Frequently asked questions
What does Westover Strategic Advisors specialize in?
Westover Strategic Advisors lists CFO advisory, COO advisory, fractional CFO/COO, capital raising, M&A and exit planning and business strategy. The questions below explain these areas in plain terms — every listed area comes from the provider’s own site or profile.
What is a fractional CFO, and when do you need finance help?
A fractional CFO brings CFO-level expertise — cash flow, forecasting, profitability, capital — part-time, without the full-time cost. The usual trigger: finances have outgrown bookkeeping but not yet justified a hire. Bookkeeping records the past; a CFO-level advisor shapes the decisions ahead.
What does a business broker or valuation advisor do?
They help owners understand what a business is worth, prepare it for sale, find and qualify buyers, and manage the transaction to close — or represent a buyer acquiring. Worth engaging well before a sale: most value-building moves need years, not months.Full explainer →
What is strategic planning, and how is it different from strategy?
Strategy is the choice of where to play and how to win; strategic planning turns that choice into priorities, budgets, and accountable owners. A common failure mode is a plan with no real strategy underneath — a list of goals nobody chose between. Good advisors force the trade-off decisions first, then plan.
What is CFO advisory?
Senior financial guidance — budgeting, cash flow, forecasting, and financial strategy — from an experienced finance executive, typically part-time. It gives smaller companies chief-financial-officer expertise without a full-time hire.
What is COO advisory?
Guidance from an experienced chief operating officer on running day-to-day operations—processes, teams, and execution. It suits owners who are strong on vision or sales but need operational discipline.
What is capital raising?
Securing investment or financing for a business, equity from investors or debt from lenders, including preparing the company and materials to attract funders.
What does a healthcare services focus mean?
It means the provider works with organizations delivering healthcare — clinics, home health, practices — helping with the business side: operations, compliance, staffing, and growth.
What does a fintech focus mean?
The provider works with financial-technology companies — firms building software for payments, lending, or banking — where financial regulation meets startup product development.
What does a concierge medicine focus mean?
The provider specializes in membership-based medical practices, where patients pay a retainer for enhanced access to a physician. Consultants in this niche help doctors launch or grow such practices.
What does an insurance tech focus mean?
Insurance tech (insurtech) is technology built for the insurance industry — digital policies, claims automation, underwriting tools. This focus means the provider works with companies in that space.
What is a fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO is an experienced finance leader who works with a company part-time, bringing CFO-level expertise in cash flow, profitability, forecasting, and capital without the cost of a full-time hire.
What does a fractional CFO do?
A fractional CFO sets up financial reporting and forecasting, improves cash flow and margins, supports fundraising or lending, and gives owners the numbers and guidance to make better decisions.
When does a business need a fractional CFO?
Typically when finances outgrow a bookkeeper but do not yet justify a full-time CFO — for example during growth, fundraising, tighter cash flow, or preparing for a sale.
