Month-end close
Books closed in days, not weeks — so the numbers are current when you need them.
Fractional CFO & Accounting · San Francisco
CFO Rick is a financial operating system for companies that are done drowning in spreadsheets: real-time numbers, a 4-day month-end close, and true multistate tax compliance.
Your numbers, finally in one place
The problem you're solving
Most companies are juggling a bookkeeper, a payroll provider, a tax preparer, and a stack of spreadsheets — and none of it talks to each other. Decisions get made on stale numbers. Surprises show up at tax time.
The CFO Rick operating system
We replace the patchwork with a synchronized financial operating system: automated daily feeds, a 4-day month-end close, and owner-level dashboards you can actually act on.
Books closed in days, not weeks — so the numbers are current when you need them.
Know exactly where you stand today, not last month.
