Brady CFO

Dog-tired of your accounting function just not working in your small biz and feeling like you lack the insights or strategy to propel your business financially forward? 

As President of Brady CFO, I understand that many small and medium-sized businesses don’t have the budget to bring a full-time CFO on board. 

And as a business owner, you're tired of trying to wear the CFO hat. 

The hat either doesn't fit, or you've run out of the capacity to play that role. 

Your time needs to be spent on more strategic functions and business development. 

And that is where we can help. 

With Brady CFO, you can leave the stress of managing your finances behind and get back to operating within your strengths. You can finally focus on what matters most to allow your business to thrive.

Brady CFO offers part-time CFO services to businesses that need it the most. 

Brady CFO specializes in small, lower-medium-size businesses. Brady CFO has expertise in the food, ag, distribution/logistics, and professional services segments. 

Brady CFO can help you to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of your financial reporting, develop long-term strategies for your accounting team build-out, cultivate financial tactics focused on cash management and margin improvement, provide expert finance planning guidance for large-scale asset acquisitions, and procure credit financing for any existing gaps in current cash flow.

I started as the Director of Finance & Supply Chain. I could have stayed in this position and oversaw financial reporting and supply chain compliance activities. And that would have been fine...

But, that’s not me. 

Most of my colleagues described me as a “dog with a bone.” 

If there was a problem to solve, I was hungry to solve it. 

Because of my voracity to solve deep problems of inefficiencies and help the finance and supply chain function not be seen as just another back-office necessity, I was eventually promoted to CFO and oversaw the financial strategy of a group of 7+ entities with total combined revenues of greater than $100M. 

I did this while still overseeing the supply chain strategy and development of our business, helping acquire and oversee 2 entities, starting a new ecommerce venture, and selling our parent company and forming an ESOP. 

I achieved my mission of changing the perception of a CFO from “number-cruncher” to strategic business partner.

Everyone has their own conference and trade show strategy… 

I’ve personally found that sales and business development requires you to move outside of your comfort zone, a lot. 

You have to do things that are uncomfortable and that can suck. 

So, I’ve done booths. 

I’ve talked on stage. 

And I’ve learned my preferences and what strategies actually work well. 

But, I’m a highly relational person. 

And believe that people do business with folks they trust. 

And the best way to build that trust is to simply break bread. And of course usually talk about our kids. 

So, pre-game before Dirt World has been 5 coffees and lunch sessions with folks I’ve never met in person but built relationships with online. And quite honestly, there is nothing quite like breaking bread in person. 

Looking forward to Dirt World now! 

Chris L. was everything I expected in person. 

Ryan Fridborg, SPHR, SHRM-SCP you missed out.

I help fractional CFOs and accountants build multiple 6 and 7-figure advisory firms through coaching and community.

I started building my Fractional CFO firm, KFE Solutions, 8+ years ago.

On my journey, I looked for a mentor that could show me how to build a firm that right way.

I looked for a community of other impact-drive Fractional CFOs that could support me and encourage me.

I couldn't find either.

I ended up making massive mistakes that ended up severely slowing my growth and costing me hundreds of thousands in lost profits.

Today, I have a firm and a team that I'm proud of. I've made it my mission to help firm owners that are coming after me avoid the mistakes I made so they can build the firm of their dreams faster.

That's why I built The CFO Accelerator.

Since launching, I've had the privilege of mentoring THOUSANDS of firm owners through our Inner Circle community, our flagship course called The CFO Academy, our annual conference called The CFO Accelerator LIVE, and our podcast and YouTube channels.  

If you're trying to scale your firm and your impact, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Let's get to work. Together.

I help fractional CFOs and accountants start, scale, and optimize their advisory services.

I've been tracking data on the Fractional CFO industry since 2023.
And this data point is beyond interesting... 

Here's how the number of Fractional CFOs on LinkedIn has grown since April of 2023: 

April 2023: 6,300+
April 2024: 13,000+
April 2025: 18,000+
November 2025: 21,000+

So that begs the question: 

Is the Fractional CFO industry saturated or is there still room to grow?

I'm putting together my thoughts on this question but I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! 👇

I help Fractional CFOs start and scale their firms.

We all need someone in our life that just isn’t that impressed with us.

Once your Fractional CFO firm hits $500k to $750k in revenue, where do you go from there? 

It's interesting because at this stage, 
It's no long about proving you can BUILD a firm. 
It's about proving you can SCALE a Fractional CFO firm.

In a lot of ways, everything has to change.

The strategies. 
The standards.
The conversations. 

That's why I created The Elite Mastermind.

It's for Fractional CFO firm owners that have hit the $500k revenue mark and want to blow past 7-figures in 2026. 

We just opened applications for our 2026 cohort. 

👉 DM me for details. 

📌 This is becoming THE PLACE Fractional CFO firm owners come to hit 7- and multiple 7-figures. I'd love to tell you why.

Being a fCFO isn't always rainbows and butterflies!

Sometimes you'll have to handle tough calls... 

Let me start by saying this:
I love the work that we do in our industry! 

We have a unique opportunity to help our clients unlock additional profits, pay down debt, hire more people, and change lives - goose bump kinda stuff! 

But you're also likely to have to make some tough calls and make some hard decisions. Three of the toughest include: 

• Saying no to a prospect
• Not being able to serve a client any longer
• Getting harsh feedback from an irate client

These calls are inevitable and you can't hide from them.

So how you handle them means everything. 

I recently put together a free guide covering exactly how to handle each of these three types of calls.

2025 was a hard year for a lot of Fractional CFOs.
In many ways, it was more of the same... 

Same profit
Same revenue
Same problem with leads
Same problem with business growth

The only thing that WASN'T the same was the amount of hours you worked 
(Which trended in the wrong direction)

What went wrong? 

It turns out there are 5 hidden patterns that are low-key sabotaging even the smartest, hardest working firm owners. 

The bad news? 
If you want 2026 to be better than 2025, you'll have to break those patterns.

The good news? 
Those patterns are 100% solvable - which means 2026 should be your best year ever.

What are those patterns and how do you solve them? 

Join me on Wednesday, November 12 at 2pm ET / 11am PT for my Best Year Ever webinar.

I'm going to show you: 
• The 4 pillars for breakout growth in 2026
• The 5 hidden patterns that held you back in 2025
• Why 2026 is shaping up to be a rare opportunity for fCFOs

This isn't a rah-rah pep talk. 

It's a practical blueprint designed off of what I'm seeing work inside the fastest growing firms right now.

The amount of metrics a Fractional CFO COULD be monitoring as they scale from $100k to $500k can be dizzying.... 

Leads
Discovery calls
Sales calls 
Proposals sent
New clients
Revenue
Gross Profit
Net Profit
Time to value for clients
Client lifetime 
Revenue/profit/cash generated for clients

If you could only pick THREE to monitor, what would they be and why? 
Did I forget any? 

Let me know!
