Meet Jacinthe Koddo

Founder of Koddo & Co., CFO Advisor

“From Interior Designer to fractional CFO to CEO since 2009, I've braved the entrepreneurial rollercoaster—six businesses, four failures, two successes, all teaching me the harsh realities of business finance.

In 2018, I shifted to financial services, co-founding a firm alongside CFOs and CPAs. Seeing the disconnect between accountants and entrepreneurs, I committed to providing clarity, with a clear cash flow understanding and enabling my clients to say goodbye to the “numbers person” struggle.”

I look forward to supporting you and bringing financial clarity your way.”

“Working with Jacinthe helps me to feel confident in making important business decisions...

Before working with Jacinthe, I never felt quite sure where the business was financially. Working with her helps me to feel confident in making important business decisions like ‘can I hire more staff?’, ‘can I expand my advertising budget?’, and ‘can I pay myself more?’."

Co-Owner & CMO, Tarot Readers Academy & Ethony Enterprises

  • We specialize in agencies under $10M. We understand the unique challenges you have as you grow -- managing capacity, gaining efficiency, investing in growth, all while balancing your margins and cash flow.

    As fellow entrepreneurs, we relate to your journey as a small business owner and meet you exactly where you are.

    We are not a big agency for whom clients are just a number. We stand by your side, becoming a sounding board to help you make informed financial decisions.

  • Your accountant (likely your tax accountant) and your bookkeeper are super important. And, they only work on their respective areas.

    Koddo & Co.'s CFO and Controller services bring the specific financials systems, oversight and reporting that your agency needs as it grows.

    We help you to:

    • forecast cash flow and profit so you can make informed growth decisions

    • establish or refine your financial financial dashboard

    • get exit-ready and preparing for sale or hands-off ownership

    When you hire Koddo & Co. through one of our tailored engagements, you’ll get a financial coach, a business advisor, a financial project manager, and an expert sounding board (aka Financial Fairy Godmother) who will guide you through making solid financial decisions for your business.

  • We get it! Running a creative agency is a lot. Exhilarating, exhausting, exciting, rewarding but also ever consuming, without adding something else to your plate.

    By working with Koddo & Co., you’re bringing in a partner who can take on the financial oversight of your business, giving you more capacity to focus on what you love.

    You’re also getting a sounding board and business advisor, taking the loneliness and stress out of being at the top.

    Your time commitment may be as low as a couple hours per month. It’s all dependent on the type of engagement. But know that you’re not bringing someone on who is simply telling you what to do and leaving. We establish what needs to be done and execute on it.

  • While every engagement is tailored to your agency, if your goal is to grow your business in order to exit by selling or bringing in management, build sustainable and efficient systems, and take control of cash flow and profit, plan to invest up to 5% of your revenue on financial management and business advisory services.

  • As the owner, you are the one who fixes everything, losing sleep over ALL the problems that arise. The burden of hand-holding everyone and feeling exhausted takes a toll on your well-being, hindering your ability to focus on the creative aspects of your agency.

    By waiting to work with Koddo & Co., consequences like these can be severe.

    You may end up late by months (or years) on your tax filings and short on cash to pay yourself and your team.

    Additionally, if not watched carefully, the common combination of slow-paying clients and ballooning expenses as you hire support, may result in cash crunches that cause you even more stress. Don't let these financial pitfalls impede your progress and put your agency's financial stability at risk.

    The sooner you understand what’s going on with your finances, the sooner you can stop bleeding money and start regaining profit, cash flow, and your peace of mind.
