About this listen

“Are you a real CFO?”

That’s the question clients are now asking, because not all “fractional CFOs” are created equal.

In this episode, Brett Frevert (Founder of CFO Systems, Inc. and 9-time Inc. 5000 awardee) breaks down:

• Why “bookkeeper to CFO in 90 days” is hurting the industry
• The 4 levels of business conversations and why most pros are stuck at level one
• Why your newsletter is probably repelling high-value clients
• How to land $10K+ clients through old-school strategy, not funnels
• The branding mistake that makes real firms look generic

This is a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to grow a legitimate CFO firm, without burning out or cutting corners.

🧠 Brett also shares how CFO Systems helped a small-town firm turn a $3M loss into a $5M gain and why finance professionals should think more like heart surgeons, not generalists.
