      What Frak Does Differently

      Your Financial Arm.
      Wired Into Your Operations.

      Convert your finance from a passive back-office function into an active driver of decisions. Get the peace of mind that comes from partnering with Frak.

      The Growth CFO
      Mandate

      Plugging holes is a one-time fix. We are growth CFOs, not cost-cutting CFOs. Our focus is taking your business toward profitability and helping it grow, not just cutting costs to no end.

      Not Enterprise, Not Micro,
      SMB-Focused

      Frak fills the gap in the middle market, the $1M to $50M range where business owners face their highest-stakes financial decisions and need the infrastructure and senior talent to back them.

      Principal-Led
      After the close, you work with the principal, not handed off to a junior team. Tom stays with you throughout the engagement.
      Defined Engagement
      Engagements are defined upfront and held to mandate. We deliver the work you hired us for. No pitching additional services.
      Accountability
      We don't arrive with a playbook. We help your team build one to achieve what matters most, then hold them accountable to it.
      Boutique & Tailored
      We learn the business before recommending anything. Every engagement begins with a diagnosis, not a prescribed playbook.

      Work With Us—From Anywhere, Through Anything.
