Fractional CFO Services

CFO-Level Financial Leadership, Scoped to Your Business

Whether you're scaling fast, preparing to raise, working through a cash crunch, or just trying to run tighter operations, we've done this work before and know where to start.

What Is a Fractional CFO

A fractional CFO is a senior financial executive who works with your business on a part-time or retainer basis.

The title "CFO" often brings to mind Fortune 500 boardrooms and teams of analysts. But the function of a CFO is just as valuable at $3M in revenue as it is at $300M: financial leadership, risk identification, growth planning, and translating numbers into decisions.

A fractional CFO brings that function to your business without the overhead. You get dedicated strategic financial guidance on a schedule that matches your needs and budget. Think of it as having an experienced CFO available for the decisions that matter, without carrying a full-time executive salary.

Fractional CFO in Plain English

CFO-level leadership. Scoped to what your business needs.

There's a point every growing business reaches when the accountant handles the books but can't answer the decisions that actually drive the company forward. Pricing. Hiring. Capital readiness. A fractional CFO closes that gap.

  • Strategic financial oversight without a full-time hire
  • Flexible retainer scaled to your business needs
  • Executive experience across industries and growth stages
  • Immediate value, engagements start quickly
What We Do

Everything you need for strategic financial leadership.

A fractional CFO handles the strategic side of your finances, so you can make confident, informed decisions at every stage of growth.

Planning

Strategic Financial Planning

Build the financial architecture your business needs to grow with intention, including an annual operating plan, multi-year projections, and a capital strategy aligned to your goals.

Cash Flow

Cash Flow Management

We build rolling forecasts that show you exactly what's coming in and going out, so you can act before a cash gap becomes a crisis.

Capital

Fundraising & M&A Support

Fundraising, M&A, and sale processes all require investor-ready packages, modeled deal structures, and someone who has been through diligence before.

Reporting

Financial Reporting & KPIs

Board-ready reporting isn't just for companies with boards. We build reporting structures and KPI dashboards tailored to your industry and business model.

Operations

Operational Efficiency

We look beyond the income statement to understand how your business runs, where margins are eroding, where overhead is creeping, and which process improvements can affect the bottom line.

Roadmap

Growth Strategy & Financial Roadmap

We build multi-year financial roadmaps that align capital allocation, hiring plans, and revenue targets to your growth goals.

Is It Right for You

Six signs you're ready for a fractional CFO.

Sign 01

Your books are accurate, but nobody is interpreting them or helping you plan ahead. You're making big decisions without a strategic financial voice.

Sign 02

Investors and lenders scrutinize financials intensely. You need projections, narratives, and models that tell a compelling, defensible story.

Sign 03

You've had months where the bank balance surprised you, in the wrong direction. You need a forward-looking system, not just historical reports.

Sign 04

Whether you have formal investors, a board of advisors, or simply want to run your company at that level of rigor, we build the reporting infrastructure that makes it possible.

Sign 05

Big inflection points, including new locations, new markets, acquisitions, or a potential sale, call for financial modeling and a CFO who has been through them before.

Sign 06

The most common thing we hear from new clients: "I feel like I'm always behind." A fractional CFO changes that dynamic.

Ready When You Are

Get the financial leadership your business needs without the full-time overhead.

We work with businesses in the $1M–$20M range that are making real growth decisions and need a CFO who has worked through them before.
