A CFO without the full-time cost.
Practical financial leadership for small and medium businesses.Senior thinking. Embedded in your team. Focused on the decisions that move the business.
Growing companies reach a point where the numbers matter more than ever, but a full-time CFO is a stretch too far. Visser Advisory gives you that senior financial leadership on the terms your business actually needs — hands-on, commercial, and only as much as the job requires.
Experience that's been there before
Real CFO experience
Hands-on CFO roles in businesses turning over up to ~$80m and across a range of industries — including complex, multi-entity groups and asset portfolios up to ~$120m.
Public-practice depth
CPA-qualified, with public-practice experience and portfolios of 300+ clients — the technical grounding behind the commercial advice.
Turnaround instinct
Cashflow and collections turnarounds, banking and debt restructuring — calm, capable help when the stakes are high.
Senior attention, start to finish
You work directly with Ollie, not a junior.
Senior help, scaled to your business
Four core services. Take one on its own, or combine them into an ongoing engagement.
Fractional CFO
Senior financial leadership on a part-time, ongoing basis: reporting, forecasting, cashflow, banking, and a steady hand for the big decisions.
Business advisory
Help with the moments that matter: strategic and financial reviews, scaling, restructures, M&A and turnarounds. Clear analysis, then execution.
Accounting & management reporting
Month-end reconciliations, budgeting and forecasting, and reporting you can actually act on.
EOS implementation support
Helping your leadership team run on the Entrepreneurial Operating System: a one-page plan, quarterly priorities, a weekly scorecard, and a disciplined meeting rhythm.
Led by Ollie Visser
Ollie is a CPA whose ~14-year career spans public practice and senior CFO roles inside fast-growing, complex businesses. He founded Visser Advisory to bring that same senior financial thinking to companies that need it — without the full-time overhead.
Let's talk about your business.
A straightforward conversation, no obligation — we'll work out whether senior financial help is what you need, and what that could look like.
The financial leadership your business needs — no more, no less
Visser Advisory offers four core services. Each can be delivered on its own, or combined into an ongoing engagement scaled to your needs. However we work together, you get senior attention and practical, commercial advice you can act on.
Fractional CFO
Senior financial leadership on a part-time, ongoing basis — the strategic value of a CFO, at a fraction of the cost. We take ownership of the financial function alongside your team: management reporting and KPIs, budgeting and forecasting, cashflow management, banking and debt, and a steady, experienced voice in the room when the big decisions are made.
When this is the right fit:
You've outgrown your current finance support but can't justify a full-time CFO; your board or lenders want better reporting; or you simply need a senior financial partner in the business on a regular rhythm.
Business advisory
Targeted help with the moments that matter. Strategic and financial reviews, preparing to scale, restructures, M&A support, and turnarounds. We start with clear analysis of where things really stand, then move to practical execution — not a report that sits on a shelf.
When this is the right fit:
You're facing a specific decision or transition — a growth push, a raise or a deal, a restructure, or a period that needs a steady hand — and you want experienced eyes on it.
Accounting & management reporting
The financial foundation done properly: month-end reconciliations, budgeting and forecasting, and reporting built around the decisions you actually make. Numbers that are accurate, timely, and genuinely useful — not just compliant.
When this is the right fit:
You need reliable month-end and reporting you can trust and act on, and a clearer view of budget versus actual and what's coming.
EOS implementation support
We help leadership teams run with more focus and accountability through the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) — a clear one-page plan, quarterly priorities, a simple weekly scorecard, and a disciplined weekly meeting rhythm that keeps everyone aligned.
When this is the right fit:
Your leadership team wants more focus, accountability and momentum, and a practical operating rhythm to run the business by.
Combine them into one engagement
Most clients start with one service and grow the relationship from there. We'll scope exactly what you need and nothing you don't.
Not sure which fits? Book a conversation and we'll work it out together.

Simple, transparent, and built around your business
Good financial help shouldn't come with mystery or surprises. We keep engagements straightforward, so you always know what we're doing, why, and what it costs.
We agree the scope
We start with a conversation to understand your business, your goals and the pressures you're facing, then agree exactly what would help most — and what you don't need.
We confirm it in writing
Everything is set out in a short engagement letter with clear scope and fees, so expectations are shared from day one.
We set a regular rhythm
Whether it's monthly reporting, a quarterly advisory cadence, or a defined project, we work to a predictable rhythm that fits how you run the business.
We report against what matters
You get clear, useful reporting focused on the numbers and decisions that actually matter to you — and a senior partner to talk them through with.
Senior attention throughout
From the first conversation to the ongoing work, you deal directly with Ollie — the person who understands your business is the one doing the work.
