LiftBridge brings corporate finance experience to your organization

## Why LiftBridge?

A lift bridge stands parallel to the bridge expanse, efficiently pulling the roadway up to provide passage for ships. Like our namesake, LiftBridge provides valuable knowledge and services to bridge the gap between where your organization is now and where you want to go.

Founded in 2020 by three female CFOs, the vision of LiftBridge is that everybody gets smart finance. The founders’ extensive experience across multiple industries made them realize by teaming up, they could provide even greater expertise to their clients. In a few short years, the LiftBridge team has grown over 400%. Talent begets talent.

Our passion is lifting early stage and growth organizations to the next level of growth by offering interim, fractional, and project-based CFO services. In 2024, we are excited to add outsourced accounting services to our service offering.

The future you envision for your organization is important to us. You can learn more about us below and how we can help you reach your goals.
