Recognized by the founders and operators who have placed their trust in us.
Nancy - Vintage Charm
"We can't speak highly enough about Frak Finance. Their customized CFO services
have transformed the way we manage our retail business. Their team took the time to understand our industry, challenges, and goals, allowing them to provide tailored financial strategies that have significantly improved our profitability. Their insightful analysis of our financial data has given us a competitive edge, and their responsiveness to our needs has made them an integral part of our strategic planning. Working with Tom has been a game-changer for our business."
Mark Oden - BIM Designs
"Frak Finance has worked with BIM Designs, Inc. from June 2022... as a Fractional CFO.
During this time, Tom brought his extensive financial and people management expertise to support rebuilding our finance organization from the ground up while the firm transitioned out of a startup mindset and into a mature organization. Tom would excel in an organization where leaders hold themselves accountable and own true to their commitments, needs are explored and clearly stated, and collaboration is considered paramount."
Dhruv Singh - Aktivate
“I recommend Frak Finance for any early-stage, high-growth company that needs a smart,
reliable team who has done it before and can get things done well and quickly, all with a smile on their face. Tom sees the big picture as a founder/investor himself. He can also understand the details quickly as a prior operator. I personally threw Tom in the deep end to build our financial model prior to our 10MM+ raise with little guidance on the eve of a holiday weekend (it was a pre-emptive opportunity). Tom delivered in the face of this aggressive deadline with a smile on his face.”
Jeff August - August Medical
“What Frak Finance has really done for me is give me time back to spend with my family
and clarity around how my business is really performing. They cleaned up our books, built a proper chart of accounts, and completely changed the conversation with my accountant by providing structured, reliable books. Even when things feel messy on my end, I know the financial foundation is solid — and that’s been huge.”
Adam Elias - WhirlyBall
“I needed a solution that was cost effective but high quality and high caliber.
So that's where Frack comes into mind because... Level of attention and care and transparency. They take care of what your needs are and they tailor it exactly to what your business requires. You're not just hiring Frack, you're hiring an entire team of experts and you're not just getting this one individual on your team, you're getting our entire network."

Frequently Asked Questions
Plain answers to the questions owners actually ask us.
1. When does a business usually need Frak Finance?
Most owners come to us when the business has outgrown basic bookkeeping, but hiring a full-time finance leader does not make sense yet. That usually means cash feels unclear, reporting is late or hard to trust, decisions are getting bigger, or the owner needs stronger financial leadership without adding a full-time executive.
2. What financial issues do owners usually miss before they become expensive?
The biggest problems are usually not obvious at first. Books may be closed, payroll may run, and cash may still be coming in, but margins, tax planning, pricing, debt, or timing issues can quietly build underneath the surface. Frak helps owners spot those issues early enough to actually do something about them.
3. How is Frak different from hiring a bookkeeper, CPA, or another fractional CFO firm?
A CPA and bookkeeper usually help you stay compliant and keep the books organized. Compared to a typical fractional CFO firm, Frak also brings a vetted finance bench, founder-level oversight, and the ability to support the full business lifecycle, from growth & acquisitions to succession and exit planning.
4. Will Frak stay focused on the scope we hire you for?
Yes. The goal is to solve the finance problems you hired us to solve, not create distractions or push into areas that do not belong to us. If a need comes up outside the original scope, we can give you a clear recommendation and help you decide whether it is worth addressing.
5. Can Frak support us if we are not planning to sell the business soon?
Yes. A stronger finance function helps whether you want to grow, stabilize, acquire, sell later, or simply run the company with less stress. Even if an exit is years away, clean financials, better reporting, and clearer decision-making make the business more valuable and easier to operate.
