Engagement & Partnership Details
How are engagements structured?
Our work is structured as a monthly retainer aligned with the level of financial infrastructure and leadership your business requires. Engagements range from foundational financial operations to fully integrated fractional CFO partnership. We determine the appropriate tier during your Strategic Fit Call.
What level of revenue is the best fit?
We are best suited for founder-led service businesses generating $1M–$10M annually. At this stage, businesses typically benefit from structured financial reporting, workflow modernization, and strategic financial leadership without the cost of a full-time CFO.
What if my books need cleanup before we start?
If your financial records require correction or restructuring, we begin with a scoped stabilization phase to bring your systems current and reliable. Clean infrastructure is essential before layering in reporting and advisory work.
Do you replace my CPA or tax preparer?
No. We work alongside your CPA or EA to ensure your financial reporting, tax planning, and compliance remain aligned. Our role focuses on operational clarity, forecasting, and decision-ready financial leadership throughout the year.
What’s included in monthly reporting?
Depending on your engagement level, monthly reporting may include:
• Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow
• Budget vs. actual analysis
• KPI framework
• Cash flow oversight
• Financial interpretation and executive insights
Reports are delivered on a structured cadence and reviewed collaboratively.
How involved do I need to be?
We operate on a structured cadence to minimize disruption while maintaining clarity. Founders typically participate in a scheduled monthly review and remain available for strategic discussion as needed. Our goal is to create clarity without creating noise.
How do we begin?
Start by requesting a Strategic Fit Call. During this conversation, we assess alignment, review your current financial structure, and determine whether NorthPoint Ledger is the right long-term partner for your next stage of growth.
