Question 1

What does Kewell Consulting do?

Accepted Answer

We provide fractional CFO and financial strategy services to boutique agencies and nonprofits that have grown beyond basic bookkeeping but aren't ready to hire a full-time CFO. We work inside your organization as an embedded financial partner, helping you understand your numbers, anticipate what's ahead, and make decisions with confidence.

Question 2

Who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in two types of organizations: boutique marketing, creative, and digital agencies between $1M and $8M in revenue, and human-services nonprofits with annual budgets in the same range. If you're a founder-led agency or an Executive Director who's tired of making financial decisions in the dark, we were built for you.

Question 3

What makes Kewell Consulting different from a CPA or bookkeeper?

Accepted Answer

A: A bookkeeper records what happened. A CPA helps you stay compliant at tax time. A fractional CFO helps you figure out what to do next. We work at the strategic level: cash flow forecasting, profitability by client or program, financial scenario planning, and the kind of forward-looking insight that shapes hiring, pricing, and growth decisions. We don't replace your bookkeeper or CPA. We complement them.

Question 4

Is this a full-time hire?

Accepted Answer

A: Not at all. Fractional CFO services are designed to be part-time, flexible, and scaled to exactly where your organization is right now. You get senior-level financial leadership without the fixed cost or long-term commitment of a full-time executive hire.

Question 5

Does Kewell Consulting prepare taxes or conduct audits?

Accepted Answer

No, and that's intentional. Tax preparation and audits are the domain of CPAs, and there are excellent CPAs who specialize in exactly that work. Kewell Consulting operates at the strategic and operational finance level: cash flow forecasting, profitability analysis, financial planning, and the decision support that helps you lead your business with confidence. Many of our clients work with a CPA for compliance and with Kewell Consulting for strategy. The two roles complement each other well, and we're happy to work alongside your existing accounting team.
