Solutions was founded to provide founder-led businesses with senior-level financial leadership that combines proven experience with modern AI-enhanced systems.

I've worked across 30+ industries—from technology and SaaS to real estate development, healthcare services, commercial and residential services, and more—not because I lack focus, but because I specialize in solving financial problems that don't have playbook answers.

Whether you're building financial infrastructure for growth, untangling multi-entity complexity, optimizing operations to improve margins, recovering from strategic missteps, or preparing for an exit or acquisition—I bring both the strategic thinking and operational expertise to figure out what needs to happen and help make it happen.

I combine battle-tested experience with AI-enhanced financial analysis to deliver faster insights, more comprehensive scenario planning, and clearer decision-making support for leadership teams navigating complexity.

Our Mission

To provide founder-led companies with senior fractional CFO leadership that combines 30 years of proven experience with modern AI-enhanced systems—delivering strategic clarity, operational solutions, and confident decision-making for businesses navigating complexity, growth, and transition.

I specialize in strategic fractional CFO services for companies with unique challenges—businesses where standard CFO approaches fall short and where both strategic thinking and operational execution are needed.

Clients rely on me for:

STRATEGIC FINANCIAL LEADERSHIP & PLANNING

Senior-level guidance for leadership teams navigating growth, transition, or operational complexity. AI-enhanced scenario planning, financial modeling, and cash flow forecasting that inform strategic decisions—not just historical reporting. FP&A, budgeting, and long-range planning built around your specific business model.

OPERATIONAL COMPLEXITY & MULTI-ENTITY STRUCTURES

Multi-entity accounting, consolidation, and reporting for complex ownership structures. Forensic accounting when financial records need cleanup or clarification. Project-based and job-cost accounting for construction, development, and service delivery businesses. Process design and workflow optimization to scale operations efficiently.

TURNAROUND, RECOVERY & COMPANIES IN TRANSITION

Strategic guidance for companies navigating challenges, recovering from missteps, or working through critical transitions. Operational diagnosis, recovery planning, and hands-on execution to stabilize operations and build the path forward. Restructuring support and change management for businesses in flux.

EXIT PREPARATION & EBITDA OPTIMIZATION

EBITDA improvement and margin optimization for companies preparing to sell or transition ownership. Financial cleanup and due diligence preparation to ensure smooth transactions. Exit strategy, timing, and valuation support. Coordination with brokers, attorneys, and CPAs throughout the process.

AI-ENHANCED DELIVERY

I leverage modern AI tools to deliver faster financial modeling, more comprehensive scenario analysis, and real-time dashboards—combining technology with 30 years of experience to provide senior-level insights at modern speed.

Over 30 years, I've developed expertise across a wide range of industries—each with unique financial complexities and business models.

TECHNOLOGY & SOFTWARE

SaaS platforms, custom software development, IT staffing and professional services, hardware and peripherals, technology consulting

Real estate development (residential, commercial, mixed-use), property management (multi-family, commercial), construction and general contracting, property flipping and investment, storage facilities

ADDITIONAL SECTORS

The industry matters less than the complexity. If your business has multi-entity structures, project-based revenue, unique business models, operational challenges, or is navigating critical transitions—I've likely worked with something similar and can help you figure it out.

My engagements are structured around outcomes and measurable results—not rigid schedules or billable hour quotas. I maintain a limited client roster to ensure each engagement receives the strategic attention and hands-on work needed to navigate complexity and drive meaningful impact.

I begin with a discovery conversation to understand your business model, operational structure, current challenges, and strategic goals. I listen to everyone—from the CEO to team members on the front lines—because solving complex financial problems requires understanding the full picture.

I'm not a know-it-all consultant who arrives with a predetermined playbook. I listen, I learn, I apply 30 years of pattern recognition, and I figure out what actually needs to happen in your specific situation. Then I help you make it happen—whether that's building systems, fixing problems, guiding strategic decisions, or preparing for a major transition.

Engagements are flexible and focused on outcomes, not rigid schedules. Whether you need ongoing strategic partnership, project-based work for specific initiatives (exit preparation, forensic accounting, M&A integration, turnaround support), or hybrid structures that evolve with your needs—we'll design an approach that works.

My ideal clients are founder-led companies that value senior-level strategic thinking, understand that great financial leadership pays for itself through better decisions and avoided mistakes, and are ready for a thinking partner who can handle both strategy and execution.

I've written and published several books in the "The Fractional CFO Ecosystem" and each week I write The Fractional Frontier newsletter exploring the fractional CFO world.

BOOK: THE FRACTIONAL CFO PLAYBOOK

BOOK: THE FRACTIONAL CFO: The Workbook

If you have read The Fractional CFO Playbook, you already know the framework. This workbook is where you apply it — to your actual numbers, your specific situation, and the practice you are building right now.Each of the eleven chapters mirrors a chapter in the Playbook. The structure is deliberate: read the chapter, work through the reflection tool, and then use the electronic tools that support the work. You do not need the Playbook to use this workbook. Each chapter stands on its own. But together, the two are designed to take you from knowing what to do to actually doing it.

Here's what happens next:

Discovery Conversation

We'll have an honest discussion about your business, operational structure, current challenges, and strategic goals. I'll ask questions to understand what's working, what's not, and where you need support. You'll get a sense of how I think and whether my approach fits your needs.

Tailored Engagement Structure

If we're aligned, I'll propose an engagement structure based on your specific situation—whether that's ongoing strategic CFO partnership, project-based work for specific initiatives (exit prep, forensic accounting, turnaround support, M&A integration), or a hybrid approach that evolves as your needs change.

Measurable Impact

You gain strategic clarity, operational solutions, AI-enhanced financial modeling and reporting, and confident decision-making support. Most clients see improvements in cash flow management, margin optimization, operational efficiency, and strategic direction within the first 90 days.

Flexible, results-driven engagements structured around outcomes—not rigid schedules or arbitrary hour commitments.
