Fractional CFO and Controller services across 40+ U.S. metros. Senior finance leadership that knows your market's industries, lenders and labor economics.
Local market understanding. National delivery.
Vessel Advisors is a national fractional CFO and Controller firm. Our 85-person team is distributed across the country, with anchor offices in Irvine, Las Vegas, Nashville, and Louisville. We serve growing companies including private-equity-backed companies, M&A engagements, and businesses pursuing institutional capital or public paths.
Most fractional CFO firms either embed a single CFO in one metro or run a generalist marketplace with no industry depth. We do neither. We have teams that include a CFO, controller, and accounting staff who can execute and support clients at the appropriate level and need tailored to the industry your business operates in. The expertise is in the verticals where the business competes: construction contractors and service providers, professional and technical service firms, manufacturing and distribution, ecommerce, real estate and property development.

Vessel Advisors works nationally with team members spread across the country to support our clients. Let's start a conversation.
How We Work
What working with us looks like — regardless of geography.
Start with the Assessment
Many engagements begin with a Financial Discovery Assessment — a structured diagnostic of where your finance function stands and what it needs to support where the business is going. Same rigor whether we're working with a construction contractor in Las Vegas or a professional services firm in Dallas. The team assigned knows your industry.
Or come in with a defined scope
Some engagements arrive with the scope set — an interim CFO during a transition, M&A readiness, PE sponsor onboarding, a turnaround mandate, or specific transaction support. We work to whichever path fits.
Scope to what the business needs
After the Assessment or initial engagement, ongoing work is scoped to match the business — the level of CFO involvement, the controller hours, the accounting support. We work to whichever path fits.
Our Proprietary Diagnostic
The Financial Discovery Assessment shows you what’s working, what’s missing, and the plan to get where the business needs to go.
Every Assessment applies the same structured examination — accounting systems and technology, processes and procedures, team members and team structure, and team-member will-skill — refined across hundreds of engagements in businesses that look like yours.
The output is the Financial Heat Map System: dollarized findings, hidden inefficiencies, and a sequenced plan. It’s presented at the Executive Action Meeting, where your stakeholders review findings and recommendations in non-clinical, non-technical language they can act on.
We’ve walked into hundreds of businesses at the stage yours is in now. We know where to look. We know how to fix what we find.
