About A Business Manager
Virtual CFO, Controller & Accounting for Business Owners Who Want Clarity—Single‑Entity or Multi‑Entity
We help business owners turn financial complexity into confident decisions. Whether you run a single entity or a multi‑entity portfolio, our model blends clean books, proactive cash intelligence, lender‑ready reporting, and a repeatable monthly CFO rhythm—so you scale with control and sleep without surprises.
Founded in 2001, A Business Manager is a US‑based fractional CFO and accounting team. Our staff averages 15+ years of experience. We operate a 99% paperless, cloud‑enabled finance function built on modern software, documented controls, and a consistent month‑end cadence.
Who We Serve
We partner with owners navigating complexity, providing senior financial attention where it matters most:
Single‑entity businesses in professional services, trades, healthcare, technology, hospitality, and e‑commerce.
Multi‑entity owners (often 2–3 entities, scalable to 10+) needing consolidations, intercompany automation, and investor/lender‑ready reporting.
Commercial Real Estate (CRE) investors/operators (hotels, retail centers, mixed‑use) requiring property‑level reporting and covenant tracking.
Founders seeking a “family‑office‑lite” approach to cash, tax readiness, and capital planning.
What We Deliver
Our operating system is built to maximize efficiency and audit readiness, and is right‑sized for single‑entity or multi‑entity environments.
