What Our Clients Say
“SMB Edge’s Fractional CFO service gives me the kind of financial insight I’d expect from a much larger company. As a first-time CEO, their proactive guidance has been invaluable in helping me make strategic decisions with confidence.”
“As a NYC-based company, hiring locally was cost-prohibitive. SMB Edge helped us build a high-performing team in LATAM, providing top-tier talent at a fraction of the cost. It’s been a game-changer for our growth. We have been able to build an outbound marketing function that would not have been possible without SMB Edge"

The Back Office I Wish I had For
My First Acquisition
I’ve been in your seat. During my search, I ran headfirst into the SBA maze—slow timelines, confusing advice, and brokers who cared more about referral fees than results. After I closed, I realized the hard part was just beginning. I didn’t have the financial visibility or the hiring support I needed to build momentum fast. I was trying to learn the business, win over the team, and make strategic decisions—all while scrambling to fill gaps in accounting and talent.
So I built what I wish I had: SMB Edge. A modern back office for acquisition entrepreneurs, offering smarter SBA guidance, fractional CFO support, and help finding world-class talent—local or remote—to grow your team without blowing your budget. It’s the foundation I needed to run and scale my business with confidence. Now, it’s here for you.
