What Our Clients Say
Prior to engaging CFO & CO, our accounting processes were lacking. They took our accounting, which is complex, to another level and helped me sleep better knowing it was rock solid. They found a great bookkeeper and accounting firm for us, implemented necessary accounting policies, made our books audit-ready, designed our KPI dashboard, and created a valuable cash flow projection model. They added so much value to our company and by guiding me, made me a better CEO.
Jamie Rosenberg
CEO
When I left a partnership to start my own company, I took a large multifamily and self-storage portfolio with me. I reached out to Robert to urgently set up an accounting department for me. I needed reporting, budgets, compliance, and the works. He designed a phenomenal financial reporting package that pleased investors, lenders and property management clients. A year later, he helped me negotiate a merger of one of my businesses. He drafted the initial proposal, including post-merger integration plans, and advised me through completion of what became a very successful merger.

At Temple Judea of Coral Gables, we learned the value of outsourcing a CFO when we partnered with Robert Band and CFO & Co. to create an in-house accounting department and transition our books from our accounting outsource company. Robert far exceeds our expectations and delivers everything we need at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO.
Sharon Israel Moskovitz
Executive Director
After consulting with Robert regarding our accounting department’s processes and organization, he helped us think through restructuring key functions, while enhancing controls and productivity. His broad experience and contacts have and continue to provide us with tremendous value, and he genuinely cares about our company’s success. I highly recommend him.
