Fractional Glossary Terms

frak-shuh-nl cheef fye-nan-shul of-uh-ser (noun)

A Fractional CFO is a senior finance executive hired on a part-time or contract basis to lead the financial strategy of a business — without the cost or commitment of a full-time appointment.

They own the numbers that matter: cash flow, forecasting, fundraising readiness, board reporting, and financial infrastructure. The kind of executive who can walk into a Series A and walk out with a clean cap table.

Most growing businesses don't need a full-time CFO — they need the right financial brain at the right moments. A Fractional CFO gives you exactly that: senior-level finance leadership that scales with your stage, not your payroll.

Think: your CFO. Just not every day.
