What is a fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO is an experienced financial executive who provides part-time financial leadership. They deliver financial expertise and strategic financial planning tailored to your business needs without the cost of a full-time CFO. Unlike consultants who only advise, fractional CFOs roll up their sleeves, actively manage financial operations, help with cash flow management, and guide your business through growth and fundraising.
Fractional CFO vs. Traditional Accountant: What’s the difference?
Accountants very rarely have commercial exposure working alongside a CEO. They will be able to provide an update on your tax position but usually are not usually equipped to support with commercial activity such as improving cash flow or profitability.
A fractional CFO is embedded within your business and on the journey with you, often acting as a sounding board for the business owner.
Can a fractional CFO work alongside my finance director or CFO?
Yes. Many of our CFOs work closely with in-house finance directors, providing specialist expertise in areas such as risk management, funding strategies, or preparing for an exit. We help your finance function achieve even more. We also help support existing CFOs within businesses who may need help to cover a project or just to share their workload – please see our CFOs CFO page.
How quickly can a fractional CFO start working with my business?
Most fractional CFOs can begin working within a few days to a couple of weeks after the onboarding process. This process includes understanding your business needs, reviewing existing systems, meeting key stakeholders, and setting clear financial goals to ensure immediate and effective support.
What are the business benefits of hiring a fractional CFO?
Hiring a fractional CFO provides access to extensive experience and fresh perspectives from multiple companies and industries. They deliver strategic financial planning, improve cash flow management, enhance financial reporting, and support fundraising efforts. This strategic support helps businesses manage future challenges, scale operations, and achieve sustainable business growth without the overhead of a full-time CFO.
What roles and responsibilities do a fractional CFO handle?
A fractional CFO provides strategic financial leadership, including financial strategy development, cash flow management, profit improvement, financial reporting, and forecasting. They act as a strategic sounding board for leadership teams, assist in fundraising support and due diligence, and help build scalable finance functions with the right mix of people, tools, and workflows. They also enhance credibility with auditors, lenders, and investors.
