What is a fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO provides part-time, executive-level financial leadership. You get strategic guidance, cash flow management, fundraising support, financial modeling, and board presentations, without the $200K+ cost of a full-time CFO. It's ideal for businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeeping but aren't ready for a full-time finance executive.
How much do CFO services cost?
Our engagements typically range from $2,000-$8,000/month depending on the package and complexity. Startup CFO packages start lower, while comprehensive Growth CFO or Capital Advisory engagements reflect the strategic depth involved. Every engagement is custom-scoped after our discovery call.
How is this different from an accountant or bookkeeper?
Bookkeepers record transactions. Accountants prepare statements and tax returns. A CFO uses financial data to drive strategy, telling you where to invest, when to hire, how to structure a deal, and what your business is worth. We look forward, not just backward.
What industries do you serve?
We work across industries including technology startups, professional services, construction, healthcare, e-commerce, and real estate. Our approach adapts to your industry's unique financial dynamics, whether that's SaaS metrics, job costing, or inventory management.
How often will I meet with my CFO?
Most clients meet bi-weekly or monthly, depending on the engagement. During critical periods like fundraising, M&A, or rapid growth, we increase cadence as needed. You also have direct access via email and scheduled calls between meetings.
Can you work with my existing bookkeeper or accountant?
Absolutely. We collaborate with your existing financial team to help alignment. In many cases, we help optimize their workflows and reporting so the data feeding into strategic decisions is accurate and timely.
