Fractional CFO
Fractional CFO Services for Founders and Owners
Senior financial guidance on a part-time basis. Forecasting, cash planning, pricing, and the decisions that come before growth.
What fractional CFO support covers
A fractional CFO gives you senior financial leadership without a full-time salary. The focus is the forward-looking side of your finances: cash flow, capital, margins, and planning for what's ahead.
We scope the work to the decisions actually in front of you, whether that's managing a cash crunch, preparing to raise money, pricing a new line, or building the forecast you need to grow with confidence.
Who it is for
- Founders approaching a growth, hiring, or funding decision
- Businesses with revenue but unpredictable cash
- Leadership teams without a finance lead
- Owners planning an acquisition, a raise, or an exit
What this fixes
- The business looks profitable, but cash is still tight month to month
- Prices have not been reviewed against what the work actually costs to deliver
- There is no forecast to check whether a new hire or a new location is affordable
- Reports explain what already happened, but not what to do next
What is included
- Cash flow forecasting and scenario modeling
- Budget development and variance review
- Pricing and margin analysis
- KPI reporting for the leadership team
- Lender and investor conversation support
- Recurring strategy sessions on a set cadence
