Fractional and Outsourced CFO Services in Austin
Senior financial leadership backed by a full accounting team helps Austin companies that have grown past what their current setup can handle.
Bringing in an outsourced CFO in Austin only pays off when the numbers underneath are accurate and on time. TGG Accounting staffs every Austin engagement with a CFO alongside a Controller, an Accounting Manager, and a Staff Accountant, so the strategy and the books come from the same team.

What an Outsourced CFO in Austin Can Do for Your Business
An outsourced CFO in Austin is a senior financial executive who works with your company on an ongoing basis without joining your payroll.
Your CFO builds the forecast leadership plans against, tracks cash months ahead, sets the KPIs the business is measured on, and weighs in whenever a hire, a raise, or an acquisition is on the table. All of it depends on the reporting underneath being solid, which is why TGG takes on the accounting function itself, so no recommendation rests on numbers another team is still trying to close.
The same role goes by several names, so a fractional CFO in Austin, a virtual CFO, a part-time CFO, and an interim CFO all point to one function, separated by the hours committed and whether there is an end date. The work stays consistent, regardless of the title.
Why Austin Companies Choose TGG Over a Solo CFO
The usual fractional arrangement typically only gives you one experienced person for a set block of hours. It works while the books keep pace, and it breaks quietly when they do not, because those hours turn into cleanup instead of strategy.
TGG assigns four people to each client, and they stay for the length of the engagement.
- CFO: Financial strategy, risk management, and the metrics that track performance.
- Controller: Accounting operations, accurate statements with commentary, and the controls and budgets that reduce risk.
- Accounting Manager: Transaction processing and the internal controls that make up The TGG Way™.
- Staff Accountant: Day-to-day accounting that gives everything above it an accurate foundation.
Because the roster stays fixed, nobody spends the first weeks of each quarter relearning your business, and the reporting keeps its shape while the company around it changes.
Who TGG Is Right For in Austin
Our typical Austin client is an owner-led company between $5 million and $50 million in revenue, though funded businesses below that line qualify regularly when growth is moving fast, since operating complexity tells us more than last year’s revenue does. We look for payroll, several revenue streams, reporting obligations to a bank or an investor, and a decision on the table the books cannot answer.
We also point companies elsewhere when the fit is wrong. If the priority is the lowest-cost bookkeeping, if the main need is a tax return, or if you would rather hand over the financials and never discuss them, another provider suits you better. The same holds for forensic work, turnaround situations, and public companies that require audited statements.
Financial Leadership Built for Austin’s Economy
Austin is one of the fastest-growing tech economies in the country, powered by Silicon Hills and a deep startup and venture base. Business formation keeps outpacing the accounting behind it, so a company can look healthy on the year and still run short of cash in a quarter.
It is also a talent-expensive market. Tesla, Samsung, Apple, and Dell, plus a wave of funded startups, have bid up finance and accounting talent, pricing a full-time CFO out of reach for a company doing $10 million in revenue. A fixed-fee engagement is how a growing company gets an outsourced CFO in Austin without competing for that shortlist.
Austin brings its own planning layers too, from equity-heavy pay and runway management to hiring and lease commitments made ahead of revenue, and what a company needs is a rolling cash forecast that looks forward, plus books accurate enough to act on.

- Financial assessment and ROI review: A deep look at your financials, where we typically find 5 to 7 percent in profitability improvements.
- Custom scope and engagement plan: A right-sized engagement and your assigned four-person team, on a fixed fee rather than an hourly meter.
- Onboarding and partnership: Structured onboarding, then monthly reporting and recurring reviews with leadership.
The Experience Behind Our Austin Work
TGG Accounting has spent over a decade building finance departments for entrepreneurial companies, guiding hundreds of clients and supporting over $1 billion in M&A transactions. Founder and CEO Matt Garrett started and sold several businesses of his own before turning that experience into The TGG Way™, the reporting system and operating principles every engagement runs on.
The proof sits in the work rather than in credentials. Companies stay, with client retention above 94 percent, and the reporting holds to a standard lenders, investors, and acquirers can work from directly.
