Why clients says about us
Jessica Kim
Co-Founder of Nuvana Wellness
Our startup couldn’t afford a full-time CFO, but we still needed someone to oversee cash flow, forecasts, and budgeting. The fractional CFO service gave us exactly that—high-level expertise tailored to our stage. Jess helped us avoid a major cash crunch and guided us through our Series A planning. She’s now a critical part of our strategic team.
Michael Thompson
Managing Partner at Thompson & Gray Architecture
Hiring a fractional CFO was one of the smartest moves we made. As architects, we’re creative by nature—but we lacked the financial structure to support our growth. Our CFO streamlined our budgeting, introduced job-costing systems, and gave us monthly reports that actually made sense. We’ve seen a 20% increase in profitability in under a year.

A Message from the
Founder
After more than a decade supporting financial operations within publicly traded companies, Fortune 500 organizations, and a private equity-backed startup, I founded IQ GL with a simple belief: business owners deserve better financial visibility.
Many growing businesses make critical decisions without clear insight into project profitability, cash flow, operational performance, or financial trends. IQ GL was created to bridge that gap by delivering operational finance advisory, project financial visibility solutions, and accounting support designed to help businesses improve decision-making and financial performance.
Whether supporting contractors through job cost accounting and cash flow forecasting or helping businesses navigate accounting cleanups and staffing transitions, our mission is to provide the financial clarity business owners need to move forward with confidence.
