CFO Advisory
Strategic Financial Leadership Tailored to Growth-Driven Businesses
For business owners who are ready to move from financial firefighting to long-term growth, the CFO Advisory service from Sound Accounting Solutions offers strategic financial oversight, insight, and accountability. This ongoing partnership is designed to give job-cost-based businesses a clear roadmap to improve cash flow, increase profitability, and build a financial foundation that supports sustainable success.
What Is CFO Advisory?
CFO Advisory is more than a consulting service. It’s an integrated strategic relationship built to support business owners in leadership roles who need expert financial guidance without hiring a full-time CFO. Melanie Hurt works side-by-side with her clients to create clarity, reduce decision-making stress, and provide trusted insight that turns numbers into strategic direction.
Her specialty? Businesses in construction, service contracting, and project-based industries where job costing, cash flow, and margin visibility make or break profitability.

Melanie’s CFO Advisory service is powered by a proven 5-step framework:

Profit & Cash Flow Targeting
Together, you’ll define what financial success looks like for your business and build realistic goals and a tailored plan to achieve them.
Scoreboard Creation
Each month, you’ll receive a one-page report that clearly outlines key metrics, showing you what’s going well and where to focus attention.
Action Planning
