How we help Tampa Bay companies.

Fractional CFO

Embedded part-time finance leadership for early scale and founder-led growth — cost discipline, infrastructure, and senior judgment without the full-time overhead.

Interim CFO

A full-seat operator deployed immediately to stabilize the business, restore reporting integrity, and bridge a leadership transition with a clean handoff.

Full-Time CFO Search

Exit-aligned, investor-ready CFO search sourced through a pre-vetted network with a value creation lens.

Specialized GovCon Operators

GovCon-specific complexity solved with senior operators — contracts, compliance, indirect rates, and DCAA-ready systems.

Built for Tampa.

Our Tampa engagements center on special operations support, C5ISR, and the services firms aligned to the MacDill commands, anchored by MacDill Air Force Base, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). 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.

Frequently asked.

Do you provide fractional CFO services in Tampa?

What kinds of companies do you work with in Tampa?

Our Tampa work centers on special operations support, C5ISR, and the services firms aligned to the MacDill commands. We bring deep GovCon-specific expertise — DCAA compliance, indirect rate structures, contract economics, and deal readiness — built for the agencies and primes anchored at MacDill Air Force Base, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM).

How is a fractional CFO different from an interim CFO?

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.

What makes Tampa different for finance leadership?

Tampa is the home of special operations and central command — anchored by MacDill Air Force Base. That means finance leaders here have to fluently handle federal contract accounting, indirect cost pools, and the compliance regime that CENTCOM, SOCOM, and the special-operations and intelligence contractors that support them demand.
