A line-level read of your P&L
I go through the P&L line by line and show you where the money actually goes. Ten years of doing exactly that inside Chico's, on nine-figure numbers.
FRACTIONAL CFO / COO
Fractional CFO and COO for owner-run businesses.
My price sits on the same page as the published market rates it competes against, so you can check the number before you call.

$7,500 fixed fee
Diagnostic
Three quantified findings and a 90-day plan, scoped before it starts.
Not an open-ended retainer.
Start the diagnostic: $7,500 $5,000 per month
Strategic advisory
I am in the numbers and reachable, month to month.
Not embedded day to day.
Start advisory: $5,000/mo $10,000 per month
Embedded operating partner
I run the monthly rhythm: close, forecast, and the numbers that decide the quarter.
Not a fractional hire you manage.
Start embedded: $10,000/moInterim COO work, through a reorganization, turnaround, or acquisition integration, starts from $15,000/mo. Refund terms: if the diagnostic does not deliver three findings, each sized in dollars, plus a 90-day plan within 30 days of my receiving your numbers and finishing the interviews, the $7,500 is refunded in full.
Interim COO: $15,000/moStart the 90-day fix: $30,000

Published market rates: $3K–$12K/mo or $150–$500/hr for a fractional CFO (source: Eightx, 2026); $3K–$15K/mo or $200–$500/hr for a fractional COO, with $5K–$10K/mo common at $8M–$50M revenue for 15–30 hrs/week (source: Kamyar Shah, 2026).
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything a CFO and COO would do. Plus the doing.
Margin by product or service
What is profitable and what only looks busy. The same read that repriced Jonas' Vegan Kitchen and produced its two best months on record.
Labor as a percent of revenue
Whether your staffing cost makes sense against what comes in, and the hire you may not need. The discipline that took a manufacturer from $2M to $18M in four years.
Pricing and cash, months ahead
Your prices tested against your margins, and your cash mapped forward so payroll and the slow season stop surprising you.
A monthly rhythm you can read
Close, forecast, and the handful of numbers that matter, on one page, every month. Decisions get made on it instead of on a feeling.
The doing, not just the deck
When a number is broken because a system is broken, I build the fix: the AI phone agent, the lead automation, the form that was sending BAC Builders' leads to someone else's inbox.
PROOF
$5.1M/yr Structural efficiency
Management restructuring saved $5.1M annually; a scheduling redesign added 1.5M selling hours in 18 months while cutting selling cost 300 basis points.
+37% August revenue, year over year
Jonas' Vegan Kitchen: July and August 2026 were the two best revenue months in the store's history. Numbers cited with the owner's approval, 2026-09-14.
$2M → $18M COO run, four years
COO of an electronics manufacturer through $2M to $18M in four years.
“I was headed for bankruptcy, pricing everything by feel. Eric started with my numbers, not my website, repriced what was losing money, plugged the orders leaking under my minimum, then rebuilt the store. July and August were the two best months in my business’s history.”
HOW THE DIAGNOSTIC RUNS
How the diagnostic runs, week by week.
- Weeks 1–2: read the business. The books as they are, plus management interviews.
- Weeks 3–4: the findings. Three quantified items, each with its arithmetic and its cost.
- The 90-day plan. Sequenced by what pays first. If you stop here, the plan is yours.
- If it continues: a monthly rhythm. A close you can trust and a forecast checked against actuals.
THE FIRST STEP
Tell me what should be working that isn't. I'll reply within one business day.
Tell me the one number that should be working and isn't: margin, labor as a percent of revenue, cash, a price that hasn't moved while costs did. I'll reply within one business day with what the work is and what it costs. If the number is the P&L itself, that's the $7,500 diagnostic above: fixed fee, scoped before it starts, up to $5,000 credited against whatever we build next.

QUESTIONS Tell me what's broken
Direct answers.
What does it cost?
The diagnostic is $7,500 fixed fee, with up to $5,000 credited against work started within 30 days. Advisory is $5,000/mo, embedded is $10,000/mo, interim COO starts at $15,000/mo.
What is the difference between a fractional CFO and a consultant?
A consultant recommends and leaves. A fractional CFO owns the model and the number, and is still there when the recommendation meets a real org chart.
Do I have to start with the $7,500 diagnostic?
It is the sane starting point, and up to $5,000 of it is credited against any implementation started within 30 days.
How much of your time do I get?
At $5,000/mo, strategic advisory, I am in the numbers and reachable, not embedded. At $10,000/mo, embedded operating partner. From $15,000/mo, interim COO through a reorganization, turnaround or acquisition integration.
Is there a contract?
Retainers are month-to-month, cancel anytime. The diagnostic is a fixed fee for a fixed scope, quoted before it starts.
