No obligation · 30-minute call · Response within 24 business hours

This service is built for you if…

  • You're generating revenue but don't have senior finance leadership guiding decisions
  • Cash flow visibility is reactive rather than planned, and surprises keep showing up
  • You're preparing for a fundraise or bank facility and need investor-grade reporting
  • A full-time CFO isn't justified yet, but ad-hoc bookkeeping support isn't enough either

The Problem We Solve

Between bookkeeping and a full-time CFO sits a gap where most growing businesses lose control of their numbers.

01

Financial reporting that arrives too late, or in a format the founder can't act on

02

No structured cash flow forecasting, leading to avoidable liquidity crunches

03

Board or investor reporting prepared ad-hoc, without a consistent finance narrative

04

Growth decisions — hiring, pricing, expansion — made without a clear view of unit economics

Fractional CFO Questions, Answered

How many days per month does a Fractional CFO typically work?

Engagements are scoped to your needs — typically ranging from 2 to 8 days per month, and can flex up during a fundraise, audit or year-end close.

Is Fractional CFO support only for startups?

No. We support businesses across stages — from funded startups to established SMEs that need senior finance oversight without a full-time executive hire.

Can the Fractional CFO support an active fundraise?

Yes — this is one of the most common reasons clients engage us, often alongside our Capital Raising and Financial Modelling services.

Do you replace our existing accountant or bookkeeper?

No — we typically work alongside your existing accounting function, providing the strategic and reporting layer on top of day-to-day bookkeeping.

How quickly can a Fractional CFO engagement start?

Most engagements can begin within 1–2 weeks of scoping, depending on onboarding and access to your existing financial systems.
