Private equity-backed portfolio companies require more than basic bookkeeping—they need institutional-grade financial leadership that drives EBITDA growth, protects cash, and supports exit readiness.
sebCFO provides fractional CFO, controller, and tax services purpose-built for PE-backed SMBs generating $1M–$25M+ in revenue. Founded by Sebastian Fidilio, CPA (ex-Deutsche Bank investment banking, PwC), we bring Fortune 500-level financial discipline to lower middle-market businesses—at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO ($150k–$250k+ annually vs. $30k–$70k typical client spend).
Our focus is measurable value creation:
• 35%+ average profit lift within 6 months
• <48-hour average response time
• 70+ businesses served since 2021
• Proven tax strategies saving clients $12k–$100k+ annually
For PE sponsors, we help PortCos:
- Improve EBITDA through margin analysis and cost discipline
- Implement 13-week cash flow forecasting and working capital optimization
- Standardize KPI dashboards and board-ready reporting
- Support add-on acquisitions, due diligence, and integration
- Prepare for refinancing, recapitalization, or exit
We operate as a white-glove financial partner—proactive, responsive, and aligned with investor goals. Clean books are the baseline. Strategic financial leadership is the differentiator.
If your PortCo needs stronger financial visibility, tighter cash management, and investor-grade reporting, sebCFO is built for that mandate.
