Fractional CFO/COO Services for Growth-Stage Companies

A fractional CFO/COO is an experienced C-Level Officer who provides part-time or project-based CFO/COO services to companies that need financial leadership but are not yet ready for a full-time hire. Fractional CFO/COOs typically work with startups, growth-stage companies, and businesses navigating major financial events such as fundraising, mergers, or exit planning.

mieCFO founder Brenda Swiney is a CPA with more than 20 years of financial and operational experience across emerging, growth-stage, and public companies — including time at PricewaterhouseCoopers and leadership roles at companies ranging from newly-funded startups to established multinationals.

Accounting & Financial Reporting

Accurate, timely financial reporting is the foundation of every well-run company. mieCFO manages month-end close, prepares management reports, and builds the reporting systems your board, investors, and leadership team can rely on. Deliverables are audit-ready and structured to support fundraising, compliance, and strategic decision-making.

Financial Planning & Analysis

Financial planning and analysis is an extension of financial reporting, looking at what is happening and understanding how it impacts future behavior. Like reporting, planning and analysis needs to be timely. mieCFO manages financial planning and analysis as an extension of the financial close, building and delivering reporting systems that can be used by management for strategic decision-making and preparing board and investor materials.

Venture Equity & Debt Advisory

Raising capital is one of the most consequential financial activities a startup undertakes. mieCFO supports the entire process — from preparing investor materials and financial projections to reviewing term sheets, managing cap table changes, and structuring debt facilities.

Contract Review & Negotiation

Every vendor agreement, customer contract, and financing document carries financial and business risk. mieCFO reviews and negotiates contracts from both financial and business perspectives, proposing solutions that support the company’s short and long term strategic goals.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Whether your company is acquiring, being acquired, or exploring a merger, mieCFO provides financial leadership throughout the transaction. Services include financial due diligence, financial modeling, and deal support from term sheet negotiation through close.

Governance & Risk Management

As companies scale, governance requirements change and evolving governance and risk management models are essential. mieCFO designs and implements the control frameworks, governance structures, systems, and compliance processes, that are appropriate for the stage of the company’s growth and that satisfy board and investor expectations.

Investor Relations

mieCFO prepares board presentations, investor updates, and earnings narratives that clearly communicate the company’s financial performance and strategic direction. Strong investor relations build confidence and reduce friction at every funding milestone.

Human Capital Financial Planning

People are typically the largest expense on a startup’s income statement. mieCFO works with leadership teams to design compensation structures, including benefit and equity plans, to attract appropriate talent. This process is balanced against impact on the company’s burn rate and financial runway.

Taxation

mieCFO provides financial leadership and coordination across the company’s tax obligations — working alongside external tax advisors to ensure accurate compliance, strategic tax planning, and appropriate documentation. This includes federal and state income tax, sales and use tax, R&D credits, and international tax considerations.
