CFO Advisory
For most of our clients, MarathonCFO serves as an outsourced CFO - delivering pristine books, full-service accounting as well as financial and business consulting; a touchstone to experts when you need them at a price point that you've never had access to.
We are able to act in this capacity because we have been spent most of our careers working in strategic roles with everything from the start-up "shoe box" record keeping to the behemoth ERP based global, multi-national publicly traded companies. As leaders in these organizations, we have had to take on a number of operating and back-end infrastructure projects without large budgets and dedicated domain experts to rely on. We have been involved in standardizing best practices in HR information systems, on-boarding new hires, lean manufacturing methods, and other operating disciplines.
As a result, our clients often end up relying on us for strategic advice and a broader range of services. And, because the entrepreneurial spirits and start ups are in our blood, we know how to find new growth and savings opportunities that help them grow smartly and profitably.
