You need a CFO. You do not need a CFO salary.
A fractional CFO gives you senior financial leadership on a regular, part-time basis, without the cost or the commitment of a full-time hire. The same expertise, sized to what your organization actually consumes.
You are probably a candidate if one of these is true right now.
Fractional is the most common way clients start with us, and the easiest to resize once we know each other.
A standing seat at the table, not an advisor you call in a crisis.
The scope is a CFO scope. The schedule is what changes.
Strategic financial counsel
Working closely with your CEO, management team, and board of directors on the strategic business issues that decide the next stage.
Oversight of accounting
Owning the accounting function, or supervising the team that runs it, so the numbers are right before anyone acts on them.
External relationships
Credibility with employees, creditors, suppliers, banks, auditors, and investors, which makes it easier to attract better people and secure better terms.
Growth and funding readiness
Innovative solutions to financial challenges, sharper accounting strategy, and the readiness to move when a round or a transaction appears.
Two words the market uses loosely. Here is what we mean by each.
Getting the shape right matters more than the title. The wrong one costs you either money or coverage.
Fractional CFO
A strategic financial partner who works part-time on a regular basis. A cost-effective way to access senior expertise you cannot justify full-time.
Interim CFO
Typically a full-time financial consulting position, retained for the transition period between one CFO leaving and the search and hiring of the next.
Part-time hours. Not part-time judgment.
Every CFO spent their career as a CPA inside a Big 4 accounting firm. You get that level of judgment on the schedule your organization can carry, and the same person year after year rather than a rotating bench.
MEET THE LEADERSHIP TEAM →Not the right shape? There are five other ways in.
One call, no charge, and a straight answer on whether we are the right fit.
You will speak with the CFO for your market, not a salesperson. If the answer is no, we will tell you that too.
