Board-level financial leadership, without a full-time salary.
We embed as your fractional CFO — owning cash flow, funding strategy, investor reporting and financial planning — on terms scaled to a growing business, not a listed company.
What we're usually called in to fix.
The gap is rarely effort — it's structure.
A permanent CFO hire is a significant fixed cost, and the wrong hire is expensive to unwind.
Part-time internal finance leadership often lacks the breadth of experience larger transactions require.
Founders end up serving as their own CFO, at the cost of time spent on the business itself.
How we think about this problem.
We embed as your fractional CFO — attending leadership meetings, owning the financial narrative, and driving cash flow, planning and reporting discipline — on a scope and cost structured for a growing business rather than a listed company.
A structured, four-stage process.
Financial Health Assessment
We review your current financial position, systems and reporting maturity to set an initial priority list.
Strategic Planning
Cash flow forecasting, budgeting and scenario planning are established or refined to support decision-making.
Ongoing Leadership
We attend leadership and board meetings, own investor and lender communication, and provide senior financial judgment on demand.
Scaling the Engagement
Scope adjusts as the business grows — from a few days a month to a near-full-time presence during fundraising or transactions.
What lands in your hands.
Your systems, not a forced migration.
We work inside the platforms you already run — no forced migration to a proprietary system.
What changes once this is running.
Senior financial leadership at a fraction of a permanent hire's cost
Stronger cash flow visibility and planning discipline
A credible financial voice in fundraising and lender conversations
Flexibility to scale support up or down as circumstances change
Built for how your sector actually operates.
Common questions on contractual cfo.
Scope is agreed case by case — light-touch engagements run a few days a month, while fundraising or transaction periods often require near-full-time involvement.
Yes, where required — direct participation in leadership and board meetings is central to how the engagement works.
Yes — many engagements scale up temporarily around a raise, acquisition or lender negotiation, then return to standard scope.
No — we work alongside your existing team, providing senior leadership and judgment rather than transactional processing.
