Fractional CFO

FLO Growth Partners places experienced finance operators inside founder-led, middle-market companies typically generating between $5M and $150M in revenue. As a Fractional CFO, you will carry responsibility across multiple client engagements simultaneously, tackling common challenges such as unpredictable cash, slow month-end close, and inconsistent reporting.

The role follows the FLO Method: a structured approach covering an initial diagnostic scan, a prioritised 90-day plan, installation of a weekly operating rhythm, and hands-on execution alongside the client team. FLO backs each CFO with controllers and accountants, allowing you to remain at a strategic level. Engagements begin on a 1099 basis and are assessed for W-2 status at six months, with access to a 401(k) match for W-2 team members.
