ENTERPRISE VALUE FOCUSED CFO SERVICES
Can you afford to grow?
Most owners are guessing.
The next hire. The second truck. The bigger space. The contract that would double your volume. These are the decisions that build or erode what this business is worth, and most owners make them on a P&L that arrives three weeks late and a gut feel about the bank balance.
For owner-operated companies from $1M to $30M in annual revenue
80 to 90%
of the of an owner's net worth sits inside
the business, and most of it has never been measured
Three weeks late
is how old the average owner's financial picture is when the decision has to be made
One number
is what a buyer, a lender, or a successor will use to judge everything you built
THE GAP
You have a bookkeeper.
You may have a controller.
Nobody is telling you what
the
numbers mean.
Most companies in this range have someone who records what happened and someone who reports it. What they do not have is the seat that reads those numbers forward: what the margin trend does to cash in six months, which customer is quietly unprofitable, whether the next hire pays for itself, and what all of it does to what the business is worth.
That seat is the CFO seat. At your size, a full-time CFO is not the answer. An
empty seat is not either.
Profit you cannot see
Revenue is up and the bank balance is not. Somewhere between the two, margin is leaking through pricing, mix, labor, or terms, and the monthly report is not built to show you where.
Cash you cannot predict
Growth consumes cash before it returns it. Without a forward view, every good month creates the next tight one, and the decision to expand gets made on hope.
Value you have never measured
Whatever you plan to do with this business eventually, sell it, hand it down, or step back from it, the number that decision depends on has never been calculated, so nothing you do today is aimed at it.
WHAT WE DO
Know the number. Grow the number. Convert it
into value.
41 Legacy is a fractional CFO and enterprise value advisory firm. We fill the CFO seat for owner-operated companies, and we do it with one difference: every financial decision is judged twice. Once for what it does to profit and cash. Once for what it does to what the business is worth to someone other than you.
A decision can raise profit and lower enterprise value at the same time. Most fractional CFOs only see the first half. We were built to see both.
One
Know the Number
Six weeks. We establish where the profit actually comes from, where the cash actually goes, and what the business is actually worth today. You leave with a clear financial picture and the two or three levers that matter most.
Two
Grow the number
The ongoing CFO seat. A monthly rhythm built around forward-looking decisions, not backward-looking reports: pricing, margin, working capital, hiring, capacity, and capital allocation, each one run through both lenses.
Three
Convert the number
When the time comes to sell, transfer, or step back, the business is already built for it. Value growth and exit readiness are not a separate project bolted on at the end. They are what the CFO seat was aiming at the whole time.
WHO IS THIS FOR
Built for owners who have
already done the hard part.
You built something real. Revenue between $1M and $30M. A team. Customers who come back. What you have not had is a financial partner at the strategic level, someone who can read the business the way a buyer or a lender would and tell you plainly what to do next.
$1M to $30M in annual revenue
Owner-operated, with the owner still in most major decisions
Growing, flat, or preparing for a transition in the next 3 to 10 years
Tired of reports that describe the past and say nothing about the future
"Today's cash flow decisions are tomorrow's enterprise value."
Mike Laskowski, Founder · 41 Legacy
