A CFO's judgement, scaled to your practice.
Fractional CFO services for professional practices and growing organizations.
Our Approach
MW5 Partners is a fractional CFO practice that gives growing organizations the financial leadership of a full-time CFO without the full-time salary. We serve law firms, medical and dental practices, creator-led businesses, small businesses, nonprofits and PE/VC firms, providing cash-flow forecasting, monthly reporting and KPIs, budgeting, profitability analysis, banking and financing support, investor reporting, acquisition modeling, exit readiness and private equity due diligence.
Maurice approaches every business the way an investor would: he starts with the fundamentals, then focuses on what the business can become. Drawing on his experience in private equity, commercial banking and wealth management, he builds the cash-flow forecasts, reporting and budgets owners need to see their numbers clearly, then stays on as a trusted partner to guide decisions on financing, pricing, hiring, acquisitions and exit planning.
Engagements run on a flexible monthly retainer, with project-based options available.
Our process is simple and thoughtful.
We start with your fundamentals, give you clear numbers, and help you decide what’s next. We don’t just fix the numbers; we build the financial foundation your business grows on.
In-person and remote options
Our office is conveniently located in Atlanta, GA. A place to gather, grow, and reconnect.
