Fractional and Outsourced CFO Services in NYC
Senior financial leadership backed by a full accounting team, for New York City companies that have grown past what their current setup can handle.
Bringing in an outsourced CFO in NYC only pays off when the numbers underneath are accurate and on time. TGG Accounting staffs every New York City engagement with a CFO, plus a controller, an accounting manager, and a staff accountant, so strategy and the books come from the same team.
You get senior guidance and a working accounting function together, for one predictable monthly fee.

What an Outsourced CFO Does for an NYC Business
An outsourced CFO in NYC 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 is sold under several names, so a fractional CFO in NYC, 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.
Why NYC Companies Choose TGG Over a Solo CFO
Buy the usual fractional arrangement, and you get 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 performance metrics.
- 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.
The NYC Businesses We Work With
Our typical New York City 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 that 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.
Built for How NYC Companies Actually Grow
New York City runs one of the most demanding business environments in the world. Boards, banks, and investors here expect a level of reporting most growing companies haven’t built yet, and requests usually land before the finance team is ready.
It is also the most expensive place in the country to hire finance talent. Recruiting a full-time CFO in the city means bidding against banks, funds, and public companies for the same shortlist, which prices the role 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 NYC without that hiring race.
NYC adds its own planning layers, from city taxes that stack on top of state taxes to multi-entity structures and investor reporting on tight timelines, and what a company needs is a rolling cash forecast that looks forward, plus books accurate enough to act on it.

- 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 Track Record Behind Every Engagement
TGG Accounting has spent over a decade building finance departments for entrepreneurial companies, guiding more than 300 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 is in the work, not the credentials. Retention holds above 94 percent, and the reporting meets a standard lenders, investors, and acquirers can work from without a cleanup pass first.
