Happy Wednesday LinkedIn! You know what time it is... ⏳ …it's 5 o'clock somewhere 👍🏻 and we are a month away from beginning to think about closing the books on Q1... crazy, right? Here are a few things to keep in mind as we look ahead to Q2: 📌 Is your organization well-positioned at the leadership level to navigate through projects/initiatives/implementations that your firm is taking on? 📌Has your company gone through any restructuring that has left employees feeling under appreciated and unmotivated? 📌Do you run a start-up that is approaching $10M in revenue, but don't want to commit to hiring a full-time CFO? If any of these apply to you and your organization, please reach out to schedule a time to discuss the challenges and potential solutions available. #BuildingBoston DJ Mason Bryan Gilbert, MBA Samantha Gromoll Cameron Deegan Mollie Swanton Matthew Golladay Jack Visgilio Richard Hill Lenny Bourdeau Michael Smiley Chandler Bast Jake Bast Ryan Bengston Ryan Kalil Mike Burke Sarah Fisher Brad Kennedy William Hedgepeth David Bernagozzi

⚠️ Not all Fractional CFO’s are the same. I read an article recently written by a popular CFO firm. They were trying to make a case for why a firm is better than an independent Fractional CFO. Not surprisingly, they struggled to make the argument. Truth is, when selecting a Fractional CFO, branding is not as important as the individual you work with. Why? Simply put, you can’t train personality fit and several decades of experience. 👉 Those looking to hire a Fractional CFO should look at the prior experience and background of the individual before engaging with a Fractional CFO. ✅Do they have experience in your industry & size? ✅Have they held leadership roles in the past? Etc. My clients are often surprised that in addition to my technical skills, they receive 🔅insightful management and 🔅strategic business insights from me during our sessions. I didn’t gain these when I became a Fractional CFO. They came from years of experience as a CFO, managing a team, and leading the company. I ❤️ sharing these insights as part of what I do, and I believe they are a significant value 💰+ to my clients.

Bringing on your first CFO can be extremely exciting, and a strong hire can give your business a significant strategic edge. However, to make an effective hiring choice, you need to know what makes a great CFO. http://1sa.ge/6Bf350R9ocL

When hiring a CFO, evaluating their technical expertise, leadership capabilities, strategic vision, and alignment with your company's goals will deliver a leader that can support your business' long-term success.

Myth 2: A fractional CFO will not be as invested in my business as a full-time CFO. Reality: It comes down to the person, not the mode of employment. If your CFO, fractional or full-time, shares your values and vision, they will be your best ally. For a fractional CFO, your success is their success. It means continued, mutually beneficial relationships, potential for strong referrals and often friendships that last a lifetime. Fractional CFOs are often the safest choice when hiring for a full-time position. They already know your business inside and out and you already know their working style. Often, in a fractional CFO you find a trusted business advisor - someone you can lean on beyond the financial reporting and strategy. It's not the position. It's person. #fractionalcfo #finance #leadership
