We seek to take the burden and over-whelm of your financials and back-end business tasks off your plate; offering you a sense of relief and time to focus your attention on building your business.
What Sets Us Apart
We are relationship-driven and focused on providing successful solutions for our clients. Transparency and efficiency are key values we hold true to in our work. We support, we lead and we provide. We work in your business, so that you can focus your attention on growing your business.
We reduce costs
Hiring and training full or part-time staff can be very expensive. Paying for an employee with benefits is costly. Many companies and nonprofits either do not need a full-time position OR need additional help that does not require an additional in-house employee. Working with Capital CFO+ lets you focus your human resources where you need them most.
We improve efficiency
When you have an expert working on a project, they will be faster, effective, and efficient. Working with Capital CFO+ gives owners and leaders an essential competitive advantage. By outsourcing activities that are routine, administrative, or require specialized skills, you can focus more on core functions and ensure that your company thrives and succeeds.
We level the playing field
Most small firms simply can't afford to match the in-house support services that larger companies maintain. Capital CFO+ helps small firms act "big" by giving them access to the same economies of scale, efficiency, and expertise that large companies enjoy.
Our Mission
We are here to be your business partner. From simplifying your finances, to priori-tizing your back-end needs, we listen to your objectives and work to put the pieces of your business together to form a solid foundation and a brand built for success.
