About CFOCrew
We're operators who step in when finance is broken or complex.
How We Started
We kept seeing the same problem: businesses hitting inflection points where traditional accounting firms couldn't keep up.
The pattern:
Growth outpaced finance infrastructure
Books were messy but nobody could untangle them
Complex situations (crypto, international, technical accounting) that generic firms avoided
Business sales derailed by financial issues
Audits becoming ordeals instead of routine
Traditional firms either couldn't handle the complexity, didn't want to do the messy cleanup work, or only offered cookie-cutter solutions. We built CFOCrew to handle what others avoid.
What Makes Us Different
- We Handle Technical Complexity - Accounting position memos, revenue recognition, crypto transactions, audit defense. We document positions that survive scrutiny from auditors, investors, and regulators.
- We Fix Messy Situations - Most firms want clean, simple clients. We specialize in fixing the mess.
- We're Hands-On Operators - We're former senior finance leaders who've been in the trenches. We implement, not just advise.
- We Deal with Real Complexity - Crypto, international operations, business sales, turnarounds, technical accounting - situations where others say "that's complicated" are where we work best.
- We're Honest About Fit - We turn away 30-40% of inquiries that aren't a good fit. We'd rather be honest upfront than waste your time.
Meet Our Leadership

Elchin Bayramov
CPA, MBA - Founder
Elchin brings senior finance experience shaped by regulated, high-stakes environments. At EY, he served as a Senior Manager leading audit and advisory work for public and private companies, where accuracy, defensibility, and professional judgment were non-negotiable.
He went on to serve as CFO and finance leader for high-growth technology and crypto businesses, working in close proximity to investors, banks, and auditors on complex accounting, digital asset considerations, and transaction readiness. His focus has consistently been on making the numbers reliable, defensible, and usable under external scrutiny.
With a practical understanding of modern finance operations, including automation and AI-assisted workflows, Elchin helps businesses move faster and operate more efficiently while keeping accountability and decision-making firmly human.
He founded CFOCrew to provide the kind of hands-on, technically rigorous finance support that growing and complex businesses need - without building a full internal finance organization before it's warranted.

Jalil's work spans due diligence, purchase accounting, post-acquisition integration, capital structure optimization, audit readiness, and finance function transformation. Known for a practical and collaborative leadership style, he helps organizations bring structure to complexity, improve performance, and align financial strategy with long-term business objectives.
