What CFO Squad does

CFO Squad LLC is a privately held outsourced accounting and financial advisory firm founded in July 2013 by Joseph Himy, CPA and headquartered in New York City. The firm operates with approximately 20+ staff across six offices in the United States (New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Texas), the Philippines (Davao City), and Israel, delivering a full suite of professional services including technical accounting (U.S. GAAP standards ASC 480, 805, 815, 740, 606, 842), SEC and financial reporting (10-K, 10-Q, S-1, SOX 404, IPO preparation), M&A advisory, tax compliance and planning, real estate services, and tiered back-office accounting subscriptions (Basic Accountant, Standard Controller, Advanced CFO). The technology backbone is a custom, cloud-based accounting platform with a unifying dashboard providing real-time financial information, ERP integrations, and management reporting tooling.

CFO Squad's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, targeting private and public companies that require CFO-level expertise and complex financial reporting without the cost of a full-time executive. The firm serves a hybrid customer base spanning startups, emerging growth companies, established private businesses, and public companies across verticals including healthcare, pharmaceutical, technology, manufacturing, real estate, cannabis, and life sciences. Notable public-company clients include Ealixir (EAXR), Siyata Mobile, Iconic Brands (ICNB), NanoVibronix (NAOV), Stemtech, and RYAH Group. Revenue is generated through a combination of professional services engagements (project-based and retainer) and recurring monthly subscriptions for the back-office accounting tiers.

The firm reports consistent double-digit revenue growth: 15% in 2020, 32.7% in 2023, and 35.2% in the first half of 2024, with leadership citing no layoffs during COVID and absorbing 20% headcount growth in 2020. Growth has been fueled by geographic expansion (Philippines in 2020, Boston in 2023, Dallas in 2025), new product offerings (cloud-based back-office accounting solution launched 2021), and senior leadership additions (Raymond Smith as Partner leading SEC Practice in 2025; Jeannine Zimmerman promoted to COO in 2025). The firm is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
