Houston’s energy sector and industrial base demand financial rigor that matches the complexity of the business. Michelet Financial — based in Houston — delivers outsourced CFO strategy for energy services companies, manufacturers, and growth-stage businesses across the Energy Corridor, The Woodlands, and Sugar Land.
Fractional CFO Houston
Michelet Financial provides fractional CFO services for Houston businesses — from energy services and oilfield supply companies in the Energy Corridor to manufacturing businesses in Pasadena and Baytown and growth-stage companies in The Woodlands and Sugar Land. Engagements include financial strategy, cash flow management, M&A readiness, and board reporting — delivered locally and virtually, starting at $3,000/month. Michelet Financial is based in Houston at 12645 Memorial Drive.
Houston is the energy capital of the world — and one of the country’s most complex environments for mid-market business finance. Energy price cycles, contract volatility, commodity-linked revenue, and the capital intensity of industrial operations create financial management challenges that bookkeepers and controllers aren’t equipped to navigate strategically.
Cash flow forecasting aligned to commodity cycles, contract-based revenue modeling, working capital management for oilfield services companies, and financial reporting that supports bank relationships through price volatility.
Production-cycle cash flow forecasting, inventory management, receivables optimization, and financial reporting for Houston’s petrochemical, fabrication, and industrial manufacturing companies.
Rolling 13-week forecasts, accounts receivable acceleration, payables strategy, and bank covenant compliance for Houston businesses where cash flow timing is critical to operations.
Pre-transaction financial cleanup, normalized EBITDA, quality of earnings prep, and data room support for Houston energy services, industrial, and professional services companies preparing to sell.
Annual operating budgets, multi-year financial models, and scenario analysis for Houston companies planning capital allocation, expansion, or ownership transition in a cyclical business environment.
Because Michelet Financial is also a tax strategy firm, Houston clients get financial decisions evaluated for both business impact and after-tax optimization — entity structure, income timing, cash extraction, and exit planning all in one engagement.
In the Energy Corridor and Westchase, Michelet Financial works with energy services companies, midstream operators, and oilfield supply businesses that need CFO-level financial oversight to manage through commodity cycles without destroying their bank relationships or running out of working capital. In The Woodlands and Conroe, we serve healthcare companies, professional services firms, and technology businesses that have grown quickly and need institutional-quality financial infrastructure without a full-time CFO salary.
In Sugar Land and Fort Bend County, we work with manufacturing companies, distribution businesses, and family-owned enterprises that are approaching an ownership transition or capital raise — and need their books, KPIs, and financial narrative in order before the deal process begins. In Pasadena, Baytown, and La Porte, we serve industrial manufacturers and petrochemical services companies where cash flow volatility and contract-based revenue create complexity that demands CFO-level management.
Brandt Michelet’s background includes strategic financial work at enterprise scale — including experience connected to Landry’s Inc. (600+ venues, billions in annual revenue) — bringing large-enterprise financial discipline to Houston’s mid-market companies. As a Houston-based firm, Michelet Financial understands the specific dynamics of Houston’s energy economy, its real estate cycles, and its business culture in a way that national fractional CFO firms cannot replicate.
