Advisory HQ
A financial officer
in the room when it is big.
Most camps do not need a full-time CFO. They need one when tuition is being set, when a new program is on the table, or when the bank calls. We sit in that seat for the decisions that matter.
- Who it is for
- Owner-operated camps facing a pricing, growth, or financing decision.
- On its own?
- Yes. You do not have to move your accounting to us. If we already close your books, your Director is your fractional CFO.

Budgeting and forecasting
A budget built on how camp actually earns.
We build the annual budget with you from sessions, camper weeks, and staffing plans, then keep it honest through the season as deposits come in.
Tuition and pricing strategy
What a session should cost.
We look at what each session costs to run, what families have paid before, and what nearby camps charge, so the next rate increase is a decision and not a guess.
Growth and diversification
More than one way through the year.
Offseason rentals, day camp, retreats, and family weekends can carry the property through the slow months. We model which ones fit your camp and what they take to run.
From a camp we work with
Financial consistency and executive leadership support
A camp that wanted a senior voice beside its leadership, in their own words.
