SERVICES
Growing businesses often need a repeatable close, useful management reporting, forward-looking cash analysis, and an accountable finance cadence before they need or can support a full internal finance team. Tavella CPA Group provides separately scoped fractional CFO and controller advisory with written deliverables, systems, responsibilities, timing, staffing assumptions, and meeting cadence.

Discuss Fractional CFO SupportRECORDS AND FACTS
The engagement begins by identifying the accounting system, record quality, close process, recurring reports, cash needs, key decisions, reporting audience, and client team responsible for source records and approvals.
BEFORE YOU REQUEST A CALL
The initial assessment evaluates the books, close readiness, reporting needs, planning horizon, systems, staff responsibilities, and deadlines. The engagement then defines recurring or project deliverables, assumptions, meeting cadence, source-data cutoff, client approvals, and the boundary between bookkeeping, controller oversight, CFO advisory, tax work, and external professional services.
ANTICIPATED DELIVERABLE
The exact package is tailored and listed in the signed engagement rather than implied by the service name.
COMMON QUESTIONS
No. Bookkeeping records transactions and reconciles accounts. Controller and CFO work may oversee close quality, management reporting, forecasts, KPIs, scenarios, and decisions. Any bookkeeping included is identified separately in the engagement.
Potentially, when the audience, source records, form, assumptions, timing, and responsibility are accepted in writing. The service does not provide assurance, a financing commitment, or a solvency or valuation opinion.
No. Management remains responsible for records, controls, estimates, assumptions, approvals, operations, financing, and decisions. Tavella CPA Group provides only the advisory and reporting work listed in the engagement.
Do not send tax returns, taxpayer identification numbers, payroll files, bank records, ownership documents, or other sensitive information through the public contact form or ordinary email. Secure upload instructions are provided only after Tavella CPA Group accepts the engagement and opens the appropriate client workflow.
No. A request does not create a CPA-client relationship, start work, guarantee acceptance, or reserve a filing or response deadline. Work begins only after acceptance, conflict and capacity review where applicable, and a signed written engagement that identifies the scope, responsibilities, timing, and fee.
