From bookkeeping hygiene to CFO-level visibility, each piece connects into one operating rhythm. **Books**Accurate categorization, reconciliations, cleanup, and reliable monthly close. **Reporting**Monthly financials, KPIs, and budget vs. actuals that explain performance. **Cash**Collections, payables, runway, upcoming obligations, and safe spending. **Strategy**Planning, forecasting, growth decisions, and fundraising support when relevant. Numbers you can trust, cash you can see, decisions you can make with confidence. First Step ## Start with a Finance Function Audit. Not sure whether you need bookkeeping, controller support, or fractional CFO help? The audit gives you a clear read on what is working, what is breaking down, and what level of support makes sense next. In one focused review, you will know what to fix first and whether your business needs cleanup, monthly reporting, cash flow support, or CFO-level planning. [Start with an Audit](https://quintinicfo.pro#contact) [Compare Service Tiers](https://quintinicfo.pro#services) 1 **Books & close process** Review books, reconciliations, chart of accounts, cleanup needs, and monthly close reliability. 2 **Reporting & cash visibility** Assess whether reports, KPIs, cash flow, collections, payables, and obligations are decision-ready. 3 **Controls & bottlenecks** Identify weak handoffs, recurring finance issues, risk areas, and process gaps slowing the business down. 4 **Right-fit recommendation** Get a practical recommendation: bookkeeping, controller services, fractional CFO, or phased support. The Problem We Solve ## Basic bookkeeping stops being enough once the business gets more complex. Founders do not just need transactions categorized. They need a monthly finance rhythm, reporting they trust, cash visibility, and someone who can translate the numbers into operating decisions. **Late or messy books**Numbers are not current enough to support decisions. **Weak cash visibility**Profit looks fine, but upcoming obligations are unclear. **No finance owner**The CPA handles tax, but nobody owns operating finance each month. Services ## Three tiers that scale with your finance function. Start where the business is today. Add more reporting, controls, cash visibility, and CFO-level decision support as complexity increases. ① ### Bookkeeping & Monthly Close For businesses that need clean books and a reliable monthly close. **For** Founders whose books are behind, messy, inconsistent, or not ready for decisions. **Fixes** Unclear categorization, unreconciled accounts, delayed close, and year-end tax prep stress. **Includes** Transactions, reconciliations, monthly close, AP / AR support, QBO or Xero setup, cleanup, and year-end prep. **Outcome** Clean, current books that create the foundation for controller-level reporting. Core Offering ② ### Controller Services For companies that have grown beyond basic bookkeeping and need operating finance discipline. **For** Businesses that need monthly reporting, cash visibility, controls, and better financial cadence. **Fixes** Reactive finance, unclear cash position, missing KPIs, weak controls, and reporting that does not guide decisions. **Includes** Everything in monthly close, plus KPI dashboards, 13-week cash flow, budget vs. actuals, monthly reviews, and finance ops support. **Outcome** A real monthly finance rhythm that gives founders better control and clearer visibility. ③ ### Fractional CFO For founders who need senior finance support without hiring a full-time CFO. **For** Companies making bigger decisions around hiring, pricing, expansion, profitability, capital, or growth. **Fixes** Planning gaps, unclear scenarios, weak forecast visibility, and high-stakes decisions made without finance context. **Includes** Budgeting, forecasting, financial models, board or investor reporting, scenario planning, and fundraising support when relevant. **Outcome** CFO-level decision support layered on top of clean books and controller discipline. Cash Flow Visibility ## Stop managing your business from your bank balance. Profitable on paper does not always mean cash healthy. Founders need visibility into collections, payables, runway, upcoming obligations, and what spending is actually safe. QuintiniCFO helps turn cash from a daily anxiety into a management system. ### Cash visibility dashboard A clearer view of what cash is doing before it becomes urgent. Weekly / Monthly **Collections**What is expected, overdue, and at risk. **Payables**Vendor obligations, timing, and prioritization. **Runway**How long the current cash position supports operations. **Safe to spend**What can be spent without creating future cash pressure. Better cash visibility helps founders make calmer decisions around hiring, inventory, marketing, distributions, vendors, and growth. How We Work Together ## A clear operating rhythm for finance, month after month. The work creates consistency in the day-to-day while giving you the right level of financial support as decisions get bigger. 01 ### Diagnose & prioritize We review the books, close process, cash visibility, reporting, tools, controls, and bottlenecks so the highest-impact work comes first. 02 ### Clean up & stabilize We fix cleanup issues, organize the process, reconcile accounts, and create a more dependable monthly close and reporting cadence. 03 ### Run the rhythm Books are closed, reports are reviewed, cash is monitored, KPIs are discussed, and strategic finance support is added as needed. Tools We Work With ## We work inside the stack you already use — or help you choose a better one. The right tools matter less than having a clean process, clear ownership, and reliable reporting.

