Scaling Smart with Fractional CFO Services

The Challenge

BrightWell was a fast-growing digital marketing agency generating consistent revenue—but the founder, Emma, was making major financial decisions in the dark. With no in-house CFO and limited financial forecasting, she couldn’t confidently plan for scaling or manage cash flow effectively.

“I knew we had potential, but I didn’t know what we could actually afford to do next. Hiring a full-time CFO just wasn’t an option.” — Emma C., Founder of BrightWell

The Solution

Golden Ledger stepped in with our Outsourced CFO Services starting at $1,500/month. We began with a deep-dive financial analysis and implemented:
✅ Cash flow forecasting
✅ Budget vs. actual tracking
✅ Growth modeling and KPI dashboards
✅ Investor-ready financials for a pitch deck

The Results

  • Reduced unnecessary expenses by 18%

  • Secured a $200K line of credit with proper financials

  • Built a hiring plan to support 3X growth within 12 months

  • Gained clarity on pricing and profitability

The Impact

With senior-level guidance at a fraction of the cost, BrightWell made smart, confident decisions—without overextending.
