Fractional CFO, CEO, COO, and Project Management for Chemical Manufacturing Companies
Cimientu Advisory provides fractional CFO, CEO, COO, project management, and operations leadership for discrete, process, and chemical manufacturers. We connect plant-level cost and capacity to the financial statements so leadership can price, invest, and grow on accurate numbers.
- Discrete and process manufacturing
- Chemical manufacturing
- Industrial products
Senior leadership, scaled to what you need.
Fractional CFO
Standard costing, plant and product-line margins, capital expenditure evaluation, forecasting, and the KPIs that tie the plant floor to cash.
Fractional CEO
Interim executive leadership through ownership transitions, turnarounds, and expansions, including plant consolidations and new product lines.
Fractional COO
Plant operations, production scheduling, procurement, safety programs, and the operating cadence that improves throughput and yield.
Fractional Project Management
ERP implementations, plant expansions, safety and regulatory compliance programs, and capital projects, kept on schedule with honest status reports.
Each role can be engaged on its own or together, alongside strategy, AI and technology, ERP and systems execution, and back office operations. See what we do.
Where the foundation tends to crack.
Product costs nobody trusts
Standard costs drift from actual, overhead is allocated by habit, and margin by product or customer is a guess.
Inventory and working capital
Raw materials, work in process, and finished goods tie up cash, and valuation errors move the bottom line.
Capital decisions
Equipment, capacity, and plant investments need a clear return case before the money is committed.
Compliance and certification
Environmental, health, and safety obligations and ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certification need documented processes and audit readiness.
What we build together.
- Standard cost and overhead allocation review
- Margin by product, customer, and plant
- Inventory valuation and working capital programs
- Capital expenditure evaluation
- ERP selection and implementation
- ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 audit readiness

Engagements run as fixed-fee deliverables, hourly and project work, or a monthly retainer. See how we engage.

Plain answers, as promised.
Can a fractional CFO help a manufacturer improve margins?
Yes. Most margin gains start with accurate product costing: reconciling standard to actual costs, allocating overhead on real drivers, and reporting margin by product and customer so pricing and mix decisions are based on facts.
Do you help with ERP for manufacturers?
Yes. We support ERP selection, configuration, integration, and adoption, with a focus on inventory, bills of materials, costing, and financial close.
Do you work with chemical companies?
Yes. Our principals include an executive with CEO and CFO experience in the chemicals industry, and we support chemical manufacturers on finance, operations, compliance, and M&A.
Can you provide a fractional CEO, COO, or project manager, not only a CFO?
Yes. Each fractional role can be engaged on its own or together. A fractional CEO provides interim executive leadership through transitions, turnarounds, and growth phases. A fractional COO runs day-to-day operations, processes, and systems. Fractional project management keeps initiatives such as ERP implementations, plant expansions, and capital projects moving, with coordination, follow-through, and honest status reports.
