THE CHALFANT GROUP is the premier Southern California provider of outsourced Chief Financial Officer (CFO) services to companies undergoing rapid and significant change. Based in Los Angeles, our executive team is a group of formerly-seated CFO’s with over 60 years’ combined hands on knowledge of high growth companies and their dynamic founders.  Our business philosophy is simple - we are the business partner to your creativity and an extension of your team; we work next to you, onsite, crafting the future of your company and providing a custom solution to your finance and accounting needs.

THE CHALFANT GROUP was designed with your business in mind. As the Partners of our Firm have actual experience of being in-house CFOs for decades, we know what Finance and Operations teams need at various points on the growth curve and have the ability to seamlessly scale our support in the areas of Accounting, Finance, HR and Operations to fit your company’s needs. 

HOW WE WORK is quite simple – it is how you need us to work. We prefer to be onsite at least 4 hours per week so that we understand everything that is happening in your business and not just communicated in meetings or emails. Experience has shown us that everything from simple a variance analysis through the operating planning and strategy is exponentially improved with a 360 degree understanding of a client’s business. How we work: onsite or offsite; as a Bookkeeper, Accountant, Controller, CFO, COO or HR; with all of your outside CPA firms and Tax Preparation Firms; with your internal teams – filling gaps temporarily and helping you hire and onboard permanent staff; and most importantly to exceed your needs. We are here to allow you to focus on what you do best.

BUSINESS THERAPY is our proprietary onboarding process that we take all clients through no matter how small the project. It allows our clients to step out of the day to day and design the future – and clients walk away with a fresh appreciation of how far they have come and a road map to lead them where they want to go.

BEST PRACTICES is what we bring to your business. Decades of driving the bottom line of small and mid-sized companies has taught us the value of establishing processes that will give you a more transparent business – which will allow your business to grow and excel.
