Sylvia Johnston, Fractional CFO

A Fractional CFO based in the Greater Denver Area serving the world

I'm a one-woman, independent operation; that means less overhead, no middle-man, and the promise that all of my clients get focused attention. Whether it’s bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, forecasting, implementing new apps or strategic guidance, as a Fractional CFO, I scale my time to meet your current business needs. In all cases, I’m there to create efficient, stress-free accounting solutions that will help you manage your business.
‍
I work with startups and small business owners across a range of industries with deep experience in SaaS, e-commerce, advertising and construction. While my clients need varying levels of financial advice and expertise during expansion, my goals are the same for everyone: to provide you with financials that can bear the scrutiny of a bank or investor due diligence, supply your tax preparer with ready-to-go-numbers and supply you with data that will inform better business decisions.
