ERIC VINCENT, FORT MYERS

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything a CFO and COO would do. Plus the doing.
Margin by product or service
What is profitable and what only looks busy. The same read that repriced Jonas' Vegan Kitchen and produced its two best months on record.
Labor as a percent of revenue
Whether your staffing cost makes sense against what comes in, and the hire you may not need. The discipline that took a manufacturer from $2M to $18M in four years.
Pricing and cash, months ahead
Your prices tested against your margins, and your cash mapped forward so payroll and the slow season stop surprising you.
A monthly rhythm you can read
Close, forecast, and the handful of numbers that matter, on one page, every month. Decisions get made on it instead of on a feeling.
The doing, not just the deck
When a number is broken because a system is broken, I build the fix: the AI phone agent, the lead automation, the form that was sending BAC Builders' leads to someone else's inbox.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Who this is for, and who it is not for.
Good fit
- Owner-led businesses, roughly $1M–$50M in revenue
- Service and retail operators
- Want systems that run without them, not more slideware
- Ready to make a decision and let it ship
Bad fit
- Want a large agency team and a weekly status call
- Need staffing by the hour, not systems that end the need
- Want advice with no intention of changing anything
- Need enterprise procurement and RFP cycles
PROOF
What the numbers say, and what clients say.
$5.1M/yr Structural efficiency
Management restructuring saved $5.1M annually; a scheduling redesign added 1.5M selling hours in 18 months while cutting selling cost 300 basis points.
+37% August revenue, year over year
Jonas' Vegan Kitchen: July and August 2026 were the two best revenue months in the store's history. Numbers cited with the owner's approval, 2026-09-14.
$2M → $18M COO run, four years
COO of an electronics manufacturer through $2M to $18M in four years.
“I was headed for bankruptcy, pricing everything by feel. Eric started with my numbers, not my website, repriced what was losing money, plugged the orders leaking under my minimum, then rebuilt the store. July and August were the two best months in my business’s history.”
“My contact form had been sending every lead to some other company’s inbox, I had no idea. Eric found it, fixed it, and a week later I got my first real lead off the site. He tells me what’s broken instead of letting me find out the hard way.”
“First full month of ads: 13 real inquiries, screened for bots. About 15 groups ready to book, including a 400-person group that sails annually, a six-figure relationship that came in through my website.”
“There’s no fake pricing on my new site. I hadn’t given him real numbers yet, so he left it off instead of guessing. He caught a dead-end bug before it ever cost me a lead, on a site that hasn’t even launched.”
“Eric guided our website project with a clear and structured process, asking the right questions and distilling complex needs into a clean, intuitive design. He organized all our key information in one place, making it simple for guests to find what they need, and that clarity has directly supported new business.”
“He is extremely knowledgeable and technology-savvy, but what impressed me most was his ability to make the entire process feel simple and effortless for us. He was always on point, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting it right. I highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for someone who combines technical expertise, professionalism, and a real understanding of the customer experience.”

FAQ
Questions owners ask before they call.
What does it cost?
A $7,500 fixed-fee diagnostic to start. From there, $5,000 to $10,000 a month, or a 90-day fix from $30,000, or interim COO from $15,000 a month.
What does a fractional CFO do for a small business?
Builds and owns the financial model the business runs on: forecasting, margin discipline, cash planning, part-time instead of a full-time salary.
What is a fractional COO and do I need one?
Part-time senior operating leadership: the systems, org chart, and throughput work a full-time COO would own, sized to what the business needs.
Fractional CFO vs. outsourced CFO, what's the difference?
"Outsourced CFO" usually means bookkeeping-heavy work: closing the books, AP/AR. "Fractional CFO" means strategy-heavy work: forecasting, pricing, fundraising readiness. This is the fractional kind.
How much does a fractional COO cost?
Published market rates run $3,000 to $15,000 a month. Mine are published above, plus a $7,500 diagnostic that credits into any engagement.
