Fractional CFO · Controller · Bookkeeping · Tax
The Financial Partner for Growing Businesses.
ProvenCFO is the fractional CFO, controller, bookkeeping and tax team for owner-led businesses: professional firms, agencies, brands, manufacturers, contractors and the owners behind them. Weekly books, a monthly close you can sign your name to, and a 13-week cash forecast, for companies from $1 million to $50 million in revenue.
Business leaders should not have to make a financial decision alone.
| KPI | Sep | Aug | Budget | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $612,400 | $588,100 | $600,000 | On plan |
| Gross margin | 24.1% | 26.8% | 26.0% | Two projects faded |
| Overhead | $101,300 | $98,700 | $100,000 | Steady |
| AR over 60 days | $96,500 | $61,000 | — | Call two customers |
This month’s recommendation: move the two slow receivables to a weekly call and hold the truck purchase to November.
The decision, written down: hold the equipment deposit to week 6 and stay above the floor without touching the line.

From the owners we work with.
Sound familiar?
Every company that calls us has one of two problems.
The books are behind or cannot be trusted.
A bookkeeper left. Months are unreconciled. The P&L and the bank balance tell different stories. The CPA sends a list every April that takes three weeks to answer.
Catch-up and cleanup
ClarityThe books are fine, and nobody knows what they mean.
Profitable on paper, tight on cash. A hire, a bank renewal or a raise on the table, and no forecast to decide with. The owner is the pinch point on every bill and every number.

The Proven Method
Six steps. Every client runs the same way.
Position, Reset, Operate, Visualize, Execute, Navigate. Ninety days to a finance function that runs on a calendar, then a monthly rhythm.
Where the company stands today: books, cash, debt, systems, people.
Clean up what cannot be trusted. Catch up, reconcile, rebuild the chart of accounts.
Weekly bookkeeping, a monthly close on a calendar, AP and payroll on a system.
A monthly package you can read in ten minutes, walked through on a call or a recording.
Decisions with numbers behind them: hire, buy, bid, borrow, price.
CFO-level planning toward growth, financing, succession or an exit.
Why a team instead of a hire
You were about to hire a $150,000 controller.
A full-time controller or CFO is one person, one set of experience, and two weeks of nothing when they take vacation. ProvenCFO gives you a bookkeeper, a controller and a CFO for a fraction of one salary, on systems that keep running if a person changes.
- Weekly, not monthly. Books updated every week so cash can be run, not reconstructed.
- A system, not a person. BILL, Ramp, Gusto and QuickBooks or Xero set up so approvals, bill pay and payroll run without the owner in the middle.
- Under one roof. Bookkeeping, controller, CFO, payroll, AP and tax from the same team and the same ledger.
- Yours to keep. If you hire in-house later, you take over a clean, documented finance function.

Questions
Straight answers.
What does ProvenCFO do?
ProvenCFO is a fractional CFO, controller, bookkeeping and tax firm for American owner-led companies. We run weekly bookkeeping, a monthly close, a 13-week cash forecast and CFO advisory for owner-led companies from about $1 million to $50 million in revenue, with tax prepared by licensed CPAs from the same books.
How much does it cost?
Bookkeeping starts at $400 a month, controller at $1,000 a month and CFO advisory at $1,500 a month. Most clients combine two levels. Everything is month to month. See the pricing page for the full table.
Who is it for?
Owners and partners who are profitable on paper but cannot see cash, who are behind on the books, or who are about to hire a $100,000 to $150,000 controller or CFO and would rather pay a fraction of that for a team. Law firms, agencies, contractors, manufacturers and distributors, consumer brands and companies raising capital are the bulk of our work.
Do you specialize in one industry?
No. We have deep benches in professional services, agencies and construction, and we work across manufacturing, distribution, e-commerce and growth-stage companies. Each industry page shows what the monthly package looks like for you.
Are you a CPA firm?
No. ProvenCFO is an accounting and advisory firm. Tax returns are prepared and signed by licensed CPAs who work with us, from the books we close, so nothing is re-entered.
Where are you located and who do you serve?
Our office is in Woods Cross, Utah, and our clients are American businesses from coast to coast. The work is remote by design, with in-person meetings when they matter.
