Fractional CxO · Los Angeles → Everywhere

The whole company.
One advisor.

Most fractional advisors cover one function. I cover the system — finance, fundraising & term-sheet negotiation, operations, technology, contracts & compliance, pricing, and strategy — because I've built businesses from zero inside Fortune 100 companies, taken companies to the public markets, and founded my own.

What you're actually buying

Four outcomes. Every engagement.

Hover any card — each outcome has teeth.

Value

Every engagement increases what your company is worth.

Flip ↻

Value

  • Pricing architecture that lifts your multiple
  • Investor-grade financials that survive diligence
  • Exit preparation years before the LOI
Worth more. Provably.

Flip ↻

Transparency

You never fly blind again.

Growth

Every system built to carry your growth — not lag behind it.

  • The one promise a single-function fractional can't make
  • Exponential growth needs the whole system
The whole company scales.
Sound familiar?

You're probably living at least three of these.

This is exactly what I was built for.

Not a fractional CFO

A fractional CxO.

Companies between $1M and $50M can't hire four executives — most don't even have a controller yet. They need one senior operator who covers the whole system. Flip each card.

CFO

Financial strategy, investor-grade models, fundraising, term-sheet negotiation, M&A

Flip ↻

CFO

  • Models built in weeks, not months
  • Data rooms investors compliment

COO

Operations, efficiency, infrastructure, scale

Flip ↻

COO

  • 90-day efficiency remaps
  • You, extracted from every bottleneck
  • Controller & accounting oversight

CTO

Technology advisory, AI, digital health, systems

Flip ↻

CTO

  • Stack evaluated like an operator, not a vendor
  • AI readiness scoring
  • Healthcare-grade compliance awareness

Risk & Contracts

Contract & compliance review from the operator's seat

Flip ↻

Risk & Contracts

  • HIPAA & compliance readiness
  • I flag what goes to counsel

Founders I've stood next to.

Equity & Control

Series A founder, cap table exposed by a seed term sheet signed 18 months earlier. Waterfall modeled at five exit scenarios; participating preferred negotiated out.

12 points of ownership recovered. Round closed on her terms.
Operational Scale

$8M company, founder doing three executive jobs at once, reporting 45 days late. Infrastructure rebuilt, dashboards live, controller oversight installed.

Reporting in 5 days. Series-B ready in 90.
Pricing & Margins

B2B SaaS at 52% gross margin in a 75% sector. Three-tier pricing architecture, value-based sales retraining, contract finance restructured.

52% → 71% margin. $2.1M to the bottom line.

"I'm also a founder. I know what you're not saying out loud."

I built Nascence AI while advising companies like yours. Ten hats, incomplete information, runway math at 2am — that experience doesn't come from a textbook. It changes how I advise. Before that: businesses built from zero inside J&J and Brown-Forman, credit systems rebuilt at Nike, reporting automated at HP, companies taken through stock-exchange IPOs.
