What does Sync CFO do?
Sync CFO places fractional and
interim CFO servicess into GovCon, Defense, Cyber, National Security, and PE-backed companies at growth and exit inflection points. Every engagement is led by a Sync partner — operators with real PE and GovCon experience who have been in the seat. The firm serves companies from $5M to $600M in revenue across 50+ PE deals.
A fractional CFO for a GovCon company is a senior finance executive who works part-time — typically 2 to 3 days per week — to lead the finance function without the full-time cost. For GovCon companies this means expertise in DCAA compliance, indirect rate structure, contract-level economics, backlog quality, and exit readiness. Sync CFO's GovCon CFO practice is led by Steve Radanovic, a 27-year finance veteran with 20 years in GovCon, defense, and PE-backed companies.
What is the difference between a fractional CFO and an interim CFO?
A fractional CFO works part-time on an ongoing basis — right for companies that need CFO-level leadership but cannot justify a full-time hire. An interim CFO works full-time for a defined period — typically 6 to 12 months — deployed for leadership transitions, crisis response, or surge capacity around a capital raise or sale process. Sync CFO deploys both models and helps companies determine which is appropriate for their situation.

What industries does Sync CFO serve?
Sync CFO serves GovCon, Defense, Cyber, National Security, SaaS, and diversified mid-market companies — primarily PE-backed and founder-owned businesses from $5M to $600M in revenue. The firm specializes in regulated complexity and sponsor-tested environments where a generalist CFO would not have the domain expertise required.
Who leads the Sync CFO GovCon practice?
The GovCon CFO practice is led by Steve Radanovic, a corporate finance executive with 27 years of success across PE-backed and founder-owned businesses including multiple successful exits. Steve is a trusted strategic advisor to the C-suite, shareholders, and boards with a track record of building high-performing finance teams and driving operational excellence that lifts profitability and enterprise value in government contracting environments.
