Thank you to Elisabeth Sabin, CPA for this question - From talking to 100 people, why do you think so many want or are thinking about transitioning (to becoming a fractional CFO)? I would put them in 2 categories - reactive and proactive. The reactive reasons include: * My company was just acquired, and as CFO, I can see the handwriting on the wall that they will no longer need me for much longer * My company is not doing well and I'm looking at other options before the ship sinks * I just lost my job, I'm looking for a new one, and I see that being a fractional CFO allows me to not have to move to a new city Proactive reasons include: * I'm bored and looking for a challenge * I'm late in my career and thinking about retirement, and think this would be a great career to transition into retirement * I'm tired of working for someone else and want to have more control of what I do for a living On a few occasions I talk with someone who has a vision to start a fractional CFO firm and scale it to a large size. The entrepreneurial option. But in my conversations, this is less common for those on the outside looking in - and more common for someone who has been a fractional CFO for at least a year or two. As a reminder, I'm offering on-line coaching for those of you considering being a fractional CFO and want some advice on whether you are on the right track and how to start.

Keefe, CFA and Jacob Indursky of Citywire discuss the latest executive leadership enhancements at the firm and how new CFO Timothy Bowman, CPA will play a strategic role in future growth. ‘He’s incredibly talented and experienced as it relates to all the things that I need and the firm needs on the finance side because it is such a complex kind of business," Kevin told the publication. "His experience in growing firms is also really attractive and it was something that was like, Man, this is this could be a very exciting partnership."

I kinda owe an apology to the Fractional CFO community. Yesterday, I wrote a post that I'm irked when Fractional CFOs market themselves as "helping you grow your business." No, they don't, Marketing and Sales do that. CFOs help make financially prudent decisions that lead to more profit, more cash and more peace of mind, not more sales. Some commenters have pointed to some technical areas where a CFO can play a role in fueling growth.. Like pointing out products or services that sell better than others based on sales data, or optimizing sales rep commission agreements. And others have pointed to the financing and budgets that is needed to grow a business. All true, but I think these are all technical in nature and don't really reflect the profession as a whole. But here is why I think GREAT Fractional CFOs, not only help, but are instrumental in business growth. 🔥 Great FCFOs provide 'financial clarity' that motivates to become bigger and better. 🔥 Great FCFOs provide 'executive leadership' that leads a company in an upward direction. 🔥 Great FCFOs provide 'executive accountability' that keeps the company focused on an upward trajectory. 👉 So do great FCFO help grow your business? You bet they do. Link to the previous post in the comments

Decisions are hard. No one wants to make the wrong decision. But you know what's worse then a bad decision? No decision. Bad decisions are still you taking action, and will lead to more action. No Decisions. You are standing still. Don't stand still. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Jeffrey Johnson. I am a Fractional CFO..I am here to help your business grow profitably, while still maintaining positive cash flow.
