Finaro Consulting embeds CFO and controller-level expertise inside growing Small and Medium-sized businesses.
Most growing companies are over-served by expensive advisory firms and under-served by their internal accounting team. Finaro Consulting fills that gap — practical, embedded, and built for your stage.
Let's talk about where your accounting function has gaps — and what it would look like to close them.
Four practice areas designed for the financial realities of companies between $1M and $50M in revenue.
You need a CFO. You don't need a $200,000 salary. Finaro embeds at the strategic level — managing cash flow, owning the banking relationship, presenting to your board or ownership group, and translating your numbers into decisions.
The controller function is where most growing companies break. We step in to own the close, clean up the chart of accounts, implement proper revenue recognition, and produce financials that your CPA, bonding company, and bank can rely on.
Bad systems create bad data. We evaluate, select, and implement accounting and ERP platforms that fit your business — not the largest one a salesperson could sell you. We also clean up the messes left by prior systems or prior bookkeepers.
Most contractors know their top-line revenue but not their job-level margins. We build the costing infrastructure to show you exactly where you're making money — by project, crew, service line, or customer — and where you're not.

Let's Talk →Finaro Consulting was founded by Nathan Powers after spending years inside growing companies — watching the same gaps appear over and over. A bookkeeper who couldn't keep pace. Month-end close that dragged into week three. A bank renewal where the owner couldn't explain their own numbers.
Nathan built the firm he wished existed when he was on the inside. Embedded, practical, and built specifically for companies between $1M and $50M who need real financial leadership — not a consultant who shows up twice a year with a slide deck.
The focus is the construction and home services industry, where project accounting, bonding, and cash flow create a unique set of challenges that generalist firms routinely underestimate.
