AVL Growth Partners

What AVL Growth Partners does

AVL Growth Partners is a Boulder, Colorado-based professional services firm providing outsourced fractional CFO services and full-stack finance team support to growth-stage and founder-led companies. Founded in 2009, the firm operates with approximately 70 professionals averaging 18 years of CFO experience each, delivering embedded financial leadership — including CFO, Controller, and Accounting functions — through subscription-style recurring engagements and discrete project work spanning M&A readiness, business evaluations, financial modeling, and Quality of Earnings.

The firm monetizes via two primary revenue streams: a Fractional CFO / Full Stack subscription practice priced monthly on engagement scope, and a Custom Projects practice priced per deliverable. Service delivery is anchored to a proprietary Mindful Growth methodology (Evaluate, Engineer, Execute, Endgame) and a differentiated Dual-CFO Partnership Model that pairs the client's internal CFO with an AVL fractional CFO. Customer acquisition is sales-led, driven by direct outreach, a structured partner referral network spanning investors, attorneys, and wealth advisors, and thought leadership via the Insights Journal. The firm claims 1,500+ clients served nationwide, $700M in client revenue under management, and $1B in cumulative equity, debt, and M&A transaction value across 200 deals.

In October 2025, AVL was acquired by Amplēo, a Utah-based national fractional executive services firm; the combination extends AVL's geographic footprint from its Colorado base to a nationwide platform and adds adjacency services in CMO, HR, 409A Valuation, and Sales Tax. Following the deal, the AVL team, methodology, and service model remain intact under the Amplēo umbrella, positioning the combined entity as a multi-function fractional executive platform for high-growth U.S. companies.
