What is a Fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO is a senior financial leader who partners with your exec team part‑time to own strategy, lead execution through your internal/partner resources, and be accountable for financial outcomes (not busywork). They bring the same leadership you'd expect from a full‑time CFO—forecasting, capital allocation, investor relations, compliance—on a flexible, capital‑efficient basis.
What they focus on
- Financial planning & analysis (FP&A)
- Cash flow management & capital allocation
- Fundraising & investor relations
- Financial operations & systems architecture
- Unit economics, pricing models, and hiring your first key finance hires/advisor mix

When to hire a fractional CFO
Your revenue is growing, but cash management is getting complex and you need real financial discipline.
- You're preparing for your next funding round and need senior leadership to get your financial house in order and tell a compelling growth story.
- You're post-Series A and need to transition from startup accounting to scalable financial operations and reporting.
What does engagement look like?
Most companies start 1–2 days per week for the first 90 days to build the plan, then adjust as the engine hums. Common formats: retained days, sprint blocks, or outcome‑based scopes.
90‑Day deliverables typically include
- Financial diagnostic & cash runway analysis
- Board-ready financial reporting & KPIs
- Fundraising preparation & investor materials
- Budget planning & scenario modeling
- Finance team hiring roadmap and system recommendations

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an interim CFO and a fractional CFO?
An interim CFO steps in full-time to keep your books running when someone leaves. A fractional CFO is strategically part-time from day one, they're building your financial infrastructure, ownership of growth metrics, and long-term capital strategy as an embedded team member without the overhead of a permanent hire..
How quickly can we start?
Most clients meet shortlists within a week and kick off within days after selection (scope dependent).
Will they manage our finance team and systems?
Yes—fractional CFOs typically own the team roadmap, systems architecture, and first key finance hires, and set the reporting cadence that keeps everyone aligned on the numbers using proven playbooks from previous scaling experiences.
What if we outgrow the model?
Great. Your fractional CFO can help hire/transition a full‑time leader and leave a mature financial operation behind. Or if they fit the role, can transition into that position themselves.
