Full-Service Office of the CFO Capabilities

The Office of the CFO isn’t just one person—it’s a team of professionals working together to drive financial clarity, improve processes, enable growth, and support high-level decision-making. From the CFO managing Board of Director relationships and steering the Audit Committee, to controllers, FP&A experts, and treasurers handling day-to-day operations and strategy execution, every role within this function plays a pivotal part in shaping outcomes.

CXO Partners invests deeply in supporting the entire ecosystem of the CFO’s office. Whether you’re navigating fundraising, executing M&A, optimizing cash flow, or preparing for Board-level reporting, our team of senior finance leaders delivers customized, results-driven expertise at every level. Together, we help finance become a true enabler of organizational success.

Specialized Support for Every Key Role

The Office of the CFO spans strategic leadership and operational precision. CXO Partners provides the expertise necessary to empower every function within this essential team:

Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

As the top financial executive, the CFO oversees enterprise strategy, shapes capital allocation priorities, and serves as the key liaison for stakeholders like investors, lenders, and the Audit Committee. CXO Partners helps fractional and permanent CFOs refine their focus on Board reporting, compliance oversight, risk management, governance, and value creation strategy—all while aligning financial vision with corporate goals.

VP of Fianance

The VP of Finance bridges strategy and execution, supporting the CFO with actionable insights, financial modeling, and cross-departmental collaboration. We help VPs of Finance streamline forecasting and strategic decision-making to ensure they remain effective partners to the executive leadership team.

Corporate Treasurer

Treasurers play a critical role in managing liquidity, optimizing the company’s capital structure, overseeing risk mitigation, and ensuring timely funding. Our experts assist treasurers in crafting cash management strategies, designing debt and equity plans, and building contingency preparedness to protect the organization’s financial health in uncertain times.

Controller

Controllers act as stewards of the organization’s accounting function—ensuring accurate financial reporting, compliance with regulations, and proper internal controls. CXO Partners supports controllers in building efficient, tech-enabled workflows to deliver audit-ready financials and actionable data for senior leadership.

Accounting Managers

From handling day-to-day bookkeeping to addressing regulatory deadlines and creating financial reports, accounting managers play a crucial role in maintaining financial hygiene. CXO Partners helps accounting managers streamline processes, reduce inefficiencies, implement accounting technology, and maintain compliance at all levels.

FP&A Professionals (Financial Planning and Analysis Team)

FP&A teams are essential partners in forecasting, scenario planning, and delivering insights that drive strategic initiatives. CXO Partners equips FP&A professionals with tools, methodologies, and hands-on support to turn data into actionable recommendations, fueling confident decision-making across the organization.

Board-Level Accountability and Governance

For CFOs, Board-level responsibilities are increasingly critical in today’s environment. CXO Partners ensures CFOs are fully equipped to address the demands of key assignments, such as the Audit Committee, to deliver clear and comprehensive reporting, and maintain proper governance.
