Strategic financial leadership, without the full-time cost.
KPM Financial Advisory delivers experienced, executive-level financial
leadership to growing businesses on a flexible, fractional basis —
the strategic insight, rigorous controls, and operational discipline
of a seasoned CFO, aligned with your budget and tailored to your
stage of growth.
The four things growing businesses ask for — and rarely get together.
Flexible
Engagement
Engage by the project, the month, or the quarter. Scale up for an audit, scale back when the storm passes.
Expert
Controller & CFO Knowledge
Decades operating across both seats: tight controls and clean books, paired with strategic finance and board-level storytelling.
Scalable
Grows With You
Right-sized for a five-person startup today and a forty-person org next year. The engagement evolves with the business.
Trusted
True Partner
Confidential, candid, and accountable. Closer to a co-founder than a vendor — your numbers held to the standard you'd hold them to yourself.

About Kevin
Two decades of controllership and CFO leadership — now on demand.
Kevin Murphy founded KPM Financial Advisory after years operating in
both the controller and CFO seats — closing the books on tight
deadlines, standing up audit-ready reporting, and translating
spreadsheets into the narrative an owner or board can actually act
on.
The work spans startups raising their first institutional round,
PE-backed firms tightening up for a transaction, family-owned
businesses planning succession, and independent grocers and
retail-owned co-ops where every basis point of margin matters.
The throughline is the same: bring rigor to the numbers, then turn
the numbers into decisions.
KPM is a deliberate choice to engage with a smaller number of
businesses at depth, rather than a roster of clients at arm's
length.
A 30-minute conversation is usually enough to know if it's a fit.
Tell Kevin what you're trying to solve — closing the month faster,
forecasting cash, prepping for diligence, or just knowing where the
margin is going. He'll come back within one business day with whether
and how KPM can help.
