BELAY buys Scale Finance for financial staffing

GEORGIA, UNITED STATES — Virtual staffing provider BELAY has enhanced its financial staffing offerings through the acquisition of Scale Finance, a firm that offers chief financial officer and controller services to companies.

“We saw a growing need for small businesses and nonprofits to enlist trusted financial expertise, but hiring an experienced executive was typically out of reach. Our existing fractional CFO model was a game-changer for these organizations and now with Scale, we can offer even more tailored options designed to fit exactly what they need,” said BELAY Chief Executive Officer Tricia Sciortino.

Through its purchase of Scale Finance, BELAY can offer a suite of fractional (part-time or per project) CFO and controller work. These include longer-term financial planning and budgeting, decision-supported analysis, financial reporting, and cash forecasting, among others.

Founded in 2010, BELAY provides U.S.-based virtual assistants and accounting professionals to businesses, nonprofits, and churches. In 2023, it fortified its service offerings through the addition of a full-service managed payroll to its accounting services.

Scale Finance is a financial company that specializes in offering CFO and controller services for small firms. Founded in 2006, it has 45 employees with over 120 clients.
