SyncCFO provides fractional and interim CFO services for GovCon, defense, and PE-backed companies in San Diego — embedded financial leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.
San Diego is the largest concentration of naval power in the world — and a fast-growing defense-tech and unmanned-systems hub.
Embedded part-time finance leadership for early scale and founder-led growth — cost discipline, infrastructure, and senior judgment without the full-time overhead.
A full-seat operator deployed immediately to stabilize the business, restore reporting integrity, and bridge a leadership transition with a clean handoff.
Exit-aligned, investor-ready CFO search sourced through a pre-vetted network with a value creation lens.
GovCon-specific complexity solved with senior operators — contracts, compliance, indirect rates, and DCAA-ready systems.
Our San Diego engagements center on naval systems, maritime autonomy, C4ISR, and the defense-tech startups scaling in the region, anchored by Naval Base San Diego, NavWar (Naval Information Warfare Systems Command), and the Pacific Fleet. We bring the GovCon-specific muscle these organizations require — DCAA compliance, indirect cost pool architecture, contract economics, backlog quality, and exit readiness — calibrated to the agencies and primes that define the market.

Our San Diego work centers on naval systems, maritime autonomy, C4ISR, and the defense-tech startups scaling in the region. We bring deep GovCon-specific expertise — DCAA compliance, indirect rate structures, contract economics, and deal readiness — built for the agencies and primes anchored at Naval Base San Diego, NavWar (Naval Information Warfare Systems Command), and the Pacific Fleet.
A fractional CFO is embedded part-time to build capability while preserving capital flexibility — ideal for early scale or founder-led growth. An interim CFO is a full-seat operator deployed immediately to stabilize the business and bridge a leadership transition until a permanent hire is made.
San Diego is the largest concentration of naval power in the world — and a fast-growing defense-tech and unmanned-systems hub. That means finance leaders here have to fluently handle federal contract accounting, indirect cost pools, and the compliance regime that the Navy, NavWar, SPAWAR's successor commands, and the maritime and unmanned-systems programs based there demand.
Fractional, interim, or full-time search — matched to your stage and situation.
