Why local matters

A CFO who can be in your office this week.

National fractional firms run template city pages with no one on the ground. Bucephalus is based in Bloomington-Normal and works on site across Central Illinois, with remote support in between.

01

On site when it counts

Month-end, lender meetings, board meetings and audit fieldwork happen in person.

02

Knows the local lenders

Community banks, ag lenders and sureties across the region want local, credible numbers. We build them.

03

Built for your industry

Construction, manufacturing, food, transportation, auto services and agriculture. The companies that run Decatur.

Services

A CFO in the seat. Without the full-time salary.

Every engagement is led by the principal. No junior handoffs, no offshore bookkeeping farm, no slide decks dressed up as strategy.

01 · Ongoing

Fractional CFO

Monthly close you can trust, a weekly cash note, board and lender reporting, budget and forecast, pricing and margin discipline. A seat at your table for a fraction of the cost.

For: owners who have outgrown the bookkeeper and the outside accountant.
02 · Full-time, fixed term

Interim CFO

The CFO left, the controller quit, or the deal will not wait. We step in, stabilize the function, hire the permanent team and hand off a machine that runs.

For: sudden vacancies, transitions and high-stakes quarters.
03 · Rescue

Turnaround & Lender Relations

13-week cash control, vendor and lender negotiation, covenant resets and a credible plan your bank can underwrite.

For: tight cash, covenant pressure, a nervous bank.
04 · Readiness

Audit Readiness

Reconciliations, schedules, controls and a clean PBC package. Walk into fieldwork prepared instead of defensive.

For: first audits, surety demands, lender-required reviews.
05 · Capital

Capital Events

Lines of credit, equipment and CapEx financing, refinancing, acquisitions and the diligence package that gets a yes.

For: growth, expansion, buying or selling.
