Finance leadership, plus the data architecture to make it compound.
Kyro CFO is not a fractional CFO with AI bolted on. It is senior financial leadership and the connective infrastructure that makes reporting, close, forecasting, vendor management, and board communication faster and cleaner than your current stack allows.
What we do
Four ways we work together. They're not separate practice areas that happen to share a website. Each one feeds the others, and the person doing the work has done all of this from inside a company, not from a consulting perch.
AI for Finance
Two engagement paths. Fractional CFO engagements where the AI lens is how the finance function gets built: deterministic-plus-AI architecture for board reporting, close, vendor review, and modeling. Or private AI training for finance teams that already have a CFO but need their controllers, FP&A analysts, and senior accountants trained on finance-safe AI workflows.
For companies where AI is already a board question, and the question is whether finance gets it right or confidently wrong.
How it works→Fractional CFO
Senior financial leadership embedded in your team. Board prep, cash flow management, vendor renegotiation, financial reporting, and the strategic lens your company is running without right now.
For companies in the $5M–$100M range that have outgrown their bookkeeper but aren't ready for a $250K CFO hire.
How it works→M&A advisory
Exit planning, sell-side process management, due diligence preparation, and valuation work. Two completed sell-side exits (2019, 2022). Goldman Sachs Investment Banking background. The experience of having sat across the table from Blackstone.
Starting 18 months before a planned exit is the difference between a good outcome and a great one.
How it works→Business transformation
Finding where money is being wasted, which processes are eating margins, and what technology decisions make sense vs. which ones are expensive distractions. This comes from the CFO seat, not a PowerPoint.
Turned EBITDA from -25% to positive at a 300-person company. Not by cutting everything, but by cutting the right things.
How it works→Who this is for
Companies in the $5M–$100M range running their finance ops across 12 to 15 vendors with no clean number coming out the other side. They need senior financial leadership and the connective infrastructure that makes the existing stack actually work, not a fractional CFO who logs into the same 12 dashboards their controller already logs into.
You've outgrown your bookkeeper.
Your accountant handles the books. But nobody is watching cash flow, building a real financial model, prepping board materials, or telling you when a vendor contract is quietly costing you more than it should.
You're approaching an inflection point.
Raising a round, preparing for a sale, evaluating an acquisition, or restructuring operations. These moments require someone who has done it before, not someone learning on your deal.
The board is starting to ask harder questions.
Investors and board members who have seen dozens of companies know when financial leadership is missing. They ask about unit economics, cash runway, and exit timing. You need a CFO who has been on the other side of those conversations.
You suspect money is being left on the table.
$7–10M in annual P&L impact came from identifying five operational levers at a 300-person company that nobody had quantified before. The waste is usually there. It just takes the right lens to find it.
Why Kyro
The track record
Goldman Sachs Investment Banking Division. Berkshire Partners (Stockbridge fund, $30M to $1.4B AUM). Wharton MBA. CFO then CEO of Fullstack Academy through revenue growth from $10M to $40M, a profitability turnaround, and two sell-side exits.
That's not a resume highlight. It's what allows this work to happen faster and with more confidence than hiring a CFO candidate who hasn't been through it.
The scope
Most CFOs own finance. At Fullstack, IT and Engineering reported directly for 3+ years. Legal, Real Estate, and Academic operations were part of the CFO scope. That cross-functional experience matters when the real problems are never purely financial.
A collections process change recovered $2M annually at a 100:1 ROI. A marketing attribution project found $1M in ad spend returning 2–3 customers per year. The CFO's job is to find those, not just report on them after the fact.
The architecture
Most fractional CFOs work above your existing stack. Kyro CFO works above your existing stack and rebuilds the connective layer underneath it: warehouse, workflows, evidence, and AI-assisted reporting on a single backbone the same firm has shipped across multiple production environments. The CFO seat is the architect's seat. The architecture is part of the engagement.

Connected practice
The same backbone runs Kyro Strategies' platforms and your finance ops layer.
The CFO practice and the platform practice are one firm with one infrastructure spine. The fractional CFO engagement runs on the same warehouse, workflows, and AI orchestration that powers Kyro Strategies' production platforms. When the CFO work surfaces a workflow that needs a purpose-built tool (capacity planning, regulatory intel, customer feedback, inventory), the platform practice builds it. Same backbone, different surface.
Example: our Revenue Analytics Platform covers exactly what a CFO needs to see: acquisition funnels, retention cohorts, churn drivers, and unit economics down to CAC by source, LTV:CAC ratios, and cohort payback periods. 17 pages of analysis built from CRM data.
