The Question No One Behind You Can Answer
At some point, every owner-operator faces a decision that stops them cold.
Can I hire? Should I expand? What is this business worth?
These aren’t accounting questions. They aren’t tax questions. They’re the questions that determine whether a business grows or stalls, and they require a CFO to answer them well.
Large corporations don’t think twice about this. Every major decision has a CFO behind it. The CEO asks, the CFO answers, and the business moves forward with confidence.
Owner-operators making the same high-stakes decisions have never had that. Their bookkeeper records what already happened. Their accountant handles what’s due. Neither one was built to answer the questions that drive the business forward.
That gap is what Stratovus exists to close.
Financial Leadership Without the Full-Time Overhead
Stratovus is a fractional CFO firm built specifically for owner-operated businesses, from the earliest stages of growth through $10M in revenue. Most fractional CFO firms won’t take a call from a business under a certain revenue threshold. Stratovus has no revenue floor. If the decisions you’re facing are significant, the guidance behind them should be too.
Every client engagement is led directly by Dan Vong. Not a junior associate. Not a rotating advisor. Dan leads the relationship the way a CFO leads the finance function, as the single point of contact who knows your business, holds the full picture, and gives you a clear answer when you need one.
Behind Dan is a personally vetted network of accounting, tax, and legal professionals engaged as the work requires. You interface with Dan. He coordinates everything else. The result is the depth of a complete finance department, delivered through one consistent relationship, at a fraction of what any one of those hires would cost.
What This Looks Like in Practice
Stratovus delivers its model through two tracks depending on what the business needs.
Stratovus CFO provides ongoing financial leadership across accounting oversight, financial planning and strategy, and tax readiness. It’s modular, so clients choose one area or all three based on where their gaps are, and structured across three tiers based on business complexity and the level of support required.
Stratovus Advisory delivers a defined outcome for one specific challenge or strategic goal. Fixed fee, clear timeline, no retainer. These serve business owners who know exactly what they need, whether that’s a financial cleanup, preparation for a capital raise, or getting exit-ready.
Both tracks are built around the same principle: you get a senior financial mind in your corner, not a report dropped in your inbox.
The Decisions That Can’t Wait
Growing a business means making consequential decisions without complete information. The question isn’t whether uncertainty exists. It’s whether you have the right financial leadership to move through it with confidence.
Can you afford to bring on that hire without disrupting cash flow? Is the expansion you’re considering something the numbers actually support? If someone made an offer on your business tomorrow, would you know what it’s worth?
These are the questions Stratovus is built to answer. Not after the fact. Not at tax time. When the decision is in front of you and you need a clear answer.
Who Stratovus Is Built For
Logistics operators managing thin margins and complex vendor relationships.
Ecommerce founders navigating cash flow gaps between inventory and revenue.
Real estate investors who need clarity on deal performance and portfolio growth.
Technology and SaaS companies managing recurring revenue and burn rate.
Construction and trades businesses where every project is its own financial equation.
Consider an ecommerce founder sitting on three months of runway, a growing order volume, and an offer to bring on a full-time operations hire.
The bookkeeper says the bank balance looks fine. The accountant says last year’s taxes were clean.
Neither one can tell her whether the hire makes sense given her 13-week cash position, her seasonal revenue curve, and what happens to her margin if fulfillment costs spike in Q4.
That’s a CFO question. And until now, she’s been answering it alone.
The questions don’t get smaller as your business grows. The guidance behind them should grow with it. That’s what Stratovus is built to deliver.
