What Our Clients Are Saying

Kansas City Realty

Eric and the team have quickly become irreplaceable for our company. When we first sat down they said they truly wanted to become partners and not another vendor. They proved this within the first month of working with them. I can't recommend them enough. They are incredibly responsive, kind, and knowledgeable and have tackled our complex accounting challenges in record time. They provide valuable insights into both our financial history and future planning. They've taken the time to clarify fundamental accounting best practices in a way that’s easy to understand and immediately useful. We especially appreciate their support for local and women-owned businesses. Sentinel Finance Group is a rare find and the kind of long-term partner every small business hopes for.

Owner, Mascot Junction
I'm very glad we invited Eric onto our team. Mascot Junction is a fairly small, but growing, company and we were looking to bring someone on that could help us see over the horizon and develop a set of metrics and systems to monitor our financial health and help ensure greater success of reaching our goals. Eric was definitely the right person for the job. He rolled up his sleeves, learned our business quickly, and was pointing out areas of opportunity (and concerns) at our first meeting. While we were not big enough to justify the cost of a full-time CFO, we were growing fast enough that we needed more sophisticated financial management skills, so the Fractional CFO services offered through Sentinel Finance were a good solution for us.

I've had an excellent experience working with Eric. I've engaged Eric as my fractional controller to bring systems, organization and leadership to my bookkeeping team and he has done just that. He is direct, to the point and gets things done in a timely fashion. He leads our monthly financial meetings and presents all the information in an easy to understand fashion. I would highly recommend.

Eric was our CFO for 10 years. He provided monthly financial reporting to our board and helped our staff accountant with monthly closes. I was very happy with his expertise and leadership and I knew I could always count on him to answer my questions. It was really great to work with him and I highly recommend his company Sentinel Finance Group.

You ask, we answer

This CFO-led assessment provides a clear, actionable view of your business’s financial position.

We’ll review your financial statements, systems, reporting, and performance to uncover risks, identify missed opportunities, and provide clear, actionable recommendations tailored to your business.

This Financial Assessment is designed for founders, CEOs, and business owners who are ready to take control of their numbers and make smarter, more strategic decisions.

You’ll get the most value if you:

  • Run a growing business and suspect your financial visibility isn’t keeping up

  • Feel unsure about cash flow, margins, or overall financial health

  • Have a bookkeeper or accountant but still lack strategic financial guidance

  • Are preparing for a big move—like funding, expansion, a new hire, or a pivot

  • Want to understand the financial implications of your decisions before you make them

  • Suspect inefficiencies, overspending, or pricing issues but need clarity and confirmation

  • Feel like you’ve outgrown QuickBooks reporting and gut instinct

You probably won’t benefit much if any of the following applies:

  • Businesses with fully staffed internal finance teams and a CFO already in place

  • Companies looking for tax filing or bookkeeping services only

  • Owners who aren’t ready to take action or review their financial performance critically

Simply book the first meeting! The first meeting allows us to learn about your business and detail any information we need from you.

This assessment is completely free. There’s no obligation and no requirement to move forward with CFO services.

At Sentinel Finance Group, we believe informed business owners make better decisions.

If it becomes clear we can help, we’ll explain how. If not, you’ll still walk away with useful insights and a stronger understanding of your financial position.

The full assessment is typically completed within 7–10 business days after the first meeting. You’ll then receive a detailed analysis and a 60–90 minute meeting to walk through the findings and next steps.

No problem—we work with many businesses who are in the middle of cleanup or transitions. The assessment can actually help identify gaps in your current bookkeeping or accounting structure and give you a plan to get back on track.
