When should a startup hire a fractional CFO?

Ideally before your first fundraise. Having clean financials and a credible financial model dramatically increases your chances of closing a round. If you're post-revenue and spending exceeds $20K/month, CFO guidance becomes essential.

What does a Startup CFO engagement cost?

Our Startup CFO package starts at $2,000-$3,500/month depending on complexity. This is a fraction of a full-time CFO salary ($200K+) and provides the strategic foundation most startups need.

Can you help with my pitch deck financials?

Yes. We build the financial model, projections, and unit economics that go into your pitch deck. We also prepare the data room documentation investors will request during due diligence.

Do you work with pre-revenue companies?

Absolutely. Pre-revenue is actually the best time to set up proper financial infrastructure. We help you project costs, establish burn rate targets, and prepare for your first revenue milestones.
