Companies Supported
Plenty of companies are past the point where the owner can run Finance out of a spreadsheet, but nowhere near ready to pay for a full-time CFO.
The decisions in between are exactly the ones that are expensive to get wrong.
Financial Planning & Forecasting
Budgets, forecasts and financial models that give leadership a clear view of performance, cash flow and what’s ahead.
Cash and Capital Analysis
Cash forecasting, working capital management and liquidity planning to keep the business financially healthy and prepared for growth.
Executive Financial Strategy
KPI development, profitability analysis and strategic financial guidance that helps leadership make better, faster decisions.
Is fractional the right call?
If you can’t yet name the full-time hire you’d make, fractional is usually the cheaper way to find out.
When Firms Use Fractional CFOs
- Expanding from a single business line into a more diversified operation
- Preparing for a major growth initiative that will require changes to the financial structure
- Growing faster than the company’s cash flow and working capital can support
- Preparing for a financial review, audit, or increased reporting requirements
- Getting ready for a sale, recapitalization, acquisition, or lender review
- Bridging a leadership gap while searching for a permanent CFO or finance leader
Quick answers
What does a fractional CFO actually do day to day?
Sets strategy, owns the cash forecast, reviews profitability, prepares the board or lender package and supervises the controller or accounting team. Everything in the Finance function falls under the purview of this individual.
How much time do they spend with us?
Most engagements land at a few days per month, weighted toward close, board reporting and bid cycles. It flexes. Proposal season and audit season often require more support.
Fractional CFO or interim CFO: what’s the difference?
Fractional is ongoing part-time leadership for a company that doesn’t need a full-time CFO. Interim is full-time coverage for a defined gap, usually a departure or a leave. Either way, we can support you.
Will they work with the accountant we already have?
Almost always. A common structure is a fractional CFO above the existing bookkeeper or staff accountant, which is often better than replacing the person who already knows your contracts.
How quickly can someone start?
Typically within a few weeks. Because it’s part-time, the candidate pool includes former executives who wouldn’t consider a full-time role.
