Our Origin Story:
At A6, we understand what it feels like to be a high-performing, overworked CFO because we have been there.
As former C-suite executives, we often wished we could clone our skills. The days were long, responsibilities stretched thin, and no one internally had the skills or capacity to ease the burden. Hiring help for admin tasks was easy. Finding someone to share the strategic weight of the CFO role? Nearly impossible.
We saw the gap: CFOs needed real, experienced help. Not consultants who add more to the to-do list, but true partners ready to roll up their sleeves and work alongside them. CFOs needed real, experienced help so they could operate at a higher level, grow their organizations, and reclaim a healthier work-life balance. That's why we founded A6. We are CFOs who support other CFOs, providing expert-level assistance where you need it most. Whether it’s financial optimization, monthly processes, or space to lead more effectively, we’re here to stand beside you.
Today, we work with business owners across the spectrum: those seeking financial clarity and those who know their numbers intimately but no longer want to manage every detail. Our clients are diverse, but they all want to lead better, not just work harder.
Are you ready to delegate without losing control? Let’s talk.
