FRACTIONAL CFO SERVICES

Turn Financial Insight Into Better Growth Decisions 

Our fractional CFO services turn your numbers into forward-looking insight you can use to make decisions about cash, pricing, production, inventory, capital, and growth.

Instead of treating each of these as separate services, we bring them together as part of an ongoing CFO partnership built around the needs of your business.

13-WEEK CASHFLOW FORECASTING

Know Where Your Cash Is Headed Before It Gets Tight

We build and maintain a rolling 13-week cash forecast so you can see what's coming in, what's going out, and when pressure may emerge.
Use that visibility to plan production runs, inventory purchases, hiring, and major expenses with greater confidence.

TRADE SPEND & DEDUCTION MANAGEMENT

See the Costs That
Can Erode Your Margins

Slotting fees, promotions, chargebacks, deductions, and spoilage can make a growing account look more profitable than it actually is.
We help you understand those costs, identify where margins are being lost, and evaluate whether promotions and retail opportunities are delivering the return you expected.

INVENTORY & PRODUCTION PLANNING

Put Cash to Work Where It Matters Most

Inventory can support growth or quietly consume the cash needed to fund it. 

We connect production runs, co-packer minimums, purchasing, inventory levels, and expected demand so you can plan ahead without unnecessarily tying up cash or risking costly stockouts.

PRICING & COGS STRATEGY

Make Sure Growth Adds Profit, Not Just Volume

Ingredients, packaging, freight, and co-packing costs all affect what you actually earn on every unit sold.

We help you understand true landed costs and evaluate pricing by channel so you can protect margins as the business grows.

MARGIN & PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS

Know Where You Make Money and Where You Don't

We analyze profitability across products, customers, channels, and locations so you can see what is strengthening the business and where margins are being lost.

This means clearer insight into decisions like SKU mix, wholesale versus DTC, retail expansion, and where to focus resources.

ONGOING FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Know What to Do Next and Why It Matters

Financial insight only creates value when it leads to action.

We translate the numbers into clear priorities and practical decisions so your leadership team knows what deserves attention now and what needs to happen next.

ACCOUNTING SUPPORT

Need the Accounting Handled Too?

Runway CFO can also manage the monthly accounting and close that support the CFO relationship. Keeping both functions connected means your forecasts, reporting, and strategic decisions are built from the same set of trusted numbers.

You'll gain greater confidence in:

  • Monthly bookkeeping and accounting

  • Month-end close

  • Account reconciliations

  • Financial reporting

  • General ledger management

  • Financial statement preparation

We coordinate with your tax CPA so they have the clean, accurate financial information they need.
