Fractional CFO Services without the full-time expense
Outsourced CFO support for growing US businesses: budgets, forecasts, cash flow management and financial reporting from an experienced finance team, part-time, instead of a full-time hire.
What a fractional CFO does for your business
A fractional CFO, also called an outsourced or virtual CFO, gives you senior financial leadership for part of the week or month. You get the planning and reporting a CFO provides, without paying for a full-time executive.
When to hire an outsourced CFO
- You are growing quickly and need a budget and forecast to plan hiring and spending.
- Cash is tight, or hard to predict from month to month.
- You are preparing to raise money or apply for a loan, and need reliable numbers.
- Your bookkeeping is in place, but nobody is turning the numbers into decisions.
CFO work builds on accurate books. If yours need work first, see our outsourced bookkeeping or QuickBooks cleanup services.
