Fractional CFO in California
Clear financial reporting starts with understanding how your business works.
When sales grow but margins stay flat, you need more than another report. I connect your financial data with the systems and operations behind it, so you can see where money is made and where it goes.
I’m Yury Zabella, a fractional CFO for growing food and beverage, manufacturing, and technology businesses. I bring more than 20 years of finance and technology experience, including an eight-figure exit as a co-founder.
Financial leadership for your next decision
Your books may tell you what happened last month. They should also help you decide what to do next. I work with your existing finance staff to make your numbers more useful.
Understand margins
Track costs and profitability by product, service, or project.
Connect your systems
Bring finance data together with inventory, production, or customer systems.
Plan cash and growth
Build forecasts and reporting that support hiring, spending, and investment decisions.
Prepare for a sale
Strengthen financial records, processes, and systems for buyer review.
Food manufacturers may need clearer labor and inventory costs. Technology businesses may need a better view of project margins or billing. I focus on the questions that matter to your business.
Choose the level of CFO support you need
I offer hourly work and monthly retainers based on your company’s stage.
Startup: building the foundation
Growth: optimizing for scale
Exit: preparing for a sale
Retainers have a three-month minimum. Additional hours are billed at the tier’s hourly rate. Bookkeeping, accounts payable and receivable processing, and daily operational accounting are not included in retainers.
How we work together
1. Talk through your goals.
In a free consultation, we discuss your business, your financial questions, and whether I’m a fit.
2. Map the gaps.
I look at how information moves through your operations and into your financial reports.
3. Build a plan.
We identify the reporting, systems, and processes that need attention.
4. Put the work into practice.
I work alongside your existing team to improve the flow of information and support decisions.
Experience with California manufacturing
At Galaxy Desserts in California, I redesigned labor tracking for a product made over two days. The company gained a clearer view of the cost of a shared work-in-progress component and redesigned the process, reducing the finished good’s total labor cost by 12%.
That experience shapes how I approach financial problems: follow the operational details, then make sure they show up in the numbers.
One CFO, from the first conversation onward
You work directly with me. Before starting my fractional CFO practice, I worked inside food manufacturing, helped build financial and operational systems, and co-founded a technology consulting business. I bring that experience to the way I look at your costs, systems, and plans for growth.
Serving businesses across California
I support California businesses remotely. For companies in San Francisco and the Bay Area, I can meet in person when useful.
