The engagement

Senior-level financial leadership, without the full-time commitment.

Often engaged during transitions or periods of growth, I step in when a CFO departs or when the role hasn’t yet been built. I bring clarity to your numbers, stabilize cash flow, and implement reporting that supports confident decision making.

When this fits

Common scenarios where companies bring me in.

  • A CFO has just departed and continuity is at risk
  • The business has outgrown its controller but isn’t ready for a full-time CFO
  • Growth is creating cash-flow pressure that needs senior oversight
  • Reporting doesn’t give leadership what it needs to make decisions
  • An investor, board, or lender expects a CFO-level voice at the table

What I bring

Three things that change quickly.

01

Clarity in the numbers

The financials get reconciled, restated where needed, and explained in language leadership can act on.
02

Stable cash flow

Forecasting, working-capital discipline, and the conversations with banks and lenders that keep options open.
03

Reporting that supports decisions

The right cadence, the right metrics, and the right conversations — so leadership stops guessing.

How it works

A flexible engagement, sized to the moment.

[Replace: A short paragraph on typical engagement length, cadence (e.g. weekly on-site, monthly board prep), and how scope adjusts as the business stabilizes. Two to three sentences in Elizabeth’s voice.]

[Replace: A second short paragraph on how the engagement ends — handoff to a permanent CFO, transition to an advisory role, or a defined wind-down once the financial function is healthy.]
