Serving Austin and Central Texas
Fractional CFO and CMO — Austin, TX
Dallas-Fort Worth based. Austin is right down I-35. Same hands-on approach, no matter which Texas city you call home.
Why Austin Businesses Work with a DFW-Based Firm
We are based in Dallas-Fort Worth, and Austin is a three-hour drive down I-35. That proximity matters. We are not a remote firm working across time zones — we are a Texas firm that serves Texas businesses. When your situation calls for a face-to-face meeting, we are in the car or on a short flight. No scheduling gymnastics, no timezone math.
Austin's tech boom has attracted a wave of national consulting firms charging coastal rates. You do not need to pay San Francisco prices for fractional executive services when there is experienced, senior-level talent right up the highway. We bring the same caliber of financial and marketing leadership at Texas pricing — because we live and operate in Texas.
There is also a shared context that matters. We understand Texas tax structures, Texas labor markets, and the specific dynamics of doing business in this state. Whether you are a SaaS company in the Domain, a trades business expanding from DFW into the Austin market, or a creative agency on South Congress — we understand how your business works and what it takes to scale here.
Chris and Taber have worked with companies across Texas and beyond. The I-35 corridor between DFW and Austin is one of the fastest-growing business corridors in the country, and we are positioned right in the middle of it.
The Austin Business Landscape
Austin has transformed from a college town with a music scene into one of the most dynamic business markets in the country. The tech sector is the headline — major companies have relocated headquarters and engineering offices here, and the startup ecosystem is producing companies that scale fast and need financial infrastructure yesterday.
But the story underneath the tech headlines is just as compelling. Austin's construction and trades sector is booming. The city's rapid population growth means HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, and roofers are scaling faster than they can hire. Many of these businesses are doing $3M to $10M in revenue and running their finances on spreadsheets and gut instinct. They have outgrown their bookkeeper but cannot justify a $250K full-time CFO. That gap is exactly where we operate.
The same is true on the tech side. SaaS companies and digital agencies in Austin often reach a point where the founder is still managing the P&L alongside product development and fundraising. They need someone who can build a real financial model, manage cash flow through a growth phase, and present financials to investors or acquirers with confidence. They do not need a full-time hire — they need a fractional CFO who has done this before.
Austin also has a strong creative economy — agencies, production companies, and CPG brands that are growing quickly but do not have the marketing strategy infrastructure to sustain it. A fractional CMO can build the revenue engine without the overhead of a full-time executive and a bloated marketing department.
