What is a fractional CFO?

A fractional CFO is an experienced financial executive who works with your business part-time, setting targets, building forecasts, and turning your numbers into decisions, for a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO. They provide financial leadership without the full-time salary and overhead.

What a fractional CFO actually does

A fractional CFO builds the financial operating system a business runs on: revenue and margin targets, a monthly scorecard, KPI reporting, cash-flow visibility, and forecasting. The goal isn't more reports, it's better decisions.

They work alongside your bookkeeper and CPA, not instead of them. The bookkeeper records the past and the CPA files taxes; the fractional CFO looks forward and helps you decide what to do next.

Who needs one

Most owner-led businesses between roughly $1M and $25M in revenue are too big to fly blind but too small to justify a full-time CFO. That's the gap a fractional CFO fills, experienced financial leadership, part-time, scaled to your stage.

Common questions

Far less than a full-time CFO. You get experienced financial leadership part-time, scaled to your size and stage, without the full-time salary, benefits, and overhead.
