Fractional CFO & Accounting · San Francisco

Stop managing vendors. Start deploying infrastructure.

CFO Rick is a financial operating system for companies that are done drowning in spreadsheets: real-time numbers, a 4-day month-end close, and true multistate tax compliance.

  • 30+ years founder expertise
  • 4-day month-end close
  • 50-state sales tax nexus
  • Mexico office
A calm, modern San Francisco office at golden hour, with a person reviewing a clean financial dashboard on a laptop by a large window. Your numbers, finally in one place

The problem you're solving

Your numbers shouldn't be a second job.

Most companies are juggling a bookkeeper, a payroll provider, a tax preparer, and a stack of spreadsheets — and none of it talks to each other. Decisions get made on stale numbers. Surprises show up at tax time.

  • 01
    Disconnected tools that don't syncEvery vendor keeps its own version of the truth, so the numbers never line up.
  • 02
    Reports that arrive weeks lateBy the time the close lands, the moment to act has already passed.
  • 03
    No one accountable for the big pictureEveryone handles a slice. Nobody owns the whole financial picture.

The CFO Rick operating system

One system. One source of truth.

We replace the patchwork with a synchronized financial operating system: automated daily feeds, a 4-day month-end close, and owner-level dashboards you can actually act on.
