Fractional CFO for owner-operated businesses in Orange County

Covenant Advisors is a fractional CFO firm based in Irvine, California. We work with owner-operated professional services firms in Orange County and across Southern California with $5M to $50M in revenue, especially MSPs, IT services firms, and digital and advertising agencies.

Who this is for?

You own a services firm in Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Anaheim, or elsewhere in Orange County. Revenue has grown past $5M. The business doesn’t feel as profitable as the top line suggests, and cash is tighter than it should be. Your bookkeeper or accounting firm closes the books. You need someone to turn those numbers into decisions.

What We Do

  • Build a budget and rolling forecast tied to your accounting system
  • Forecast cash by month so payroll, debt payments, and slow months don’t surprise you
  • Find which clients, services, and contracts earn their margin, and reprice the ones that don’t
  • Set up monthly KPI reporting the owner and leadership team use
  • Prepare lender packages and manage banking relationships

Results for owner-operated firms

$8.5M MSP: about $18K in net new monthly recurring revenue
‍
We built a fully loaded cost model across about 120 client accounts. It showed 40 accounts priced below target margin. The firm repriced them, and 3 clients left by design. The result was about $18K in net new monthly recurring revenue, or $216K a year, and gross margin up about 2 points.

‍$5M services company: short-term debt retired about 18 months early
‍
An event-driven services company was paying $950 every business day on short-term debt, about $240K a year or 4.8% of revenue. We built a budget and the company held to it for the year. It retired the debt about 18 months early from operating cash, with no refinancing.
