Chief Financial Officer
Small businesses lack resources for keeping an in-house CFO, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need one. An experienced CFO is an essential cog in the revenue machine, responsible for keeping your financial performance in line with your company objectives and strategies. From reading the numbers right to making sure you don’t fall victim to financial error and fraud, a CFO provides both the insight and oversight needed for growing your business.Our team of seasoned finance and accounting professionals includes multiple Chief Financial Officers ready to lend their experience and expertise when you need it.

Controller
It’s not unusual for small business entrepreneurs to keep their own books. But as your operations grow, taxing accounting tasks follow suit. What you need is a reliable controller to help you with day-to-day account management and cash-flow maintenance. A controller who could also generate financial reports and perform audits, so you don’t have to. It’s good news that Sonoran provides controller services as well. We can get a part of that burden off your shoulders and let you focus on achieving your goals.

Management Consulting
Even the best-performing managers, be they experienced or novice, can’t make every decision alone. Sometimes, they need help managing a huge sales deal, a merger, or an acquisition. There are plenty of complex situations where managers require a fresh perspective - ownership transitions, refinancing, restructuring, liquidity issues, bank workouts, litigation, and bankruptcy are only a few. Our team of seasoned finance and accounting professionals includes multiple Chief Financial Officers ready to lend their experience and expertise when you need it.

Interim Management
Sometimes a brain trust is not enough to solve a business problem. When a hitch becomes a crisis and profits begin to drop, more and more companies choose to employ an interim manager. Trained to thrive under pressure, these professionals have a unique ability to diagnose the problem and turn the situation around in a short time. We call them “company doctors". Whether you need an Interim CEO, CRO, CFO, Receiver, Trustee, or Independent Board Member, there’s always someone at Sonoran that you can call “the doctor.”
