The Multipli Group

What The Multipli Group does

The Multipli Group is a private, founder-led boutique that delivers fractional CFO and strategic advisory services exclusively to restaurant groups in the United States. Founded in January 2024 by Ned Algeo — former CFO of Xperience Restaurant Group, 2022 Orange County Business Journal CFO of the Year, and 2023 OC 500 Most Influential honoree — the firm is structured around a single integrated service offering covering financial leadership and strategy, reporting and period close with unit-level P&Ls, FP&A and forecasting, board and lender support, turnaround and crisis management, and growth and transition planning. Engagements are shaped per client, ranging from short-term interventions to ongoing CFO partnerships, and target restaurant groups at inflection points: companies navigating turnarounds, preparing for multi-unit growth, or undergoing ownership transitions.

The company is legally organized as Multipli Management LLC (dba The Multipli Group), headquartered in Newport Beach, California, with 1-10 employees. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is human expertise delivered through operator-grade financial management. The client roster includes recognized brands such as Zov's Bistro, Starfish Hospitality Group, Wahlburgers, Flecha Cantina by Mark Wahlberg, Hard Eight BBQ, 3Natives, and Norm's, alongside emerging groups.

Revenue is generated on a quote-based, monthly-billed fractional retainer model. No external funding has been raised; the firm is founder-owned and privately held. In December 2025, Multipli announced a strategic partnership with OCRA (a restaurant accounting and back-office services provider) and the divestiture of its bookkeeping division, with the combined entity positioned to serve nearly 400 restaurants — a meaningful channel and reach expansion for the fractional CFO practice.

Core offering

The Multipli Group provides fractional CFO and strategic advisory services exclusively to restaurant groups. Engagements scale from short-term interventions to long-term ongoing CFO partnerships, delivering senior financial leadership including strategy and unit economics counsel, reporting and period close with restaurant-specific P&Ls, FP&A and forecasting, board and lender support, turnaround and crisis execution, and growth or transition planning.

Product overview

The Multipli Group offers a single unified offering: Fractional CFO & Restaurant Advisory services. The core service provides senior financial leadership for restaurant groups at every stage — turnaround, growth, transition, and ongoing operations. The service is structured around six integrated sub-products: Financial Leadership (strategy and unit economics counsel), Reporting & Period Close (flash reports and P&L management), FP&A & Forecasting (budgets and scenario planning), Board & Lender Support (decks and investor updates), Turnaround & Crisis Support (recovery planning), and Growth & Transition Planning. These are not separate modules but rather capability areas within one integrated advisory engagement, shaped around what each restaurant group actually needs.

Direct peers

• Chief Outsiders: Nationwide network of fractional C-level executives, including fractional CFOs, serving mid-market companies. Overlaps directly with Multipli on the fractional executive delivery model and on serving companies not yet ready for a full-time C-suite.
• FocusCFO: Fractional CFO firm serving small and mid-sized businesses across the U.S. with on-demand senior finance leadership. Closely mirrors Multipli's retainer-based, fractional-engagement model and target customer profile.
• B2B CFO Partners: Largest U.S. fractional CFO firm, providing outsourced CFO services to owner-led and growth-stage businesses. Directly comparable to Multipli in delivery model (fractional senior financial leadership) and customer type (non-public mid-market companies), though less restaurant-vertical-focused.
• Burkland Associates: Provides fractional CFO, accounting, and finance support to venture-backed startups and growth-stage companies. Comparable outsourced-finance model targeting high-growth operators, similar in spirit to Multipli's growth and transition engagements.

Emerging players

• Paro: Marketplace and talent platform that connects businesses with fractional finance and accounting professionals. An emerging alternative sourcing channel for the same fractional CFO demand Multipli addresses, potentially reshaping how restaurant groups find senior finance talent.

Broad incumbents

• Baker Tilly: National advisory, accounting, and consulting firm with a dedicated restaurants and food services practice. Competes with Multipli for restaurant CFO advisory work, particularly with PE-backed and growth-stage operators, while bundling audit, tax, and consulting.
• Plante Moran: Large accounting and advisory firm with a dedicated restaurants practice serving emerging and middle-market restaurant groups. Competes for CFO advisory engagements with Multipli's target customers while offering the full stack of audit, tax, and consulting.
• Wipfli: Top-20 U.S. accounting and consulting firm with a restaurant and hospitality industry group providing outsourced CFO, accounting, and advisory services to multi-unit operators. Comparable in restaurant-vertical focus but with far broader scale and service capabilities.
• CohnReznick: Top-25 accounting and advisory firm with a recognized restaurant industry practice offering CFO advisory, transaction, tax, and assurance services. Targets many of the same multi-unit restaurant operators as Multipli but as part of a much larger full-service firm.
• Alvarez & Marsal: Global professional services firm with a dedicated Consumer & Retail practice including restaurants. Competes with Multipli for turnaround and performance-improvement mandates at larger and PE-backed restaurant groups, but operates at a much broader scale and with a wider service menu.
