Why CEL?

Strategic Finance. CPA-Level Execution. Fraction of the Cost.

High-growth companies outsource legal, IT, and marketing to proven partners. Finance should be no exception. CEL offers embedded CFO and CPA leadership—without the burden of a full-time hire.

Immediate ROI

A W-2 CFO can cost $250K–$400K+ per year including bonuses, benefits, and equity. CEL delivers executive-level finance at 30–50% of the cost, with no long-term commitment and no dilution.

We Do the Work

In-house CFOs often delegate. Consultants hand off decks. CEL rolls up its sleeves—leading audits, reworking models, closing books, and rebuilding systems with your team. Led by a licensed CPA, we blend regulatory rigor with operator execution.

Faster Ramp, Lower Risk

Hiring a full-time CFO requires months of onboarding and comes with high opportunity cost if not a match. CEL drops in with industry-tested frameworks, immediately driving outcomes. CEL brings functional leadership without fixed overhead.

Flexible Capacity. Real-Time Support.

With CEL, organizations pay for what they need. We scale up during transactions, system changes, or growth sprints—and down when operations stabilize.

CPA-Level Clarity + Execution

Finance is strategy, compliance, audit readiness, and reporting accuracy. With CPA credentials at the core, CEL ensures your house is built strong and defensible.
