We are well-connected, time-tested CFOs with deep knowledge in financial and operational matters of all kinds.

We’re dedicated to handling each project with the utmost integrity.
The unmatched expertise of the partners at FLG is built on a foundation of hard work and many years of experience. The partners of the firm are admitted only after a rigorous selection and background check process, which requires unanimous partner approval.

We believe this deep skill set profile cannot be found in any other consultancy, setting our CFO consulting firm in a league of its own.

Clients can engage with FLG Partners in a variety of ways to best fit their needs.
- Part-time: Smaller companies rarely need a full-time, true CFO, yet they do need access to the expertise. FLG Partners can provide the efficient, expert leadership you require, and scale our effort to match your needs as they change.
- Interim: If you’ve lost or fired your CFO, FLG Partners will step in with an interim CFO until you hire a permanent replacement. Your search can be conducted deliberately, thoroughly, and without haste, knowing your company is protected by a highly experienced financial veteran.
- Permanent: A number of the partners of FLG Partners are the full-time, employed officers of their companies. They remain an active partner in the firm, and can thus bring the full experience base of FLG Partners to bear to the benefit of their companies. This is an exceptional advantage to public companies in the Sarbanes-Oxley environment where CFOs must execute with precision, experience and confidence.
- Project-based: If your company is facing a transaction or financing for which you believe your incumbent financial staff is under-experienced, FLG Partners will lead them through the process to a successful, efficient conclusion.
- Advisory: FLG Partners often advises CEOs, CFOs, boards, audit committees, investors and lenders on a variety of matters, including complex accounting issues, financing and operating strategies, due diligence, and restructurings.

FLG Partners is known not only for our experience and commitment to excellence in financial and operational matters, but also for our deep dedication to the Bay Area community. We offer our knowledge and time on a pro-bono basis to local institutions in an effort to help every group reach its full potential.
Our partners serve or have served on the boards of the following organizations, in many cases also holding positions such as Audit Committee Chair, Finance & Investments Committee Chair, Advisory Board Member, and Board Chair.
