Why CFO support
Growth makes the financial decisions harder.
Many successful owners reach a point where bookkeeping and historical reporting are no longer enough. The business has become more complex than the information you're running it on.
- Revenue is growing, but cash still feels tight
- You don't know which customers, services or locations are most profitable
- Financial reporting tells you what happened — not what to do next
- There's no reliable forecast to plan against
- Margins move around and no one can say exactly why
- Major decisions are being made off the bank balance
- You're preparing for financing or investment
- You want to sell one day, but aren't sure the financials are buyer-ready
- The accounting function exists — but no one is translating the numbers into decisions
This is where fractional CFO support becomes valuable — experienced financial leadership, without the cost of a full-time hire.

The Principal
Olamide Kayode
Founder & Principal CFO
Olamide has spent more than 15 years in finance, including senior leadership across large, complex organizations — with responsibility for more than $250 million in business operations across the U.S., Canada and Latin America, leading FP&A, controllership, forecasting, strategic planning and financial transformation.
Kay Advisory Services brings that same level of financial leadership to growing businesses — the kind of CFO thinking usually reserved for much larger companies.
About the Principal →How it works
Three steps to financial clarity.
Understand the business
We start with the business model, financials, goals, challenges and priorities — what you're trying to build and what's getting in the way.
Build financial clarity
We identify what the numbers are actually saying, where the gaps are, and what management needs to see to run the business well.
Turn insight into action
We create a financial roadmap and provide ongoing CFO-level guidance so the big decisions are made on evidence, not the bank balance.
In their words
What clients and colleagues say
“It's hard to find the words to describe the impact Olamide Kayode has had on our business. The feeling is akin to putting on glasses for the first time as a child — a mix of wonder and shock at all the details you never realized you had been missing. I absolutely underestimated the impact she would have on our financial health, and she has been worth her weight in gold. From analyzing our income streams at a granular level, to establishing stricter reporting standards for our bookkeeping and finance team, to forging an ethical path toward significantly higher profit margins, she has provided insight far beyond what we even knew we needed.”
Saviour Achilike
Owner, Visiting Angels
Current CFO advisory client
“I had the opportunity to work with Olamide for several years, both as her mentor and direct leader, across corporate and divisional finance roles. Olamide is a highly organized and strategic finance executive who brings a disciplined, no-nonsense approach to complex business issues. She has a strong ability to distill financial and operational information into clear facts and insights that help guide conversations and support sound decision-making. Just as importantly, she is an effective business partner who works well across an organization and is comfortable providing thoughtful, candid guidance to leadership. I would confidently recommend Olamide to any organization looking for experienced financial leadership and a trusted strategic partner.”
