Frequently asked questions
- What services does CFO for My Business offer?

- How much does CFO for My Business cost?
- CFO for My Business works on a monthly retainer structure, with engagements starting around $3k-$15k/month cited by own guide. Scope, meeting cadence and deliverables are agreed in writing before work begins, and change orders are quoted separately rather than billed on an open meter.
- What stage of company is CFO for My Business best for?

- Does CFO for My Business replace our bookkeeper or accountant?
- No. CFO for My Business is a strategic finance advisor, not a bookkeeping service. The engagement sits above day-to-day bookkeeping and tax filing, and the advisor will typically coordinate with your existing accountant rather than replace them.

- How do engagements with CFO for My Business typically end?
