Fractional CFO Services in Los Angeles

A fractional CFO provides senior-level financial leadership on a part-time, flexible basis. The role goes beyond bookkeeping and historical reporting by helping leadership interpret performance, manage cash flow, improve margins, set financial priorities, and plan for growth. MIV Partners also develops executive scorecards and rolling forecasts so founders can make decisions using a current, practical financial outlook.

A fractional CFO is often valuable when a company has outgrown basic bookkeeping, has meaningful revenue complexity, or is making high-stakes decisions about hiring, pricing, expansion, financing, or capital. It is especially useful when revenue growth has not produced predictable cash flow or healthy profit. MIV Partners focuses on founder-led businesses generating $1M–$15M in annual revenue.

Bookkeepers organize transactions and maintain financial records, while accountants may prepare reports, tax filings, or compliance work. A fractional CFO uses reliable financial information to guide forward-looking business decisions. That includes analyzing profitability, forecasting cash, evaluating pricing and cost structure, setting KPIs, and translating financial results into an action plan leadership can use.

A CFO financial diagnostic reviews the drivers of profitability and cash position to identify where money is generated, lost, or delayed. It can examine revenue, gross margins, operating expenses, working capital, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and cash conversion. MIV Partners translates the findings into actionable recommendations for improving liquidity, margins, and financial decision-making.

Yes. A fractional CFO helps make cash flow more predictable by forecasting expected inflows and outflows, identifying timing gaps, reviewing working capital, and monitoring liquidity risks. The work may also reveal opportunities in collections, payment timing, pricing, margins, or operating costs. Ongoing forecasts help leadership respond before a cash constraint becomes an urgent operational problem.

The right metrics depend on the business model, but common priorities include revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, profitability, cash position, accounts receivable, and cash conversion. MIV Partners builds executive scorecards around the financial and operational KPIs most relevant to a company’s decisions. The goal is a focused view of performance, not an overwhelming collection of reports.

The engagement begins with a 30-minute Right Fit Call scheduled by appointment. For ongoing partnerships, MIV Partners provides recurring monthly financial reviews and strategic discussions, beginning Month 3 and beyond. These reviews can cover actual results versus budgets and forecasts, KPI performance, cash flow, emerging issues, and upcoming leadership decisions, with real-time guidance throughout the partnership.

Start by scheduling a complimentary, no-commitment CFO Financial Diagnostic session. This conversation helps determine whether your business is a fit and identifies the financial questions most worth addressing first. MIV Partners then tailors support to your stage, objectives, and complexity, whether you need a focused diagnostic, scalable financial systems, or an ongoing CFO partnership.
