The CEO's Edge — Fractional CFO

Fractional CFO for Contractors & Founders

Bookkeeping tells you what already happened. A CFO tells you what to do next. Get the forward read — cash clarity, honest margins, and bank-ready numbers — without a full-time CFO on your payroll.

Start with a scoped foundation. Scale to weekly oversight or board-level finance as the business demands it.

Why Foundation is priced the way it is

A Scoped Foundation — Not a Discounted Full-Service CFO

CFO Foundation is not a full-service CFO engagement at a cut rate. It is a different, deliberately smaller job: a defined scope you can vet before committing to a larger engagement. What is in it — and what is not — is written down before you sign, in a scope sheet you keep.

What Foundation is

  • A 13-week cash forecast, so payroll stops being a surprise
  • Your WIP cleaned up, and one KPI dashboard you actually read
  • One real CFO call a month, plus a monthly P&L review
  • A defined scope — about five hours a month of senior time, spent on exactly those items

What it is not

  • Not full-service at a discount — no one legitimate sells that
  • No bank packages, pricing rebuilds, weekly calls, or board decks
  • Those are Operator and CEO Edge work, priced and scoped as such
  • When the business outgrows the scope, the tier conversation is explicit — never a surprise upsell
The offer ladder

Three tiers. You always know what yours includes.

Every tier starts with a 30-minute discovery call and a written scope. If no tier fits, you still leave the call with two fixes you can use Monday.

How it works

From first call to a monthly rhythm in three steps

1

Discovery call — 30 minutes

We map where your cash is stuck: WIP and job costing, payroll runway, and whether you are bidding to win or bidding to profit. You get a straight read on your situation, whether or not we work together.

2

Tier match

No WIP and cash chaos points to Foundation. WIP without weekly oversight points to Operator. A bonding, fundraising, or partner question points to CEO Edge. The match — and the scope — is put in writing before you commit.

3

Setup, then rhythm

Setup starts with your last 3 months of P&L, AR/AP, and your active job list. Then the monthly rhythm begins: forecast, dashboard, review, and the next actions — every month, on schedule.

Signs the business has outgrown bookkeeping alone

  • You have no WIP schedule — or one nobody trusts.
  • You are the bank: AR is tied up while payroll is due Friday.
  • Jobs you priced at 25% margin finish at 12%, and you find out at the end.
  • A bonding or credit-line increase is coming, and the financials have to hold up.
  • Growth is real, but cash never seems to follow it.

Rafael Rodriguez, Jr., MBA

Founder, Triumph Business and Tax Solutions LLC — fractional CFO for contractors and founders

Rafael works from the operator's chair: the same discipline behind this practice runs the weekly live training and the firm's bookkeeping and tax work through the Total Source Network. One point of precision, because precision matters in this profession: Rafael is an MBA and a founder, not a CPA. The firm is MBA-led with a licensed CPA on staff — the credential line we stand behind on every page.

Straight answers

The questions owners actually ask

Your CPA looks back: taxes, filings, and clean historical records. A fractional CFO looks forward: the 13-week cash forecast, WIP and job-cost control, pricing, and the decisions in front of you this month. The two work together — we fix WIP and cash so your CPA has clean books to file from. And where CPA-required work is involved, our firm is MBA-led with a licensed CPA on staff.

No. It is a scoped foundation, not a discounted full-service engagement: a 13-week cash forecast, initial WIP cleanup, one KPI dashboard, one 60-minute call a month, Slack Q&A, and a monthly P&L review. The scope exists so you can vet the work on defined terms before committing to a larger tier — and the exclusions are stated on this page, not discovered later.

Bank packages, pricing rebuilds, weekly calls, and board decks. Those are Operator and CEO Edge work. Before you sign anything, you receive a written scope comparison sheet showing all three tiers side by side — includes, exclusions, and outcomes — so the boundary is explicit.

No. Clean bookkeeping is the input this work runs on — yours, or our firm's through Triumph Solutions. Day-to-day bookkeeping is not performed inside any CFO tier; at CEO Edge we oversee it and coordinate comp and tax with your CPA. If you have neither, we will tell you plainly what needs to be in place first.

Thirty minutes, in three parts: where your cash is actually stuck, which of the three cash killers — job costing, cash flow, or pricing — is costing you most, and which tier, if any, fixes it. Have your last 3 months of P&L, AR/AP, and active job list handy for the follow-up. If nothing fits, you still leave with two fixes you can use Monday.

Start with the call. The scope is in writing before you spend a dollar.

Book a 30-minute discovery call. We will map where your cash is stuck and tell you which tier fixes it — or that none does, and what to do instead.
