For accountants & accounting firms
The fractional CFO partner for clients you cannot fully serve
When a client needs forward looking finance leadership, exit readiness or financing support beyond compliance and the books, refer them to Mercova. You keep the relationship; they gain senior CFO depth.
Why partner
You handle the books. We handle the decisions.
Your clients trust you with compliance, tax and statutory accounts. But many of them keep asking you for help that sits outside your remit.
Requests you cannot bill
Cash flow forecasting, board reporting, pricing, fundraising prep, exit readiness. Real needs that fall outside a compliance engagement and eat into your time.
Keep the client, lose the headache
Instead of declining or stretching beyond your scope, you hand the work to a specialist and stay the trusted advisor at the center of the relationship.
Better outcomes, better retention
Clients who get the strategic support they need stay loyal, grow, and bring you more interesting work as their business matures.
A name you can stand behind
Former institutional finance leaders, plain spoken and grounded, for founder led SMEs and startups. We make you look good, never the opposite.
How it works
Simple, collaborative, no contracts to sign
There is no formal scheme, no quota and no pressure. Just a warm introduction when it fits.
- You spot a client who needs CFO level support, exit prep or financing help.
- You make a warm introduction, or invite us into a three way call.
- We scope the work transparently and keep you informed throughout.
- You stay the trusted advisor; we never touch compliance or tax.
What your clients get
Senior finance depth, without a full time hire
- Fractional CFO support: reporting, FP&A, cash flow and banking relationships.
- Exit readiness reviews and value building before a sale.
- Debt capacity and financing preparation for growth or acquisitions.
- Acquisition analysis when a client wants to buy a business.
- Clear, decision ready numbers your client can actually act on.
The relationship framing
Collaboration first, no fee promises
We do not run a commission scheme or make fee promises. The value is a genuine partnership: your clients are well served, your relationship deepens, and we are glad to refer work back the other way when one of our contacts needs an excellent accountant. If you would like to formalize something later, we can talk; the starting point is simply doing right by the client.
