A bookkeeper records transactions and keeps your books current. A controller oversees the accounting function: close process, reconciliations, financial reporting, and compliance. A fractional CFO does all of that while adding the strategic layer: cash flow forecasting, margin analysis, pricing and hiring decisions, capital planning, and financial modeling for growth. Think of it as a spectrum from recordkeeping to reporting to strategy.
Most founder-led businesses outgrow their bookkeeper well before they can afford a full-time CFO — that's exactly the gap a fractional CFO fills.

Camacho Consulting Co. provides financial advisory and accounting services, including audit preparation and support. We do not perform attest engagements — including audits, reviews, or compilations — or issue opinions subject to professional standards.
If your engagement requires an attest service, we're happy to refer you to a licensed CPA firm equipped to meet those needs.
-
Yes — through our Accounting Services line, we can take the entire accounting function off your plate. Depending on your situation, that could mean transaction management, books cleanup, month-end close, controller oversight, or a fully outsourced accounting department.
I work with a trusted bookkeepers on the execution side, so you have one point of contact managing the full accounting function, not a separate bookkeeper and CFO you're coordinating between.
If you already have a bookkeeper or an accounting team, I'll work with them. If you don't, I can bring one in. Scope and price are confirmed after the discovery call based on your actual situation.
-
No. Camacho Consulting Co. provides fractional CFO and financial advisory services not tax preparation or tax filing. We handle financial strategy, reporting, and operational accounting. For tax preparation we're happy to refer you to a trusted CPA firm. If you're a current client, we'll coordinate directly with your tax preparer to ensure they have everything they need at year-end.
-
Every engagement is priced on the value it delivers. Structured as a fixed-fee project, a monthly retainer, or an annual arrangement with a transparent scope and price agreed upon before any work begins. After an initial discovery call, you'll receive a clear recommendation on which engagement fits your situation and exactly what it costs. No hidden fees. No surprises
-
Primarily QuickBooks Online and Quickbooks Desktop through secure remote access. If you're currently on a different platform we'll assess whether it meets the needs of your business or whether a migration makes sense — that evaluation is part of the Financial Clarity Audit. We do not recommend switching platforms simply for the sake of it. The best system is the one your team will actually use correctly.
-
No — and in most cases you shouldn't try. Cleaning up books without understanding the underlying issues often creates new problems. The Financial Diagnostic is designed to assess your books as they currently are, identify what needs to change, and build a prioritized plan for getting your financial infrastructure in order. Starting from where you are is the point.
-
Monthly retainer clients can cancel with 30 days written notice — no long-term contracts, no cancellation fees. Annual prepay clients who cancel early receive a prorated refund for unused months minus a one-month early termination fee. We don't lock clients into engagements. If the fit isn't right, we'd rather part ways cleanly than deliver work that isn't serving you.
-
Yes. A meaningful portion of practice capacity is reserved each year for nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations that need CFO-level financial thinking but can't afford market rates. A defined portion of practice capacity is reserved each year for qualifying organizations at reduced rates or no cost.
To inquire, book a discovery call and note your organization type in the intake form. Availability is limited and engagements are assessed individually.
