"Running a business, unsure if I was doing it right... really weighed on me."

—Page Campbell, General Manager of Carolina ColorTones

What keeps you up at night

is what gets us up each morning.

Financial uncertainty is a business owner’s worst nightmare. The faster you grow, the more complex it gets. We know. We’ve been around the block a few hundred times. We’re here for you: to simplify the complex and transform your uncertainty into confidence.  

Bridge

The Gap

"We were growing but had limited budget for financial oversight."
—Joseph Hackett, Executive Director of Green Opportunities

It’s called the gap—you don’t have the financial expertise to manage your growth, but aren’t ready for a full-time CFO—and every growing business must cross it.

You need someone there, someone you can trust, to help guide you through the transition until a full-time CFO makes sense. That’s why we’re here.

Our team of CFOs helps small and mid-sized businesses cross ‘the gap.’ We work onsite or virtually as part of your management team, providing the financial leadership and day-to-day management you need to get to the other side.

—Mike Estes, Chief Lending Officer of First Community Bank

The Secret Sauce

"My Kaplan CFO gave me confidence in my role as CEO—I'm forever grateful."

—Karen Short, CEO of Universal Companies

Within every Kaplan CFO is the heart of an entrepreneur. We left the corporate grind because we wanted to get back to building businesses with clients we believe in. So, besides having a lifetime of C-Suite experience, we each love what we do. That’s our secret sauce; it’s what creates the trust and success we share with our clients.
