Mandie Whitlow

Transaction Advisory Expert

Mandie is a CPA and fractional CFO who has spent a decade walking into financially complex small and mid-market businesses and building the infrastructure that makes them run better, not just closing the books, but the systems, visibility, and decision-making foundation that let leaders actually run the business. Her background spans portfolio client leadership, financial operations design, FP&A, and commercial intelligence, and the core problems are consistent across industries: broken closes, missing visibility, and decisions made on gut feel instead of data.

Common Questions

FAQs About Finance Support for Small Businesses

Click any question to expand the answer.

We are growing fast and finance can't keep up. Where do you start?

We start by getting you visibility: a clear, current picture of cash, margin, and the numbers behind your EBITDA. From there we tighten the close and your controls so the numbers are trustworthy, then build the forecasting and reporting that let you make decisions ahead of time. Visibility, then control, then growth.

Do we need a full-time CFO, or is fractional enough?

It depends on your stage and complexity. Many growing businesses get everything they need from a fractional or interim CFO at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, then scale up as the business does. We will give you a straight answer about what your situation actually calls for, even if that is less than you expected.

Who actually does the work?

Experienced operators, accountants, and finance leaders you will know by name. We do not offshore your accounting or hand it to juniors. You will always know who is in your books and you can pick up the phone and reach them.

How quickly will we see a difference?

Fast. Because our people have done this before, they get up to speed quickly with minimal ramp time. Most clients feel the difference in weeks: a cleaner close, real visibility into cash, and forecasts they can actually use to make decisions.

We are not planning to sell. Why think about transaction readiness now?

Because the work that makes you transaction-ready (clean financials, defensible EBITDA, reliable reporting) is the same work that makes you run better day to day. Doing it early means you are ready whenever an opportunity, a raise, or an acquisition shows up, instead of scrambling under a deadline.
