Finance That Scales With Your Company

Adea delivers a CFO-led finance function for high-growth companies preparing for their next milestone. From clean books to board-ready reporting — built for the $5M–$30M stage.

What We Do

The Full Finance Function, CFO-Led

Each service is designed to work independently or as part of a fully integrated finance function. Every engagement is led by a senior U.S.-based CFO.

Service 01

Fractional CFO Services

A senior U.S.-based CFO embedded in your leadership team on a fractional basis. Your CFO attends board meetings, leads investor conversations, and owns the financial strategy for your company. We structure the engagement around your growth stage, your board composition, and the milestones you are working toward. This is not advisory — it is operational CFO leadership delivered at the level that growth-stage companies actually need.

Service 02

Controller Services

Accurate, timely financial close with GAAP-compliant accounting oversight. Our controller function manages the monthly close cycle, ensures accounting accuracy, and maintains the integrity of your general ledger. We build the controls and processes that allow your company to scale without financial risk. Every number your CFO presents to investors is backed by a controller process designed to withstand scrutiny.

Service 03

Accounting & Close Operations

Monthly close cycles built for speed, accuracy, and investor confidence. We manage the full close process — journal entries, reconciliations, accruals, and financial statement preparation — with a focus on reducing close time and increasing reporting quality. Companies that work with Adea consistently reduce their close cycle while improving the accuracy and completeness of their monthly financials.

Service 04

Finance Operations & Reporting

KPI dashboards, investor packages, and management reports designed to answer the questions your board and investors will ask — before they ask them. We build reporting systems that give leadership real-time visibility into performance, cash position, and key metrics. Your board package is built to drive decisions, not just document history. Every report is structured to support the narrative your CFO presents to investors.
