Five more provisional passes bring the continuation to 9 of 96 buyer-firm candidates

Asked (summary)

Scout for buyer firms — genuinely net-new U.S. fractional-CFO / outsourced-CFO practices with 1–15 staff, explicitly serving startups, SaaS/technology, venture-backed companies, or growth SMBs — as potential acquirers of Goalfinder.

Asked (follow-up)

“Great job, let's keep going.”

This continuation pass surfaced 5 new provisional PASS firms — Imperial Advisory, CFO Growth Advisors, Adea Company, Greenhouse Business Advisors, and Apex Fractional CFO — with U.S., size, client-fit, founder, and contact-route evidence for each. With the prior continuation's 4, the running total is 9 of the requested 96 additional firms; 87 remain. The original StartupCFO result does not count toward the 96. All five remain provisional until owner-side internal dedupe; research date 2026-09-27.

Progress toward 96 additional firms

Greenhouse Business Advisors is reclassified to OBSERVED-UNVERIFIED (class 5): the route Mark@greenhouse.business names founder Mark Lupton, so the row's class-3 label was a semantic error. greenhouse.business

Only Imperial Advisory arrived with a named-founder route as recorded (gershon@imperialgrp.com, class 5); the other three routes are role inboxes, class 3. imperialgrp.com

Adea Company's route Grow@Adea-Company.Com is a team/growth inbox despite a named 9-person roster led by founder-CEO John T. Regan. adeacompany.com

All five explicitly serve the target segments — SaaS, AI/software, growth-stage and founder-led $1M–$30M companies — and all are absent from the supplied cfo_firms.csv and prior named examples. cfogrowthadvisors.com

Method: 5 firm rows from a single web-research continuation pass, dated 2026-09-27. Each row carries U.S., size, client-fit, founder, contact-route, and dedupe evidence with an official and an independent source URL. Contact class: 5 = observed-unverified named address, 3 = role-inbox fallback; Greenhouse reclassified 3→5 per review. Progress counts 9 provisional passes (4 prior + 5 new) against the 96-additional-firm target; the original StartupCFO result is excluded. Email delivery untested; no outreach authorized; internal dedupe pending. Long roster texts shortened in the table for space.
