About CFO Advisors

CFO Advisors is the fractional CFO firm behind more than 100 venture-backed startups, including companies backed by Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer, Y Combinator, General Catalyst, and Bain Capital. We build the financial infrastructure founders need to raise, scale, and win: investor-ready models, board reporting, fundraising support, and finance operations that run through the tools teams already use.

Our clients’ investors have called our financial models “one of the best they’d seen” - and our work has been credited in oversubscribed rounds, 10x cost-saving engagements, and forecast accuracy that consistently exceeds 95%. You can read what founders say about working with us on our testimonials page.
