Fractional CFO / Controllership
Senior-level financial strategy, scaled to your business — without full-time overhead.
At a certain point, a business needs more than accurate books and clean reporting — it needs someone thinking strategically about cash flow, forecasting, and what the numbers mean for the next 6 to 18 months. That’s traditionally a CFO’s job, and traditionally a $150,000+ full-time hire. Fractional CFO support gives you that same senior-level thinking, scoped to a few hours a month instead of a full-time salary.
What’s included
Cash flow forecasting and scenario planning
Board- and investor-ready financial reporting
Strategic guidance on hiring, pricing, and growth decisions, grounded in your actual numbers
Support through financing rounds, loan applications, or a business sale process
Direct access to senior-level financial thinking — not a junior account manager relaying questions upward
Why work with us for this?
“Fractional” only works if the person doing it actually has senior-level experience to offer in a few hours — otherwise it’s a bookkeeper with a bigger title, which is the exact concern most business owners have about outsourced CFO services. Our team’s background across public practice and corporate finance means the forecasting and strategic guidance we bring is the same caliber a full-time CFO hire would provide, scoped to what your business actually needs right now.
Who this is for
Scale-up founders whose bookkeeper or controller has hit the ceiling of what they can strategically offer — especially ahead of a fundraising round, a major financing decision, or simply outgrowing gut-feel planning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Aren’t we too small for a CFO?
That’s exactly what “fractional” solves. You get senior-level thinking scoped to a few hours a month, not a full-time hire.
How is this different from a bookkeeper or controller?
Bookkeeping and controllership keep the numbers accurate and current. CFO-level work uses those numbers to answer forward-looking questions — can we afford to hire, what happens to cash flow if we take this contract, how do we present to an investor.
What does a typical engagement look like?
Scope varies by business, which is exactly why we don’t publish fixed packages — a free consultation defines what makes sense for where you are.
How often will we hear from you?
Monthly, at minimum — consistency is the entire value of this service.
