Why Companies Choose Brimmer Company for IPO Prep
An operator, not a consultant
We do not hand you a report and leave. We step in as fractional CFO and make sure the work gets done.
Audit-ready before the auditors arrive
We tighten internal controls and align with external auditors so PCAOB audit issues get solved early.
Numbers that survive diligence
We prepare your reporting infrastructure for investor scrutiny and underwriter due diligence.
CFO discipline without the full-time cost
Get CFO-level leadership part time instead of hiring a full-time executive before you are ready.
Calmer close cycles
We compress month-end and quarter-end close into a predictable, structured routine.
Board and investor confidence
Clear reporting packages so leadership can present accurate updates without scrambling.

Frequently asked questions
What does an IPO consultant actually do here?
Brimmer Company works as a fractional CFO and compliance operator. We build the reporting systems, controls and filing processes a public company needs, and we execute the work rather than only advising.
Who is this a fit for?
Private companies planning to go public within 12-24 months, and small public companies with $5M-$50M in revenue. It is not a fit for private businesses under $2M in revenue with no public company or IPO plans.
Do you audit our financials?
No. We prepare you for auditors, we do not act as your auditor. We tighten internal controls and align with your external audit team so issues get resolved before they escalate.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on scope. Every engagement starts with a confidential 20-minute review and requires a signed engagement agreement covering scope of work, compensation, responsibilities and confidentiality.
Do you work with companies outside our state?
Yes. Services are delivered remotely across the United States by appointment. We do not serve clients outside the US.
We are already public but filings keep slipping. Can you help?
Yes. Filing stabilization is a core service for companies where 10-Q deadlines are slipping or audit pressure is building.
