Fractional CFO

CFO-level leadership, at a fraction of the cost.

A full-time CFO is a major salary most growing businesses cannot justify. But the expertise gap is real: someone needs to look forward, not just record the past. Our fractional CFO service gives you forecasting, cash flow strategy, and decision support from professionals who have seen every stage.

The signs are usually there before the title is.

Your bookkeeper tells you what happened. Nobody is telling you what to do next. That gap is exactly what a fractional CFO fills, and most businesses need one sooner than they think.

If any of these feel familiar, it is time for a conversation.

  • Cash flow is getting harder to predict and you are making decisions on gut feel because the numbers lag behind the business.
  • You are preparing to raise capital or take on debt and need projections, models, and financials that hold up to scrutiny.
  • Growth is raising the stakes and pricing, hiring, and spending decisions carry more risk than they used to.
  • You have the data but not the direction and reports pile up without anyone translating them into a plan.

A financial leader in your corner.

Your bookkeeper handles the history. We handle the future. Every engagement is tailored to your business, and typically includes:

Forecasting and Budgeting

Financial models and budgets that connect your numbers to your plans, updated as the business evolves.

Cash Flow Strategy

Clear visibility into cash today and runway tomorrow, with a practical plan to protect and extend both.

KPI Reporting and Analysis

The handful of metrics that actually drive your business, tracked monthly and translated into plain language.

Growth and ROI Decision Support

Real analysis behind your biggest decisions: hiring, pricing, expansion, and where your next dollar works hardest.

Investor and Lender Readiness

Projections, models, and reporting packages that hold up in a boardroom, a bank meeting, or a due diligence process.

Monthly Advisory Cadence

A standing rhythm of financial updates and working sessions, so guidance arrives when decisions are being made, not after.

Common questions about fractional CFOs.

What is a fractional CFO?

A fractional CFO provides CFO-level financial leadership on a part-time basis. You get the forecasting, cash flow strategy, and decision support of a senior finance executive, scaled to what your business actually needs and priced accordingly.

How is this different from my bookkeeper or accountant?

Bookkeepers and accountants are focused on the past: recording what happened accurately. A fractional CFO is focused on the future: what your numbers mean, where the business is headed, and what to do next. Both matter. Most businesses have the first and are missing the second.

Do I need to use your bookkeeping to get CFO advisory?

No. If you already have a bookkeeper you trust, we work alongside them and add the forward-looking layer on top. If your books need work first, we will tell you honestly, because advisory built on bad data is worse than no advisory at all.

How often will we meet?

Most engagements run on a monthly cadence: a financial update, a working session, and availability in between when decisions come up. We adjust the rhythm to your stage and your needs.

How quickly can we start?

Fast. After the discovery call and assessment, most clients are in a working advisory rhythm within a few weeks. Compare that to the months it takes to search for, hire, and onboard a full-time finance executive.

What does it cost?

Meaningfully less than a full-time hire, and structured as clear, predictable monthly pricing rather than an open-ended retainer. The exact number depends on scope, which is what the free discovery call is for.
