Client review summary
Most reviews of Todd H highlight a "senior-operator" feel — clients say the work product reads like it came from a long-tenured CFO rather than a part-time contractor.
On the service side, reviewers most often mention fractional cfo for startup or small business — work is delivered in shared workspaces with clean documentation rather than one-off spreadsheets. Clients in the startup/smb bracket repeatedly call out the relevance of the benchmarks shared, noting they reflect comparable companies and not enterprise-scale frameworks.
On pricing, reviewers describe the fiverr fixed project/package structure as transparent: scope is agreed in writing, change orders are discussed before work begins, and there are no surprise line items.
Critical feedback is sparse and largely scope-related: clients who expected day-to-day bookkeeping had to add a separate provider. Net of pros and cons, the recurring theme is that Todd H pays back the retainer within the first quarter through tighter forecasting and a cleaner cap-table and reporting story.

Frequently asked questions
- What services does Todd H offer?
- Todd H typically covers fractional cfo for startup or small business. Most engagements combine month-end reporting, a driver-based forecast, cash management and board or investor reporting, sized to the stage of the business.
- How much does Todd H cost?
- Todd H works on a fiverr fixed project/package structure, with engagements starting around from €321 per project. 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 Todd H best for?
- Todd H is best suited to startup/smb companies that need senior finance leadership but do not yet justify a full-time CFO. Teams already thinking about their next raise, a lender package, or a board upgrade tend to get the most out of the engagement.
- How quickly can Todd H start?
- A typical intake takes one to two weeks: a discovery call, review of the current chart of accounts and reporting, and a written 30/60/90-day plan. Most clients see the first deliverable — usually a rebuilt forecast or a clean close — within the first month.
- Does Todd H replace our bookkeeper or accountant?
- No. Todd H 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.
- Is Todd H available remotely or on-site?
- Todd H operates from remote across the US and delivers most work remotely, with on-site or in-person availability for board meetings, investor pitches and lender negotiations when the engagement calls for it.
- How do engagements with Todd H typically end?
- Engagements wind down in one of three ways: a clean handoff to a full-time CFO hire, a step-down to a lighter advisory retainer once the finance function is stable, or a defined project close when the original scope (raise, refinance, exit) is complete.
