The Real Problem

You're Making Big Decisions Without the Right Data.

Most small business owners rely on gut feel for decisions that should be driven by numbers. That gap gets more expensive the faster you grow.

The Problem

Flying Blind Is a Strategy — Just Not a Good One

  • No real visibility into cash flow — you find out there's a problem when the account is already low
  • Revenue is growing but you're not sure which services or clients are actually profitable
  • Big decisions — hiring, equipment, expansion — made on gut feel instead of a financial model
  • A full-time CFO costs $150K+ per year and doesn't make sense at your current size
  • No one on your team is thinking three quarters ahead about where the money needs to go
The Solution

CFO-Level Clarity at a Fraction of the Cost

  • A rolling cash flow forecast so you always know what's coming 90 days out
  • Profitability breakdowns by product, service, or client — so you know where to focus
  • Scenario modeling to stress-test big decisions before you commit capital
  • Monthly strategy sessions with a CPA who knows your numbers as well as you do
  • Lender and investor-ready reporting when the time comes to raise capital or grow

Our Process

How We Work as Your CFO.

We start by understanding your business deeply — then build the financial infrastructure to run it more intentionally.

01
Diagnose

We review your books, cash flow patterns, margins, and current reporting to understand where visibility gaps exist and what decisions need better data behind them.

02
Build

We build your financial model — cash flow forecast, KPI dashboard, budget — customized to your business model and the decisions you're actually making right now.

03
Advise

We meet monthly (or more often during high-activity periods), walk through your numbers, and give you concrete guidance on priorities, risks, and opportunities.

04
Steer

As your business evolves, your financial model evolves with it. We stay ahead of the curve — adjusting forecasts, flagging issues early, and planning the next stage.

Why We're Different

Why Choose Darshi Kasotia CPA.

A lot of "outsourced CFO" services are bookkeepers with a better job title. We're a licensed CPA firm that brings real financial strategy to every engagement.

CPA-Led Strategy

Every CFO engagement is led by a licensed CPA — not a generalist consultant or a bookkeeper stretched beyond their scope. When a tax-planning opportunity or compliance issue intersects with a strategic decision, we catch it because we do both.

Right-Sized

We scope every engagement to what your business actually needs right now — not the full Fortune 500 CFO playbook. Whether you need monthly strategy sessions or more intensive involvement during a growth phase, we adapt the model to match your stage.

Forward-Looking

Most financial reporting tells you what already happened. We use that data to build a clear picture of what's coming — so you can make proactive decisions instead of reactive ones. You'll stop finding out about problems when it's already too late to act.

Common Questions

Outsourced CFO FAQs.

Questions we hear from business owners who are ready to run their finances more strategically.

Think of them as three distinct financial roles. A bookkeeper records your transactions and keeps your records current. An accountant (or CPA) interprets those records — preparing taxes, ensuring compliance, and producing financial reports. A CFO operates at the strategic level: using financial data to forecast, plan, and drive decisions about where the business is going. An outsourced CFO gives you that third layer without needing a full-time executive on payroll.
Most of our clients are in the $500K–$10M revenue range, but the right trigger isn't a revenue number — it's a complexity threshold. If you're making decisions about hiring, equipment, financing, or expansion without a clear financial model behind them, it's time. We work with businesses at the point where financial strategy starts to have real stakes and the cost of bad decisions compounds quickly.
A full-time CFO in the Houston market typically costs $150,000–$250,000 per year in salary, plus benefits and equity. Our fractional CFO engagements are typically in the range of $1,500–$5,000/month depending on scope and meeting cadence. You get CFO-level thinking applied to your specific needs, without the overhead of a full-time executive hire.
Most clients engage on a monthly basis — we review your financials, discuss the metrics that matter, address any decisions on the table, and update your rolling forecast. Clients with more active initiatives (fundraising, a major expansion, rapid growth) often prefer bi-weekly sessions. We scope each engagement to match your actual rhythm and adjust as your needs change.
Yes. We build the financial projections, forecasts, and supporting analysis that lenders and investors expect to see — and we frame your numbers in a way that makes the story clear. We've helped clients put together SBA loan packages, bank financing requests, and investor presentations. When your books are clean and your financial model is solid, you walk into those conversations from a position of strength.
