Cash Flow Clarity: The Fractional CFO Playbook for Founders

Most founders don’t need more spreadsheets — they need someone to translate the numbers into clear decisions.

In this episode, I sit down with Kyle Soutar, CPA, CMA, founder of Soutar Capital & Consulting, a boutique fractional CFO firm that helps founders get financial clarity, stronger cash flow, and a real strategy for growth and exits without hiring a full-time CFO.

We get into what actually changes when a founder finally understands their numbers, and how Kyle helps businesses move from “I hope this works” to confident, data-backed decisions.

In this conversation, we cover:

-The difference between a traditional accountant and a fractional CFO
-The key financial levers every founder must understand (but most ignore)
-Common cash flow mistakes that quietly choke growth
-How to get your business “investor or buyer ready”
-Practical steps to go from financial stress to financial strategy

If you’re a founder, creator, or small business owner who feels like you’re guessing your way through the numbers, this episode will give you a clearer playbook.
