Fractional CFO & Controller
Services in Tampa

Tampa Bay is Florida's fastest-growing business corridor — healthcare systems, MacDill-adjacent defense contractors, and a rising fintech scene are driving demand for CFO-level financial oversight. But most $2M–$30M Tampa companies can't justify a $250K full-time hire. Management accounts by the 5th, 13-week cash forecasts, and compliance handled — by a CGMA with 24 years in professional finance.

Why Tampa Businesses Need a Fractional CFO

Healthcare Is Tampa's Economic Engine

Tampa Bay is home to BayCare, AdventHealth, and hundreds of specialty practices. Multi-provider P&L, insurance reimbursement tracking, contractual adjustments, and practice-level profitability require specialized accounting. A fractional CFO builds the reporting infrastructure healthcare operators need to manage margins in a reimbursement-driven industry.

Defense & Government Contracting Compliance

MacDill Air Force Base and US CENTCOM drive a significant defense contractor ecosystem in Tampa. DCAA-compliant accounting, incurred-cost submissions, and contract-type-specific billing (FFP, T&M, cost-plus) demand a finance partner who understands FAR/DFARS requirements — not just standard commercial accounting.

Growing Fintech & Tech Scene

Tampa's fintech corridor is expanding rapidly — companies like ConnectWise, ReliaQuest, and dozens of payments startups. VC-backed growth companies need investor-ready reporting, ASC 606 revenue recognition, and board packs that meet institutional standards. A fractional CFO provides this without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Rapid Growth Outpaces Back-Office Capacity

Tampa companies growing at 30%+ annually consistently find their bookkeeper-level accounting infrastructure can't keep up. When you need cash-flow forecasts, not just bank reconciliations, the gap between bookkeeping and CFO-level finance becomes clear. We close that gap.

Questions Tampa Business Owners Ask

We're a defense contractor — do you understand DCAA compliance?

Yes. We set up DCAA-compliant accounting systems, calculate indirect rates (fringe, overhead, G&A), prepare incurred-cost submissions, and ensure your timekeeping and cost-allocation practices meet FAR/DFARS requirements. We also prepare the financial statements your contracting officers require for contract close-outs.

We're a healthcare practice with 6 providers. Can you track per-provider profitability?

Absolutely. We build provider-level P&L reports that show revenue by payer, contractual adjustments, direct costs, and allocated overhead for each provider. This lets you make data-driven decisions about staffing, payer mix, and practice expansion.

Florida has no income tax — what compliance do we still need to worry about?

Florida's 5.5% C-corp income tax, 6% state sales tax (plus local surtax), tangible personal property tax, and multi-state nexus from e-commerce all require ongoing tracking. We monitor thresholds, prepare working papers, and coordinate with your CPA quarterly.

How quickly can you start?

Most Tampa engagements are fully onboarded within 2 weeks. We connect to your accounting platform on day one and deliver your first management pack by the end of week two.
