CFO Oversight Services - Your Part-Time Financial Executive

Get executive-level financial guidance without the executive-level salary

 

Think of CFO Oversight as having a seasoned Chief Financial Officer on your team – but only when you need them. Instead of hiring a full-time CFO (which costs most small businesses $150,000+ annually), you get access to 30+ years of executive financial expertise at a fraction of the cost.

 

What CFO Oversight includes:

  • Cash flow forecasting to prevent money shortages

  • Budget planning and financial goal setting

What Our Clients Say

Ryan -

Small Business Owner 

Before working with Mainspring Accounting, I was spending 15-20 hours every month just trying to keep up with our books, and I was constantly worried about making mistakes with payroll taxes. Stacy and her team completely transformed how we handle our finances.

​

The best part? We're saving money compared to what we were paying our part-time bookkeeper, and getting so much more value. I can finally focus on growing my contracting business instead of staying up late wrestling with QuickBooks. I wish we had found Mainspring years ago!"
