We bring Big Four sophistication with startup agility.
Why We Exist
Traditional fractional CFO services rely heavily on the expertise and availability of individuals. We built a tech enabled team-based system that provides:
- Multi-disciplinary expertise on demand
- Knowledge continuity
- Costs balanced by ROI. Ensuring cost effective, efficient, reliable, scalable strategic solutions and support that grows with you
I built Ignition so I could work hands on with founders I want to help succeed, using the strengths I'd developed from my Big Four background. By design, Ignition is able to provide the financial infrastructure that ambitious founders and growth-minded leaders need at critical inflection points—without the constraints of traditional CFO models or the risks of navigating complex financial challenges alone.
