I often get asked, "What exactly is a fractional CFO?" Many aren't familiar with the term "fractional" so let me clarify Think of a fractional CFO as a part-time CFO This means getting access to expert executive talent without the full-time hire cost Instead of paying $250K++ for a full-time CFO, you pay only a fraction of that cost for the support you need, when you need it This approach offers the flexibility to scale services up or down based on your business's evolving needs It's ideal for smaller, growing businesses seeking expert financial guidance without committing to a full-time executive

When you're looking for a Fractional CFO, keep in mind that a good one is not just taking care of your financial strategy. They should also be a matchmaker. They need to be able to bring together ideas, people, and resources. Remember that everything you do in your business ends up in your finances. And since every action impacts your financials, you’ve got to handle all the other stuff well: Ops, Marketing, Sales, HR... While Fractional CFOs can’t handle all these different areas - it’s not our expertise - the good ones are able to connect the dots, see how they impact the business as a whole, and can connect you with the people who can help. My advice when you're evaluating who to hire for this role: 1 - probe them about their thinking and see how holistically they think about the business   2 - ask them about the network of people they keep company with #financialpuzzlessolved #fractionalcfo #finance

Hiring a full-time CFO is NOT the best decision for most businesses. You think CFO and you picture someone in the office each day poring over spreadsheets - but that level of support just isn't practical for most growing companies. However... Having someone passionate about finding efficiencies in your business can pay for themselves very quickly. If you do not have the numbers available, how can you expect to make the best decision for your business? From marketing, sales, product line, suppliers, and operations. Whether it is accurately budgeting your CapEx or finding unprofitable marketing channels. No business function is immune to needing efficiencies. But here is the good news. You don't need a full-time CFO at $300K/yr (25k/m) You can unlock 80% of the value of a full-time CFO for 20% of the cost with a fractional CFO service. (starting at 5k/m)
