Real Outcomes

These are three real client stories that we are succinctly highlighting to illustrate our impact.

01

MedTech

Margin slipped and nobody could tell you why. We found it and fixed it, more than 8 points in one client's case.

02

Creative

The two biggest clients pulled back, and the forecast stopped being true. We rebuilt it in a week.

03

Professional Services

You are raising or selling, and the numbers aren't presentation-ready. We've taken founders through both.

Senior CFO expertise. Fractional commitment.

Your CFO works directly with you as the founder, becoming a trusted financial partner who understands the business, challenges your thinking when needed, and helps you make smarter decisions as you grow. Astero Group CFOs are not Controllers. We are proactive advisors who know your industry.

Not sure what this section will be yet.

I want to put something here and keep the picture. I'm just not sure what this will be yet. I'll think about it tomorrow on a fresh brain.

What we do

Senior CFO work scope to what your business actually needs. No time sheets, no long-term commitment. Cancel anytime.

Reports You Can Read

A custom ad often graphical report package, not a QuickBooks export. What's working, what's slipping, and what to do about it in plain language.

Forecasting & Budgeting

A real forecast: 13 weeks of cash when things are tight, and 1 to 2 years when you're planning. Built so you can see what's coming and make decisions before the month is over

Profitability and margins

We find where the money is leaking per product, per client, and per job, and tell you the truth about which parts of the business are actually making money. One client gained more than 8 points of margin.

Acquisitions & exits

The model, the story, and the numbers behind them, built to survive due diligence. We've taken founders through raising and through selling.

Oversight

Oversight of your bookkeeping and tax: we don't do either, and we won't let bad inputs wreck your reporting. If your bookkeeper or tax preparer isn't giving you strategy, we're the ones who will say so.

Interim CFO

When the seat is suddenly empty or you need real CFO leadership through a transition or an acquisition, we can put an experienced CFO in place for as long as it takes.

Who this isn't for

If your business is outside the U.S., generates less than $2 million in annual revenue, or needs only bookkeeping or tax preparation, we’re probably not your firm. We focus on CFO services. We do know excellent people for the other stuff and you can view our partner directory at the link in the footer of this website.
