Why Hire a Fractional CFO

A fractional CFO gives your business access to high-level financial expertise without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive. Whether you're managing growth, raising capital, or tightening controls, a fractional CFO delivers strategic insight, discipline, and structure—on your terms and timeline.

What Is a Fractional CFO?

A fractional CFO is a senior finance professional who works with your business part-time or on a project basis. They provide executive-level leadership across financial planning, cash management, fundraising, reporting, and strategy—typically supported by a larger finance team or internal resources.

Who Needs a Fractional CFO?

  • Early-stage startups

  • Growth-stage businesses

  • Companies in transition

  • Founder-led teams

  • Private equity-backed businesses

  • Organizations approaching audit, board, or investor scrutiny

When Should You Bring One In?

Hiring a fractional CFO is ideal when:

  • You’re raising funding and need a financial model or investor-ready reports

  • Your cash flow is unpredictable or unclear

  • You’re growing rapidly without a financial strategy

  • Your board or investors need better reporting

  • You want executive support but not full-time expense

  • You’re planning an acquisition, exit, or audit

What a Fractional CFO Brings to the Table

Strategic Financial Leadership

They translate your business goals into financial plans, forecasts, and priorities—connecting vision to numbers.

Cash Flow Management

From burn rate tracking to cash runway analysis, they ensure liquidity is always in focus.

Fundraising Support

They prepare investor-ready financials, build models, and support you through diligence and negotiations.

Financial Reporting & KPIs

They implement structured, GAAP-compliant reporting and dashboards for internal and external stakeholders.

Forecasting & Budgeting

They build dynamic models that guide hiring, spending, and scenario planning as your business grows.

Systems & Controls

They help implement tools, streamline workflows, and strengthen internal controls to support scale.

Why It’s Cost-Effective

A full-time CFO can cost £150k–£300k+ annually, plus benefits. Fractional CFOs offer flexible engagement—typically a fraction of the cost—while still delivering the strategy, oversight, and accountability needed to support serious growth.
