You've Outgrown Basic Bookkeeping, But You're Not Ready for a Full-Time CFO

Making Decisions in the Dark

You're running your business based on gut feelings instead of solid financial data. You know there's got to be a better way to understand where your money is going and coming from.

Cash Flow Confusion

Some months feel great, others have you wondering where all the money went. You need better visibility into your cash flow patterns and how to manage them.

Growth Planning Guesswork

You want to grow, but you're not sure if you can afford that new hire, equipment purchase, or expansion. You need someone to help you plan and model different scenarios.

Full-Time CFO = Too Expensive

A full-time CFO salary plus benefits could easily cost $150K-$300K+ annually. That's a huge commitment when you just need strategic guidance, not a full-time employee.

What Is a Fractional CFO? (And Why It's Perfect for Growing Businesses)

A fractional CFO is like having a seasoned chief financial officer on your team, but on a part-time basis. You get all the strategic financial guidance, planning, and insights of a full-time CFO, but at a fraction of the cost and with the flexibility to scale up or down as needed.

Think of it as having a trusted financial advisor who really understands your business, knows your industry, and can help you make smart decisions about everything from cash flow to growth investments—all delivered remotely so you can work with the best talent regardless of location.

Perfect for Businesses That:

  • Have outgrown basic bookkeeping and need strategic guidance
  • Want to make data-driven decisions instead of guessing
  • Need help with growth planning and cash flow management
  • Can't justify a full-time CFO but need that level of insight
  • Prefer the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of remote services

Frequently Asked Questions About Fractional CFO Services

How is this different from having an accountant or bookkeeper?
Accountants and bookkeepers focus on recording what happened (historical data and compliance). A fractional CFO focuses on what's going to happen and how to make it better (strategic planning and forward-looking guidance). Think of it as the difference between a scorekeeper and a coach.
How much time do you spend on my business each month?
It depends on your needs and the package you choose. We customize our engagement based on your specific requirements and business complexity.
Do I need to have perfect books before starting?
Not at all! Part of our initial assessment includes reviewing your current financial systems and processes. If there are issues with your books, we can help you get them cleaned up or work with your bookkeeper to improve accuracy.
How quickly can we get started?
Usually within 1-2 weeks of our initial conversation. We move quickly because we know you need answers and guidance, not lengthy onboarding processes. The sooner we start, the sooner you can start making better decisions.
What if I need more or less support over time?
That's the beauty of fractional services—they're flexible! We can easily adjust the level of support based on your changing needs.
Do you work with businesses in my industry?
We work with growing businesses across most industries (except retail and ecommerce). The financial principles and strategic planning concepts we use are applicable across industries, though we always customize our approach to your specific business model and challenges.
