Legacy Results, Inc.

Board-level financial architecture.

Delivered for the owner-operator.

Built for companies too small for a full-time CFO and too complex for a bookkeeper. Twenty-four years of refined operating systems, now AI-augmented and ready to install.

A 60-day diagnostic and implementation plan, followed by a standing quarterly rhythm.

By the time most owners feel cash pressure, they're 60 days past where it was cheap to fix.

The practice.

One layer above fractional CFO. The architect, not the bookkeeper.

Most owner-operators in the $2.5–15M revenue band don't need another bookkeeper, and they can't fully justify a full-time CFO. They need the architect: someone who comes in, builds the financial infrastructure the company actually runs on, and stays available at a quarterly cadence as the business changes.

The work is board-level: cash architecture, succession-readiness, owner-dependency, customer concentration — the structural decisions that determine whether a $2.5–15M private company is sellable on the owner's terms or transferable to insiders when the time comes.

How it works

Infrastructure, not opinions.
A rhythm, not a retainer.

PHASE 01

60-Day Diagnostic & Implementation

A structured engagement that builds the financial infrastructure your company actually runs on — 13-week cash flow model, rolling budget-to-actual, accounting diagnostic. AI-augmented and ready to install in weeks, not months.

PHASE 02

Standing Quarterly Rhythm

Once the infrastructure is in place, a quarterly cadence keeps it current as the business changes. You have a CFO-level lens available without a full-time CFO cost.

THE DIFFERENCE

Capability Transfers to Your Team

Workflows are designed to transfer to your staff — not locked in the advisor's head. The goal is a business that runs without you having to call me every month.

Core deliverables

13-Week Cash Flow Model

Refined across hundreds of engagements. Puts pressure on your dashboard 90 days early, when it's still cheap to fix.

Rolling 12-Month Budget-to-Actual

The framework your controller actually uses. Not a one-time model — a living system your team runs.

Accounting Diagnostic Test Matrix

The first thing I look at in a new engagement. Where errors hide, where the review gaps are, where the bus problem lives.

The arc

Forty-plus years of operator depth.
Now AI-augmented.

Three tools, three jobs. Claude for thinking and writing. ChatGPT for general purpose. Perplexity for research with citations. AI is leverage on top of operator judgment — not a substitute for it.
