How it works

1

Session 1 — Discovery

You walk Cortney through the business. She runs a structured diagnostic — close process, margin visibility, cash position, and how you're actually using your financials.

2

Between sessions

Compass reviews everything and builds your written Compass Scan Report — findings, risk analysis, prioritized path forward.

3

Session 2 — Debrief

Report delivered before this session. Walk through findings together. Discuss what the full engagement looks like. No pressure — the report is yours either way.

03
Ongoing Partnership
Compass Engagement
$15,000–$20,000/month

Not a 90-day project. A finance partnership that runs as long as you need it. The 90 days is the onboarding ramp.

Common Questions

Answered directly.

Do I have to start with the Health Check?

No. You can start anywhere. The Health Check is the lowest-friction entry point. The Compass Scan is for founders ready to invest in understanding the full picture. You can also come straight to a conversation.

What if I only want the Compass Scan?

That's a legitimate outcome. The Scan is a standalone product. The $3,500 is the full fee — not a deposit. It applies toward month one only if you choose to continue.

How long does the engagement run?

As long as you need it. No defined end date. Ends when you choose. Most clients stay well beyond 12 months because the finance function keeps delivering value.

What size business is this built for?

Founder-led businesses at $1M–$10M. Sweet spot is $2M–$6M — big enough to need real infrastructure, not yet big enough to justify a full-time CFO.

Do you replace my bookkeeper?

Not necessarily. Bookkeeping and fractional CFO are different functions. We often work alongside existing bookkeepers. In some cases we bring in Compass bookkeeping — that's a conversation after we understand the full picture.

What does $15K–$20K/month actually get me?

Monthly close, cash flow visibility, a 13-week cash flow model, board-ready reporting, and a fractional CFO available when you're making real decisions. The rate reflects the level of engagement and the outcomes delivered.
