What the Engagement Includes

CFO advisory is one engagement. These are the capabilities it draws on, depending on what your business actually needs - not a menu to pick from, and not a checklist every client receives in order.

CFO Engagements

Receive tailored CFO-level financial leadership without hiring a full-time CFO. Support can cover planning, cash management, performance analysis, strategic decisions, and executive guidance.

Executive Forecasting

Build management-level scorecards and rolling forecasts that clarify revenue, margins, expenses, profitability, cash position, and other business-specific performance indicators.

Cash Flow Forecasting

Improve cash predictability by identifying upcoming requirements, timing gaps, liquidity risks, expected inflows, outflows, and practical opportunities to strengthen cash availability.

Profit Diagnostics

Review profitability and cash position to identify profit leaks, financial risks, working-capital issues, and actionable opportunities to improve margins and liquidity.

Financial Strategy

Develop a practical roadmap covering pricing, margins, cost structure, operating leverage, capital requirements, investment priorities, and long-term growth objectives.

Monthly CFO Reviews

Maintain an ongoing financial partnership through recurring reviews of performance, budgets, forecasts, KPIs, cash flow, emerging issues, and upcoming business decisions.

Practical CFO Guidance

MIV Partners brings CPA credentials, MBA training, and business-owner perspective to financial planning, forecasting, performance analysis, and strategic decision-making. The result is practical guidance designed around your company’s stage, goals, and financial complexity. Work is delivered remotely, over video and shared workspaces.
