Part-Time CFO Services
Strategic Financial Leadership Without the Full-Time Cost
​
Your business is growing. You’ve moved past basic bookkeeping—but you’re not quite ready for a full-time Chief Financial Officer. That’s where our Part-Time CFO Services come in. At Next Edge CPA, we offer executive-level financial strategy, planning, and oversight tailored to small businesses that need high-impact support without the overhead of a full-time hire.
​
Whether you need help with budgeting, forecasting, fundraising, or financial decision-making, we become your trusted advisor and financial partner.
​
Why Hire a Part-Time CFO?
Most small businesses can’t afford—or don’t need—a full-time CFO. But that doesn’t mean they can operate without financial leadership. A part-time CFO bridges the gap between basic accounting and big-picture strategy.
​
With a CFO on your side, you can:
-
Understand your numbers beyond profit/loss
-
Prepare for growth with structured financial planning
-
Make smart decisions with confidence
-
Communicate effectively with lenders, investors, or stakeholders
-
Free up time to focus on what you do best
We provide clarity and direction when the numbers start getting more complicated.
​
Who We Help
Our part-time CFO services are designed for:
​
-
Fast-growing small businesses
-
Founders ready to scale operations
-
S-Corps and LLCs seeking structure and insight
-
Businesses preparing for loans, fundraising, or exit
-
Non-profits with board reporting needs
-
Entrepreneurs who want to stop guessing and start planning
If your financials are “fine” but you’re not sure what they mean—or how to act on them—we can help.
​
