Senior financial leadership for scaling businesses. We turn growth into a managed process.
Adrian Loring Advisors puts a fractional CFO on your team — the planning, forecasting, and analytics your growth stage demands, at a fixed monthly fee, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Tough to plan growth; impossible to scale profitably without planning.
Growth exposes every gap in an organization’s strategy. We find them and help you close them — starting with the baseline work of the CFO: recruiting, managing, and leading the finance and accounting team, and building the operational fundamentals on which planning and analysis stand.
We bring methods, tools and skills staged to fit your circumstances — with a continual-improvement mindset and a bias for best practices, not a one-size template.
Planning & Forecasting — Operating plans, rolling forecasts, and scenario models that stay current with conditions on the ground.
Analytics & Reporting — Management reporting tuned to how you run the business. KPIs that matter, margin analytics, a monthly package the team can act on.
Finance Operations & Controls — Optimized workflows. A client-focused quote-to-cash process. Streamlined working capital cycle. Sound internal controls.
Board & Investor Readiness — Board packages that hold up under questioning, support and enhance investor relations, and capital raise efforts.
Back office overwhelmed?
ALA can provide turnkey support, augment or train your team to cover the accounting and finance “back office” functions.A subscription, not a project.
For a fixed monthly fee, we put senior-level expertise on your team — giving you experience with how the CFO role adds value before you hire full-time for it. Six-month minimum engagement. No hourly meter, no scope creep, no surprise invoices.
Step One, Conversation — Tell us your growth plans. On our nickel; it’s on us to explain where we add value.
Step Two, Readiness — We assess where you stand relative to growth-stage peers and agree on priorities.
Step Three, At the table — Your CFO joins the team: advisory and execution, managing, mentoring, and building as your priorities require.
Modern tools. Professional judgment.
We use advanced analytical tools, including AI assistants, to deliver deeper analysis, faster. Every deliverable reflects ALA’s professional judgment, and no client personal information ever enters an AI workflow.
Planning & finance runs on systems.
Scaling an organization almost always means scaling the systems supporting it. Our CFO engagements carry CIO-level technology judgment and experience inside the same subscription.
We have sat in your investors’ chairs — and yours.
We bring senior management experience from the kind of company you are running. We have raised capital for firms like yours, managed startups and turnarounds, and built the processes, policies, and systems that are the foundation for scaling operations.
Engagements from six-month turnarounds to fifteen-year leadership roles. Capital raised across the full structure, senior debt to “G” round equity. Industries from SaaS and manufacturing to third-party logistics and professional services.
