    We work below your client minimum.

    An accountant works your client's books every business day, at a price an early founder can afford. You keep the relationship and every hour of advisory work.

    Two clients you cannot serve well today.

    The founder who is too early.

    They can't afford your minimum yet. You send them away with advice, and by the time they can afford you, someone else is in the seat.

    The client with slow books.

    You're waiting on a bookkeeper who reports in weeks. Half your hour goes to reconciling what should already be done.

    Two ways to work together.

    Same terms either way.

    Send us a founder who is too early for you.

    They get books they can afford now. You stay their advisor on whatever cadence you choose, with visibility into their numbers.

    You keep the relationship. Tell us your threshold and we flag it when they cross it.

    Put an existing client on Median.

    We run the day-to-day books underneath your work, so your next meeting with them starts from a current P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow.

    We do the books and never touch your advisory work.

    What you get.

    Clients below your minimum

    The founder you would have sent away with advice becomes a client you keep, and we run the books while you stay the advisor.

    A real person on it

    An accountant works the books every business day and signs off on the exceptions before you see them.

    Referrals run both ways

    Median clients grow into needing an advisor, and when the specialty is yours, we point them at you.

    The terms, plain and short.

    No revenue shareNo fees, in either direction.
    No exclusivityYou keep every client relationship.
    Nothing to signYou're in when you send the form.
    Stop anytimeEither of us, no notice needed.
    Free migration and cleanupIncluded when a referred client starts ongoing bookkeeping. We agree covered periods and the timeline before starting.

    Illustrative numbers.

    The reporting is already done when you open it.

    Most of a fractional CFO's month goes to getting the numbers into a state worth analyzing. That part is ours. You show up to finished statements and spend the hour on the decision.

    Monthly financials, closed

    P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, reviewed by a real accountant before they go out.

    Books worked every business day

    We categorize and post new activity every business day, so mid-month numbers are close to current and month-end starts from a ledger that is already worked.

    Upstream feeds, mapped

    Ad spend, cloud and payroll land in the GL at the account level, already coded.

    Cash, burn and runway

    Computed from the posted ledger, ready to drop into your client update.

    A clean, structured ledger

    Your models sit on top of it instead of being rebuilt from a CSV every month.

    Get in the partner list.

    The main reason we ask is the reverse direction. When a Median client needs a CFO, we want to know who to call.

    Optional: tell us more about your practice

    You can share these details now or in a follow-up.

    We flag it when a founder you sent us crosses your line.

    Agree the scope before work starts.

    Migration and historical books
    Migration to Median and cleanup are included when you start ongoing bookkeeping. We agree the periods, required records, and timeline with you. Median becomes the system of record for ongoing work.
    Standalone cleanup
    A separate project is quoted in writing. We confirm the ledger where the work will happen, the periods covered, deliverables, and timing before you commit.
    Setup and completion
    Connecting accounts is setup. Reviewing and correcting historical books takes a separate timeline, depending on the records and questions to resolve.
    Additional services
    Tax filing, multi-entity consolidation, inventory, multi-currency, and recurring operating meetings are separately scoped. See pricing and add-ons.

    Keep the client you cannot take yet.

    Start with one client, a founder who's too early for you or one you already have, and see what the books look like a month in.
