Hire a Fractional CFO: Financial Leadership Without the Full-Time Cost

Get board-ready financials, real cash flow visibility, and fundraising strategy  without the $300K salary. A Fractional CFO brings institutional-grade finance leadership to your business on a flexible schedule.

Is This You?

Signs You Need a Fractional CFO

No Cash Flow Visibility

You don't know your burn rate, runway, or when you'll run out of money. Financial decisions get made on gut instead of data.

Fundraise Is on the Horizon

Investors need clean books, financial models, and a CFO narrative. Showing up without them kills deals before they start.

Reporting Is Ad Hoc

Month-end financials take days, if they happen at all. No P&L rhythm, no board package, no benchmark tracking.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Fractional CFO engagements typically range from $4,000–$12,000 per month depending on hours and scope. This is 10–20% of a full-time CFO’s total compensation, with no benefits, equity, or long-term commitment required.

If you’re under $10M ARR or pre-Series B, a fractional CFO is almost always the right move. You get senior finance leadership at a fraction of the cost. As you scale past Series B or need a CFO in the room daily, transitioning to full-time makes sense.

Fractional CFOs work across SaaS, services, e-commerce, healthcare, and professional firms. The model fits any business where financial leadership matters but can’t yet justify a $250K+ salary.

Monthly P&L and cash flow reports, rolling financial forecasts, board-ready packages, unit economics analysis, fundraising models, and audit readiness. Scope is defined at engagement start and adjusted each quarter.

Most Fractional CFO engagements run 2–4 days per month. Your CFO is accessible by Slack and email, attends key leadership meetings, and delivers defined monthly outputs. Engagements typically start with a 90-day sprint.
