Armanino Pricing

Armanino is one of the largest independent accounting and consulting firms in the United States, consistently ranked in the top 25. Founded in 1940 and headquartered in San Ramon, California, Armanino offers the full spectrum of professional services including audit, tax, consulting, and—relevant to our discussion—fractional CFO and advisory services.

Unlike boutique fractional CFO firms, Armanino brings Big Four-level resources and expertise to every engagement. Their CFO practice draws from deep benches of experienced professionals who have held senior finance roles at major corporations. This premium expertise comes with premium pricing—Armanino is not the right choice for early-stage startups on tight budgets, but can be invaluable for companies with complex financial needs or those preparing for significant corporate events.

Armanino CFO and advisory engagements typically range from $10,000 to $50,000+ per month depending on the scope, seniority of the team, and complexity of your needs. This places them at the premium end of the fractional CFO market, reflecting their firm's scale and reputation.
