Most companies your size cannot afford a full-time CFO, and believe they do not need one. So they run the business on the bank balance, which tells you what already happened, and never what is coming.
The close, the filings, the compliance, reports about the month that ended. Already covered. I don't do it, and you shouldn't pay me to.
Where the next euro goes. What the team is aiming at. Which decision to make now, while there's still time to make it. That's the gap.
Before we speak,
the software already knows
where you are leaking.
You run the readiness app first. It takes three minutes and scores your company against the benchmarks that matter at your size. Then we spend half an hour on a call with your gap map on the screen. You keep the result either way.
Thirteen questions, all multiple choice. No spreadsheet to send, no numbers to type, nothing stored that you did not choose.
Your score and your ranked gaps, live. I read them the way I would for a paying client, and you see exactly how I think before you decide anything.
Ranked, benchmarked, with the first move written for each one. Whether we ever work together is a separate conversation.
You have gaps.
You have goals.
I am the bridge.
Three stages, the same three every time. Here they are running end to end on a business that looks like yours. The numbers on the left are the ones your dashboard shows today.
You run the readiness app, it scores you against the benchmarks that matter at your size, names what is leaking and ranks it, so the first call starts at the answer instead of the questions.
Every action comes with the thing that executes it: a tracker, a model, an allocation rule, built on your numbers and yours to keep.
Cash, margin, or growth: you choose which one matters most, and that becomes the one number the work is judged on.
Your accountant tells you what happened. Nobody tells you what to do about it. That second half is the strategic CFO's job, the role that actually moves the numbers. Almost nobody does both, and nobody builds you what you need in between.
I don't do compliance. I drive growth. These are the tools I built to do it, and this is what they find.
The executive read on your real numbers: unit economics, the margin stack, and the bridge that shows exactly why profit moved. Not a report about a month that ended, a diagnosis while the month can still be changed.
Blended ROAS hides which channel actually pays. The Prism breaks acquisition down to contribution after product, shipping and fees, and shows the efficiency curve of every extra euro you put in.
Operating cash flow, statutory net flow, free cash, and the cash your own growth traps in working capital. Then the allocation waterfall: cost of capital, cost of growth, stress test, and the capital-structure flags.
Cash, runway and the metrics that have slipped, on your phone. Neo is the AI CFO built into it: ask about runway, risk or the next move and get the analysis back, without waiting for a call.

"Orazio is very professional and asks the right questions to quickly identify what will help a client to move the needle in their business."
He was then able to identify critical operational parameters for cashflow management and variance reporting in his organisation.
FRACTIONAL CFO
"The program's integrated web apps are also invaluable, they bring the theory to life, making everything practical."
He calls the Strategic CFO Operating System a practical, end-to-end toolkit, with templates he could use immediately.

INDUSTRIAL CFOs & PE PORTFOLIOS
"Orazio is an elite business strategist who is catalyst for enhancing profitability for businesses using advanced tools to enhance efficiency which gives him an edge over others."

FRACTIONAL CFO
"I think you've put together the complete CFO advisory. Comprehensive and impactful. All parts are necessary and you've maximized the efficiency and effectiveness of each."
There is no price list.
There is a ladder.
Each level adds one thing: how much of me sits inside it.
Your dashboards built and running, gaps surfaced and sized automatically, and a written report from me each month.
Everything in Essential, plus a video walkthrough on every gap that opens and a call with me each month.
Everything in Professional, plus the strategy work: capital allocation, pricing, the plan, and me in the room for the decisions that matter.
You subscribe, connect your numbers, and the software does the finding. The weekly read, the health score, the gap map, the whole stack, updating itself. No calls, no diary, and none of my time inside it.
We take the biggest gap the app found, agree what it is worth, and close it inside ninety days, with the tool built for it. One goal, one deadline, one number that has to move, read at the end by the same tool that set it.
The whole growth half of a finance function, run continuously. Bespoke dashboards built for your goals, gaps found and closed as they appear, and the decisions taken with the numbers in front of you rather than after.
Because a price list prices my time. Every fee here is a fraction of a number you have already seen and agreed. That is why you find out what the gap costs you before you find out what I cost.
If the answer you need is not here, ask it on the free strategy call. It costs nothing and there is no pitch at the end of it.
There is no price list, because no two businesses have the same gap. Yours gets measured first, and the fee is quoted against that number. The tools sit on a flat monthly fee. A ninety day sprint is a fixed fee, or a lower one plus a share of what actually moves. The CFO Office is priced against the finance function it replaces. You find out what the gap is costing you before you find out what I cost.
That depends which level you are on. Essential is your dashboards built and running, gaps surfaced and sized automatically, and a written report from me. Professional adds a video walkthrough on every gap that opens and a call with me each month. Enterprise adds the strategy work: capital allocation, pricing, the plan, and me in the room for the decisions that matter.
No. Whoever keeps your books carries on keeping them, and nothing has to move for us to start. My work sits on top of that: the decisions, the growth side, the numbers you act on rather than the ones you file. I am not here to replace anybody you already trust.
SaaS and ecommerce businesses between one and fifty million, with no finance team, run by a founder who is making decisions off the bank balance. If what you need is a clean up, a turnaround or bookkeeping rescue, I will tell you on the call and point you somewhere better.
You run the readiness app first, which takes three minutes. Then we share a screen with your gap map on it and I read it the way I would for a paying client. You keep the result whether we ever work together or not.
Most advisors work inside the accounting software you already pay for. I built my own: Fin Pulse, The ROAS Prism, CAFA and Swipe CFO. Your gaps get found by software before we ever speak, and every action comes with the tool that executes it, built on your numbers and yours to keep.
