Fractional FP&A & CFO Advisory

See where the business is going — and plan for it.

Tanko Advisory helps growing businesses build a clearer view of performance and what comes next — through forecasting, management reporting, cash-flow planning, financial modeling and senior decision support, without adding a full-time finance leader.

A focused first conversation about the business, the numbers and the decision ahead.

When finance starts holding growth back

The numbers are there. The visibility is not.

Growing companies often reach a point where historical reporting is no longer enough. Management needs a reliable view of what is changing, what is driving performance and what comes next.

Forecasts are unreliable

The plan changes faster than the forecast, making it difficult to anticipate revenue, margin, cash or capacity over the next 6–12 months.

Reporting is slow or difficult to use

Monthly reporting is manual, fragmented or too focused on historical results to support timely decisions.

Results are visible, but the drivers are not

Management can see the result, but not always the operational drivers behind the variance or the actions that should follow.

Important decisions need a financial view

Hiring, pricing, expansion and investment decisions should be tested against the numbers before resources are committed.

What we do

Forward-looking finance built around the decisions management has to make.

We connect financial results with business drivers so management can plan ahead, understand performance and make better-informed decisions.

01

Forecasting & Budgeting

Rolling forecasts, annual budgets, driver-based planning, long-range outlooks and scenario analysis tied to the way the business actually operates.

02

Management Reporting

Decision-ready monthly reporting, KPI tracking, actual-versus-budget/forecast analysis and concise commentary on what changed and why.

03

Financial Modeling

Integrated financial models, profitability analysis and scenario modeling for hiring, pricing, investment, expansion and other major decisions.

04

Cash Flow & Decision Support

Cash-flow forecasting, liquidity and runway visibility, working-capital analysis and financial support for near-term operating decisions.

05

Fractional CFO Advisory

Ongoing senior finance support for planning, performance reviews and key management decisions — with a financial cadence that grows with the business.

What good FP&A should deliver

A clearer view of performance today — and what is likely to happen next.

Good FP&A creates a repeatable link between operating activity, financial performance and the decisions management needs to make.

Plan with a forward viewBuild a credible outlook for revenue, margin, cash and capacity before commitments are made.
Explain what is driving resultsSeparate the headline variance from the business drivers behind it — and identify what management can influence.
Build a repeatable planning rhythmMove from one-off spreadsheet exercises to a consistent cycle of forecasting, reporting and management review.
Where FP&A fits

Accounting records the past. FP&A connects it to the decisions ahead.

Tanko Advisory works alongside bookkeeping, accounting and tax providers by adding the forecasting, analysis and decision support that sit beyond historical reporting.

Common questions

Straight answers about how the engagement works.

Do you replace our accountant or bookkeeper?

No. Tanko Advisory is focused on FP&A, strategic finance and fractional CFO advisory. We complement accounting by turning historical data into forecasts, analysis and management insight.

Can you work with an existing accounting firm?

Yes. We can work alongside internal finance staff, bookkeepers, CPAs and accounting firms, including referral or white-label arrangements where appropriate.

Is this only for large companies?

No. Fractional FP&A is particularly useful for growing SMEs that need more financial structure but are not ready for a full-time FP&A hire.

Can support be project-based?

Yes. Engagements can be scoped around a specific model, forecasting process, reporting build or recurring monthly FP&A support.
