Usually, it’s not about reaching a specific revenue level. It’s about reaching a point where the financial decisions are becoming more important—and the information or financial leadership you have today isn’t enough to make them confidently.

You may be trying to understand what is really driving profitability, build a reliable forecast, evaluate a new location or acquisition, decide how much you can afford to invest, raise capital, or prepare for a future transaction.

If those questions sound familiar, it may be time for CFO-level financial leadership. That’s exactly what we can explore in an initial consultation.

They serve different but complementary roles.

Your accounting team is the financial operating engine of the business. They keep the day-to-day financial processes running—billing and accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll processing, maintaining the books, closing the month, and producing accurate financial information. Your CPA typically provides specialized expertise around tax, audit, and other accounting matters.

A CFO is the financial management engine. We use that information to help you understand how the business is performing and decide with confidence what comes next. Who should we hire next? What technology or capabilities should we invest in? Can we afford another location? How should we finance growth? And what will those decisions mean for profitability, cash flow, and the value of the business over time?

Villajani works alongside your accounting team, controller, and CPA—not in place of them. They keep the financial operations running. We help management use the financial information to make better decisions about where the business goes next.

Yes. That’s actually our preferred model.

Your accounting team, bookkeeper, controller, CPA, and other specialists continue doing the work they do best. Villajani provides the financial leadership that connects their work to management decisions.

We help turn the numbers into better reporting, forecasts, plans, and decision support—so you have a clearer view of where the business stands and where it’s going.

We start with you—understanding your vision for the business, where you want to take it, and the challenges and decisions ahead.

Then, each month, we do the work before the management meeting. We work directly with your accounting and operations teams to understand the results, what is changing in the business, and why. We bring that information together, update the forecast, and identify the decisions that need your attention.

By the time we meet with you, the work of gathering information and asking the questions has already been done. We can focus the conversation on what the results mean, what lies ahead, and what decisions need to be made.

You get the financial insight to lead the business—without spending your time assembling it.

Our goal is to give you time back.

At the beginning, we spend more time with you to understand your vision, priorities, and business. After that, much of the ongoing work shifts to us.

Each month, we work directly with Accounting and Operations to gather the information, ask the questions, understand the results, and update the forecast before meeting with you.

Instead of spending hours going back and forth between teams trying to understand what happened, you come to the management meeting ready to decide what happens next.

You focus on leading and growing the business. We make sure you have the financial insight to do it with confidence.

Ongoing Villajani engagements typically range from $5,000 to $12,000 per month.

The right investment depends on the size and complexity of the business, the management team and financial infrastructure already in place, and the decisions we’ll help you navigate.

We typically work with founder-led companies from approximately $2 million to $30 million in annual revenue, from lean owner-led organizations to companies with established management teams.

Our goal is not to sell you more CFO support than you need. The engagement should make economic sense for your business and create value well beyond its cost—through better decisions, stronger financial management, and time back for you to focus on leading and growing the company.

A Financial Leadership Consultation helps us understand your business and determine what level of support—and investment—makes sense.

As your business grows, your Finance Function should grow with it.

Early on, the priority is usually building a strong accounting foundation—billing, collections, payables, payroll, accurate books, controls, and a reliable close.

As the business becomes more complex, the need changes. Management needs someone who can take that financial information, work with Accounting and Operations, maintain the forecast, and help the owner make better decisions about people, investment, growth, and capital. That’s where a fractional CFO can make sense.

Villajani engagements typically represent an annual investment of $60,000–$144,000, providing CFO-level financial leadership without adding a full-time executive before the business needs one.

Eventually, the role may become a full-time executive position. A full-time CFO can represent a $300,000–$400,000+ annual compensation commitment once salary, incentive compensation, benefits, and other employment costs are considered.

At that stage, you’re also hiring for a much broader role: daily executive leadership, capital deployment, risk management, and direct responsibility for building and leading the Finance Function. Depending on the company, the CFO may oversee the Controller and accounting team as well as other corporate functions such as Human Resources, IT, Legal, Procurement, or Administration. The role also includes hiring, developing, and evaluating the leaders and teams reporting into it.

Our goal is to help you grow into that position. We provide the financial leadership appropriate for the business today while helping build the Finance Function that a future full-time CFO can eventually inherit.

And when hiring that CFO becomes the better investment for your company, we’ll tell you.

Villajani is built for founder-led companies that have outgrown basic accounting but are not yet ready—or do not yet need—a full-time CFO.

We typically work with companies between approximately $2 million and $30 million in annual revenue. But revenue alone doesn’t determine whether the fit is right.

The better question is whether the business has reached a point where the owner is spending too much time trying to understand the numbers, coordinating between Accounting and Operations, and working through increasingly important decisions around hiring, investment, expansion, financing, or long-term growth.

That’s where Villajani can add the most value: we take ownership of the financial management process, give you a clearer view of where the business is heading, and give you back time to focus on leading and growing the company.

If that sounds like where your business is today, let’s have a conversation.
