HOW FRONTIER HELPS YOUBOOK YOUR FREE CONSULTATION

FrontierCFO helps high-growth companies develop scalable, forward-thinking financial strategies to streamline operational growth.

A Chief Financial Officer is no longer just a financial gatekeeper. We're advisers and strategic partners you can depend upon every step of the way.

QuickFacts connected with Lisa and the FrontierCFO team when our company grew to the size that we needed additional support in our bookkeeping, accounting, and financial strategy. Their team had a very organized onboarding process that broke tasks down clearly and with the proper checks and balances to ensure a smooth transition. Even with a change in accounting software, this was a much smaller undertaking than expected.

Their ability to support requests from our team and answer questions outside of our expertise is met with detail, suggestions, and justification. The structured review process leaves us feeling more confident about our KPIs, and we were able to pull information we hadn't been able to easily capture prior.

We are thrilled with the support we receive from FrontierCFO and highly recommend their services to any company looking for full-service support.

Alexandre Bernier, CFA

FrontierCFO was my core finance team through our Series B and C funding rounds. They did everything over and above what an in-house team could have done for us: implementing and strengthening our internal controls, automating our reporting, and producing the insights I needed to make strategic decisions quickly. Knowing that I can rely on the FrontierCFO team and adapt swiftly during this accelerated growth period eliminated a large portion of stress from my role. Their ability to scale with our needs has saved us time and money, allowing us to focus on value creation priorities and provided us with peace of mind.
