Advisory

Monthly Financial Advisory

Ongoing CFO-level guidance — monthly review meetings, KPI dashboards, and forward-looking planning instead of just rear-view reporting.

The approach

Most business owners want more than a stack of monthly statements — they want someone who can read them and tell them what to do next. That's the role I play with my advisory clients: a monthly review of where the numbers are, what they mean, and what's coming.

What I help with

  • Monthly financial review meetings
  • KPI and Power BI dashboards
  • Cash flow forecasting and scenario planning
  • Pricing and margin analysis
  • Budget vs. actuals tracking
  • Owner-compensation and distribution strategy

Who this is for

  • Already have books in order but want strategic guidance.
  • Are planning a hire, expansion, or major purchase.
  • Need help interpreting cash flow, margin, or profitability trends.
  • Want a sounding board before making big financial decisions.

Why work with me

Twenty-five years as a Controller and CFO across manufacturing, higher education, engineering, and professional services — practical experience translating numbers into decisions, not theory.

FAQ

Common advisory questions

What's actually in a monthly advisory engagement?

A monthly close (financials finalized), a one-hour review meeting (what the numbers mean and what's coming), and ad-hoc support between meetings. Some clients also get Power BI dashboards refreshed weekly with live KPIs.

How is this different from a fractional CFO service?

Same idea, smaller scale. KRB engagements work for businesses that need senior financial guidance but don't have the volume to justify a full or fractional CFO. You get the same quality of analysis on a tighter cadence.
