About
A CPA firm that builds its own tools.
Acta CPA is a fractional-CFO firm based in Hoboken, New Jersey. We started as a traditional CPA practice and rebuilt ourselves around one conviction: the finance function of a $5M–$100M company should run with the same data discipline and automation as a company ten times its size.
Today we are two partners and a platform that closes books, produces board and lender reporting, and forecasts cash for our clients every month — on our infrastructure, or inside theirs.
Partners
Justin Britt, CPA, CMA, MBA
Justin has spent twenty years in public accounting and private-equity finance. He serves as Group CFO across a private-equity-backed portfolio of services companies and as fractional CFO to Acta’s clients — and he built the platform Acta runs on: the data layer, the reporting engine, and the agents that execute the close.
He founded Acta on the view that a CFO who can build the system is worth more than one who can only read its output.
Jim Bulger, CPA
Jim was Controller at Hungry Root, where he led accounting through the company’s growth to roughly $800M. He brings operating-company finance leadership to Acta’s CFO engagements: the close, the reporting, and the controls and cadence a growing company needs before its next raise, refinancing, or sale.
How we think about it.
One definition, every surface
A metric isn’t done when it’s correct. It’s done when every report, deck, and certificate that names it reads the same definition from the same place. We compute once and render many.
Deterministic where possible
Agents do the work; rules and reconciliations decide whether it’s right. Judgment is reserved for the CFO, and anything that moves money waits for a person.
Turnover-ready by design
What we build in your tenant is documented so that it can be handed to your next finance leader without us in the room. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on our own platform, too.