I'm Gustavo Quintini, founder of QuintiniCFO. I help founders and growing businesses build a finance function that actually works — from clean monthly books to controller-level reporting and CFO-level decision support. Most clients come to me because the books need cleanup and ownership, reporting is inconsistent, cash visibility is weak, or the business needs strategic finance support without the cost of a full-time finance hire. I have worked with multi-entity healthcare groups under liquidity pressure, SaaS platforms, consumer brands, manufacturers, and professional services firms — across industries where the finance complexity is real and the decisions are consequential. My work has been recognized across direct client engagements and platforms like Upwork, where I earned Top Rated Plus status. But the real measure is whether the numbers hold up when founders need to make decisions.

A practical overview of how the work is structured, what level of support makes sense, and how outsourced finance can scale with the business. Getting started How do I know which service tier I need? If you are not sure, the Finance Function Audit is the best starting point. We review your books, close process, reporting, cash visibility, controls, and bottlenecks, then recommend whether you need bookkeeping, controller services, fractional CFO support, or a phased path. What happens in the first 30 days? The first 30 days are focused on diagnosis, cleanup, and stabilization. We review your current books and finance process, identify urgent cleanup needs, understand your reporting gaps, align on priorities, and begin building the monthly finance rhythm. What if my books are behind? That is common. We can start with cleanup, reconciliations, chart of accounts review, prior-period review, and monthly close stabilization. The goal is to get the books current, reliable, and useful for reporting instead of only catching up for tax season. Scope of work Do you replace my CPA? Not usually. Your CPA typically handles tax planning, filing, and compliance. QuintiniCFO focuses on operating finance every month: close, reporting, reconciliations, cash visibility, controls, forecasting, and decision support. The goal is to work alongside your CPA and give them cleaner information. Do you offer fundraising support? Yes, but only as part of broader fractional CFO support. Fundraising-related work may include investor-ready models, financials for a pitch deck, scenario planning, and investor Q&A preparation. QuintiniCFO does not position fundraising as the core service and does not guarantee fundraising outcomes. What accounting software do you work with? QuintiniCFO primarily works with QuickBooks Online and Xero, and also supports tools like Bill.com, Gusto, Ramp, Stripe, Excel, and Google Sheets. If your stack is not fully set up yet, we can help improve or select the right tools. Engagement & pricing Can we start small? Yes. Many engagements start with a Finance Function Audit, cleanup project, or bookkeeping and monthly close support. As the business grows or the finance needs become more complex, the engagement can expand into controller services or fractional CFO support. How is pricing structured? Pricing depends on scope, transaction volume, entity complexity, cleanup needs, reporting requirements, and the level of ongoing support. After the initial review or call, you receive a clear proposal based on the work required rather than a one-size-fits-all package. What size of company do you work with? Most clients are founder-led businesses doing roughly $500K–$10M in annual revenue. The best fit is a growing operating business that needs clean books, reliable reporting, and finance support, but is not ready to hire a full internal finance team.
