Who We Serve
Fractional CFO Services Built For High-Stakes Transitions
Sentinel CXO provides outsourced CFO and COO leadership for growth-stage and mid-market companies navigating the moments where the finance function matters most. Whether you’re preparing to go public, closing an acquisition, or executing a PE-backed turnaround, you need a fractional CFO who has done this before — not one learning on your dime.
Fractional CFO for Small-Cap Public Companies (NASDAQ / NYSE / OTC)
Public company finance is its own discipline. SEC reporting deadlines, SOX compliance, board audit committees, and Big 4 auditor relationships require a CFO who has lived this — not one reading about it. We have filed Form 10s, managed 10-K and 10-Q cycles, and sat across from PCAOB auditors. We know what the SEC expects.
Outsourced CFO for Companies Going Public (Pre-IPO)
Pre-IPO finance is a sprint with a hard deadline. SOX readiness, audit committee formation, internal controls documentation, and SEC registration all need to happen simultaneously — 12 to 18 months before your listing date. Our fractional CFO services are designed to build this infrastructure fast, without the cost of a permanent hire.
Fractional CFO for PE-Backed Turnarounds and Exits
Private equity sponsors expect financial discipline, clean reporting, and a CFO who can execute a sale process while managing the day-to-day. We've managed PE exits, navigated liquidity constraints, and delivered the audit-ready financials buyers need to close.
Our Services
Four Ways We Engage
Each engagement is scoped to your exact stage — retainer, project, or interim — with no long-term overhead.
Fractional CFO Services
Strategic financial leadership on a part-time or retainer basis. FP&A, cash flow management, board reporting, and banking relationships — without the full-time CFO overhead.
Fractional COO Services
Operational transformation for companies in transition. Process redesign, ERP implementation, close cycle reduction, and cross-functional team leadership.
M&A Advisory & Transaction Support
Buy-side, sell-side, and reverse merger advisory from a CFO who has led 10+ transactions. Due diligence, integration, purchase accounting, and exit preparation.
Public Company & SEC Compliance
Form 10, 10-K, SOX compliance, and Big 4 auditor transition. Fractional CFO services for NASDAQ, NYSE, and OTC companies — and for companies preparing to go public.
