Services · Fractional CFO
The layer above the books: forecasting, cash-flow strategy, and fundraising support for growing businesses — delivered with our fractional-CFO partner, Hudson CFO Solutions.
Most growing businesses hit the same wall: the books are clean and taxes are handled — but nobody is turning those numbers into strategy. You don't need a $250K full-time CFO. You need CFO-level thinking, part-time. That's exactly what this service delivers.
VarStan keeps your books accurate and tax-ready and stays your single point of contact. For the strategic finance layer, we partner with Hudson CFO Solutions, a CPA-led fractional-CFO firm that builds finance systems for owner-led businesses. The result is a seamless bridge from bookkeeping to boardroom — one relationship, two specialties.
Owner-led businesses roughly $2M–$50M in revenue that have outgrown bookkeeping alone — especially those scaling, seeking bank financing, planning a capital event, or preparing for a sale. Common fits: contractors and trades, franchises, family businesses, and tech-enabled services.
Rolling, real-time visibility so you always know your cash position a full quarter ahead.
Models that connect your operations to your P&L and cash — so you can see the impact of every decision before you make it.
A monthly close cadence, KPI framework, and CFO reporting pack that runs on a system — not on one person.
Loan-ready books, lender packages, and hands-on support through raises, acquisitions, and exits.
The handful of numbers that actually drive your business, reviewed with you every month.
Assessments to modernize your finance stack as you scale.
VarStan keeps your bookkeeping, tax, and compliance accurate and current.
Hudson CFO builds your forecast, model, and reporting system on top of those numbers.
VarStan coordinates it all — CFO-level guidance without managing two vendors.
