Chief Executive Officer
With a career foundation built at PwC, where he earned his CPA license and developed a strong expertise in audit and compliance, Stephen Rykwalder brings over 15 years of diverse accounting and advisory experience. His background includes external audit at PwC, financial roles within two of the world’s largest banks, internal audit roles at two international, publicly traded companies—one of which is a Fortune 500 company—where he implemented and led a data analytics & robotics department within internal audit. Stephen was offered a conditional appointment to become a Special Agent with the FBI, a testament to his integrity, analytical skills, and professional track record. However, he chose to follow his entrepreneurial spirit and focus on building his own businesses. Over the years, he has launched multiple ventures, invented a proprietary product, and provided hands-on financial management for more than 100 small businesses—covering everything from bookkeeping and payroll to tax preparation and regulatory filings. Today, Stephen specializes in serving small companies from a CFO and bookkeeping perspective, bringing clarity and structure to the complexities of the financial world. His mission is to simplify financial operations so business owners can focus on the reasons they started their businesses to begin with.

Not when you hire us. To hire a full-time CFO, you are looking at a salary range of $150K-$300K, and that is before factoring in benefits and taxes. Some fractional CFO firms can still run a bit pricier, such as $5K-$8K/month. With our pricing, you will not pay this much, allowing you to save money while maximizing your business’s potential. The best part is that in addition to our reasonable pricing, because you are not hiring an employee, you are also saving on the taxes and benefits.
Whether you’re looking for reliable, straightforward bookkeeping or a
virtual CFO to elevate your business, we’re here to provide the right level of support for you.
