Your CFO Office — Without the Full-Time Cost
Every growing business eventually hits the same wall: decisions are getting bigger, but the financial infrastructure to support them hasn't caught up. Spreadsheets get patched together. Reporting lags behind reality. Cash surprises leadership instead of warning them.
EMC's CFO & FP&A Solutions deliver the same financial leadership, discipline, and infrastructure through a flexible engagement model — senior finance professionals embedded into your business, scaled to what you actually need.
A Full-Time CFO Is a Big Fixed Cost for Partial Capacity
The instinct is to hire a CFO. But a full-time CFO is a significant fixed cost — salary, equity, and overhead — for a function most growing businesses only need at partial capacity.
We embed senior finance professionals into your business, working to the same standard as an in-house CFO function, without the fixed overhead of a full-time hire.

Metrics That Matter
Institutional-Grade Reporting
Onshore or Offshore Delivery
Eight Core CFO & FP&A Capabilities
Clients typically start with two or three capabilities that address their most immediate gap, then expand coverage as the business scales.
Budgeting & Forecasting
Zero-based and driver-based budgets tied directly to your operating model, with clearly stated assumptions, sensitivity ranges, and variance tracking.
Cash Flow Management
Rolling weekly cash flow models and longer-horizon liquidity projections that track burn rate against runway and flag funding gaps early.
Management Reporting
Regular reporting packages built for how your leadership team actually makes decisions — budget performance, variance analysis, and commentary on the why.
KPI Dashboards
We identify the metrics that genuinely drive your business and build live tracking that updates from your source data — real-time, not month-old.
Financial Analysis
Ad hoc and structured analysis on the questions that matter — unit economics, margin bridges, cohort profitability, scenario modeling, pricing sensitivity.
Financing & Fundraising Support
End-to-end support preparing for a raise or credit facility — the financial model, the data room, the narrative, and direct support through diligence.
Board & Investor Reporting
Board decks and investor updates built to institutional standards — clear, well-sourced, and structured to withstand scrutiny.
Rolling Forecasts
Static annual budgets go stale within a quarter. We maintain rolling forecasts that update as actuals come in, reflecting current reality.
How Engagements Work
CFO & FP&A support is delivered under EMC's standard engagement models — deliverable-based for defined projects (a fundraise, a board deck, a financial model build) or resource outsourcing for ongoing, embedded support (a fractional CFO or FP&A analyst working set hours per month, onshore or offshore).
Either way, the engagement is scoped against fixed deliverables and a fixed cost, so there's no ambiguity about what you're getting or what it costs to get it.

Scope the Gap
We identify the one or two capabilities where your current financial infrastructure is falling behind the business.

Scale Coverage
As the business grows, expand from one or two capabilities into full CFO-office coverage — without adding fixed headcount.
