Empowering Businesses to Scale with Financial Clarity and Confidence

By TED ROSE, ROSE FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS

Welcome to the very first edition of ROSE Insights—a weekly newsletter where I share perspectives on the trends, tools, and strategies reshaping finance and accounting. My goal is simple: to equip CFOs and business leaders with the clarity and confidence they need to scale.

At ROSE, we know that scaling a company requires more than numbers—it takes a team with expertise across finance, accounting, tax, GovCon, and technology. Our approach is holistic: it starts with people, grows through process, is enabled by technology, and is connected through an enterprise-grade organization. Together, these elements generate the data leaders need to make informed decisions and remain compliant. We call this solution FaaS—Finance as a Service.



Our client base collectively generates $1–2 billion in annual revenue, and through this newsletter, I’ll be covering the challenges and opportunities that arise at every stage of growth—from start-up through exit. Expect practical insights on common issues finance teams face, along with proven strategies to overcome them.


One ongoing theme is automation and the future of finance. Offshoring once filled the gap in routine accounting work, but costs are shifting and technology is advancing. The real opportunity now is to build resilient, scalable financial infrastructure that delivers accuracy and insight—without relying solely on headcount.


In my video, Empowering CFOs to Scale Strategically, I share how CFOs can elevate their role as strategic advisors. By aligning People, Process, Technology, Organization, and Data, leaders can focus on growth, profitability, and execution—while ensuring the financial back office runs seamlessly.


As highlighted in our recent press release, ROSE is expanding our network of fractional CFOs and CPA firms, enabling leaders to gain both clarity about the past and confidence in the future. This is about more than numbers—it’s about building financial infrastructure that empowers companies to scale with precision.


This newsletter marks the beginning of an ongoing conversation. Each week, I’ll bring you actionable insights you can apply immediately to strengthen your role as a financial leader.
