FRACTIONAL CFO FOR STARTUPS
Financial clarity for founders who’d rather build than budget.
Fractional CFO support for pre-seed to Series A teams — fundraise models, monthly close, and board decks, without a full-time hire.
No pitch deck required — just tell me where you are.

“I built Everline because founders shouldn’t have to choose between clean books and building the thing.”
Renata Cole spent 12 years building financial infrastructure for early-stage startups before going fractional. She’s led fundraise diligence, closed the books, and sat in board meetings for companies from first check to Series A — and built Everline Advisory to bring that same clarity to founders who need CFO-level rigor without a CFO-level hire.

You’re three weeks from a raise and your model doesn’t hold up.
FUNDRAISE-READY FINANCIALS
Clean, defensible models and a data room that holds up under investor scrutiny — built the way your next round's diligence will expect.
It’s the 8th and you still don’t know last month’s numbers.
MONTHLY CLOSE & REPORTING
Clean books, delivered on time, every month, with reporting you can actually read — so you always know where you stand.
Your board meeting is Thursday and the deck doesn’t exist.
BOARD DECK PREP
The numbers story your board actually wants to see, framed around the decisions in front of you, not just the spreadsheet.

20-Minute Intro Call
Book a timeQuestions founders ask
I already have a bookkeeper — do I still need this?
Usually, yes to both. A bookkeeper keeps the books accurate day to day; I turn those books into the financial story investors and boards actually need. Most clients keep their bookkeeper and bring me in for modeling, reporting, and board-level thinking.
How much of my time does this actually take?
About an hour a month once we’re set up — a short async check-in, plus whatever comes up around a raise or a board meeting. The goal is less time on financials, not more.
What does it cost?
A flat monthly fee, typically $2,000–$4,500 depending on stage and scope — no hourly billing. We agree on the number before any work starts.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Month-to-month, no long-term contract — 30 days’ notice and we’re square.
How fast can we start?
Most engagements onboard within a week of the intro call, with your first clean close inside 30 days.
