Business finances can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re growing fast
Work with a CFO Advisor to cut through the confusion, feel less stressed, and take back control of your business.
Are you stuck in the Business Owner’s Trap?
And worst of all, you don’t understand your numbers. Cash always feels tight. You worry your business might not last the month.
You started your business for freedom and flexibility … to make money, and a better life for you and your family

But instead you feel trapped. You’re overworked. You get paid last. You can’t step away without everything falling apart.

But instead you feel trapped. You’re overworked. You get paid last. You can’t step away without everything falling apart.
And worst of all, you don’t understand your numbers. Cash always feels tight. You worry your business might not last the month.
From years of experience working with businesses just like yours, we get it.
The overwhelm is real.
You know you’re in the Business Owner’s Trap when ...
You don’t understand your numbers
Your accountant keeps you compliant, but they don’t help you use your numbers to make real business decisions.
You don’t have a simple system
Without a clear way to see what’s working (and what isn’t), you can’t spot cash leaks, or take advantage of opportunities for growth.
You’re brilliant at what you do, not finance
You love the day-to-day in your business. It’s your passion. But strategy and cash flow feel like a foreign language.
Working with a CFO Advisor changes everything,
turning financial overwhelm into a clear plan you can trust.
What if your finances worked for you, not against you?
At Simple Figures CFO, we work with ambitious business owners. Our proven system helps you:
Turn confusion into clarity with simple, visual reporting. (You don’t have to look at the actual numbers!)
Feel supported and make confident business decisions based on real financial insights.
Create more profit and cash to support your business and your life.
How we work
We use your existing bookkeeping records as the foundation, then apply our proven CFO framework to turn them into clear, practical insights.
Every month we:
- Translate your numbers into simple dashboards you can actually understand.
- Pinpoint what’s working and what isn’t, so you can make confident decisions.
- Agree on focused actions to help you improve profit and cash flow.
- Provide gentle accountability and ongoing support to keep you on track.
No jargon, no fluff, just clarity, confidence, and the steady guidance of a CFO Advisor.
