Build a more profitable, predictable business — with a CFO in your corner.
Blackridge CFO Advisory gives $1M–$50M manufacturers, distributors, and trade-services companies senior financial leadership — so you always know where your cash is, what your margins really are, and exactly what to do next.
Outcomes you can feel in the bank account.
You don’t need more reports. You need to know what they mean and what to do about them. We turn financial complexity into three things every owner wants.
Cash you can see coming
Know what’s coming in, what’s going out, and what’s safe to spend — weeks and months ahead, instead of finding out after payroll is due.
Margins that hold as you grow
Discover which products, jobs, and customers actually make money — then protect and expand those margins instead of chasing revenue that never reaches the bottom line.
Decisions backed by numbers
Replace gut-feel and guesswork with a clear financial picture, so big calls on hiring, equipment, pricing, and financing feel like strategy — not a gamble.
What exactly is a fractional CFO?
Your bookkeeper and accountant tell you what already happened. A CFO is focused on what happens next — and how to make it better. A fractional CFO gives you that senior financial leadership part-time, for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
- Forward-looking forecasting, not just historical reports
- A clear plan for cash, profit, and growth
- Executive-level guidance on your biggest decisions
- A financial partner who answers the phone
We sell outcomes — not deliverables.
The forecasts, dashboards, and models are tools. What you actually buy is a stronger, calmer, more valuable business. Here’s where we move the needle.
Stronger, protected margins
Know exactly where you make money and where you lose it — then fix pricing, mix, and cost structure to keep more of every dollar.
Cash flow confidence
A clear view of liquidity and working capital so you can fund growth, cover payroll, and stop letting cash dictate your decisions.
A plan for what's next
Forward forecasts and scenario planning so you see opportunities and risks early — and walk into every quarter with a number you believe in.
Financing & lender readiness
Be ready before you need a loan, line of credit, or SBA financing — with the clean numbers and the story that win better terms.
Growth without the chaos
Build the financial structure, reporting rhythm, and controls that let you scale revenue without losing your grip on the business.
Built to sell — on your terms
Whether you sell in two years or twenty, we build a business that’s worth more and ready when the right moment comes.
Senior financial leadership, built for owners who've outgrown their setup.
Blackridge CFO Advisory was founded by Nick Giacobe after more than 20 years working alongside privately held and private-equity-backed businesses. We exist for one kind of company: the small to lower-middle-market operator whose financial infrastructure hasn’t kept up with the business.
We focus exclusively on manufacturing, distribution, and trade-services companies — because the financial realities of inventory, jobs, equipment, and margins aren’t theoretical to us. They’re the work.

One straightforward conversation. We’ll learn about your business and tell you honestly whether a fractional CFO is the right next move — and if we’re the right fit.
