CFO Services (Fractional / Virtual)

Fractional and virtual CFO leadership for growing B2B companies that need senior finance without a full-time hire.

Overview

What we deliver

We provide fractional CFO leadership covering strategic finance, fundraising, forecasting, and board reporting on a flexible engagement.

Our fractional CFO service places a senior finance leader inside your company on a part-time or virtual basis. We own the financial strategy, build the three-statement model, run the budgeting and forecasting cycle, and prepare board and investor materials. We sit in on management meetings, lead conversations with banks and lenders, and structure equity and debt fundraises. On the technical side, we ensure financials follow US GAAP, IFRS, or UK FRS 102, depending on the entity, and we coordinate audits with Big Four and regional firms. We work with HMRC, IRS, CRA, and ATO matters at the strategic level alongside your tax advisors. We help leadership teams make decisions on pricing, hiring, M&A, and capital allocation. The engagement scales up or down by hours each month, so you get senior judgment exactly when growth, fundraising, or transition calls for it without carrying a full-time salary.

Client stories

What clients say

"

Two weeks before our seed round we still did not have a defensible model. Their fractional CFO rebuilt our three-statement forecast, pressure-tested the assumptions, and walked me through every line before the partner meeting. We closed 1.4M on the terms we wanted. The investor specifically called out how clean the financials looked compared to the last five decks she had seen.

Our SDRs were spending two hours a day copying lead data between Salesforce, Outreach, and a Google Sheet nobody owned. They mapped the whole flow, stitched it together in n8n, and added a dedupe step we did not even know we needed. Got 38 hours a week back across the team. The SDRs were the ones who pushed to expand it further.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most.

How is this different from a full-time CFO?
You get senior judgment on a fractional schedule, typically 20 to 60 hours per month, without the full salary, benefits, or equity load.
Can you help us raise capital?
Yes, we build the model, prepare the data room, coach the management team, and sit in on lender and investor conversations.
Do you replace our bookkeeper or controller?
No, we work alongside them or recommend strengthening that layer. CFO work focuses on strategy, forecasting, and board level reporting.
Which accounting frameworks do you cover?
US GAAP, IFRS, and UK FRS 102. We coordinate with your audit firm on technical positions.
How fast can you start?
We typically begin within two weeks of signed engagement, starting with diagnostic and access setup.
