Turn your numbers into confident decisions.

Turning financial signals into cash flow clarity, forecasts, targets, and operating decisions for owners who need a strategic finance partner.

Book an Intro Call

Your numbers are trying to tell you something. We help you act on it.

Financials are often the signal, not the root issue. We interpret what they reveal, then connect the next step to sales, operations, leadership, and cash.

Cash flow forecasting

See what cash is coming, what is going out, and when decisions get tight.

Financial review

Understand what the numbers are saying, where the pressure is, and what needs attention first.

Budgets and projections

Turn goals into practical budgets, rolling projections, and scenarios you can manage against.

Targets and goals

Set the few numbers that matter, then build the rhythm to keep the team accountable.

When This Matters

Financial issues rarely stay financial.

Profit, cash, hiring, pricing, and team accountability often show up in the numbers before they show up clearly in the business.

Common Signals

Profit is lagging revenue.

Cash feels unpredictable.

Big decisions need a model.

The team needs clearer targets.

We do not stop at the numbers.

We help connect what the financials reveal to what the business needs to change next.

How We Work Together

Built around your next financial decisions.

No rigid packages. We scope the work around the outcomes, cadence, and support your business actually needs.

Starting Point

Financial Audit

A fast way to see the financial gaps before deciding what kind of support makes sense.

  • Financial health, CFO readiness, and blind spot assessments
  • Clear score, findings, and areas to address first
  • Useful whether you are ready to hire help or still getting oriented

Ongoing Partnership

Fractional CFO Support

Ongoing strategic finance support for owners who want a partner in the room, not another vendor in the stack.

  • Monthly CFO reviews and operating rhythm
  • Forecasting, dashboards, KPIs, and cash flow visibility
  • Decision support for hiring, pricing, operations, growth, and capital needs

Focused Projects

Project-Based Advisory

Focused help for a model, dashboard, cash plan, pricing review, or finance-driven operating issue.

  • Forecast builds, scenario models, and long-range planning
  • KPI dashboards, finance systems, and process improvement
  • Fundraising prep, M&A support, lender reporting, and profitability analysis

Most ongoing engagements start around $2,000/month and scale with scope, complexity, and the level of support needed to get where you need to go.

Getting to the next decision is simple.

About

Nick, Founder of Ridgeline CFO

I spent my career leading FP&A functions and advising decision-makers on the operational and financial decisions that shape a business. But I'm also a builder who is invested in the success of your business. I started Ridgeline CFO because I saw too many companies with solid revenue and clean books, but no one helping them figure out what to do next. The finance seat is either empty or filled by someone who was not built for strategy.

I'm here to fill that gap with practical financial judgment, modern tools, and the accountability to help you scale profitably.

Frequently asked questions

Can you support bookkeeping or accounting needs?

Yes. If you already have a bookkeeper, accountant, or tax partner, we can work with them. If you need support, we can coordinate bookkeeping or accounting through trusted partners.

What size companies do you work with?

We primarily partner with businesses in the $1M–$30M revenue range. This is the sweet spot where financial complexity has outpaced your current systems, but you're not ready for a $300k+ full-time CFO.

Outside this range? We also offer project-based advisory work if a monthly retainer doesn't fit your needs. Let's chat.

How much does it cost?

A full-time CFO runs $300k+ per year. We give you that same expertise at a fraction of the cost.

All engagements are custom and scoped to your needs. While most fall between $2,000–6,000/month, pricing will vary based on your scope, complexity, and goals. We also offer project-based pricing for one-time engagements.

What does a typical engagement look like?

We start by learning where you are trying to go, reviewing your financials, and identifying the highest-priority gaps. From there, we build a practical roadmap, usually around cash flow, forecasting, KPIs, operating rhythms, and the financial decisions coming up next. Ongoing work is scoped around the support your team needs.

How is this different from hiring a consultant?

Traditional consultants drop in, deliver a report, and leave you to figure it out alone. We embed as an ongoing part of your team with regular calls and 24/7 Slack access. We help connect the numbers to the operational work, then stay close enough to help move it forward.
