Senior finance leadership without a full-time hire: budgeting, cash flow, guidance, and the conversations with headquarters that a bookkeeper cannot have.
Many Italian-owned U.S. companies reach a point where bookkeeping is no longer enough but a full-time CFO is not yet justified. The parent wants sharper visibility, real budgeting, and a credible financial counterpart in the U.S. The owner needs someone who can plan cash, interpret the numbers, and speak to headquarters as a peer. A bookkeeper cannot fill that gap, and a full-time hire is an expensive leap to make too early.
This is where Valerio's background matters most. For nearly a decade he was the finance chief inside Italian-owned U.S. companies, so he steps into the role rather than learning it. We build the budget and the cash flow view, provide the financial guidance the business needs, and handle the reporting and the conversations with the parent directly, in Italian where that helps. You get leadership-level finance at the level of involvement the business actually needs, and it scales as you grow.
An Italian-owned U.S. company had outgrown bookkeeping but was not ready for a full-time CFO. Valerio stepped in on a fractional basis, built the budget and cash flow view, and handled the financial conversations with the parent directly, giving leadership-level visibility at a fraction of the cost.
As involved as the business needs. Some clients want a steady monthly cadence; others want me closer during a specific period. We scope it to fit, and adjust as you grow.
Yes, and that is often the point. Valerio communicates with the parent as a financial peer, in Italian where useful, which removes the translation layer between your U.S. numbers and group decisions.
We can. Many fractional-CFO clients have us run, or oversee, the accounting and compliance as well, so the whole U.S. finance function sits with one accountable team led by a licensed CPA.
