Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fractional CFO and how is it different from a full-time CFO?
A fractional CFO provides the same strategic financial leadership as a full-time Chief Financial Officer but works with your business on a part-time, retained, or project basis. You benefit from senior-level expertise in financial reporting, forecasting, and controls without the cost of a permanent executive hire.
What size of business is a fractional CFO suitable for?
Fractional CFO services are ideal for SMEs, owner-managed businesses, startups, and growing companies that need senior financial leadership but are not yet at the stage to justify a full-time CFO. It is also well-suited to businesses preparing for investment, audit, or significant financial restructuring.
What does a fractional CFO actually do day to day?
Day-to-day activities include overseeing financial reporting and management accounts, building cashflow models and forecasts, designing or improving finance controls, preparing board-ready financial packs, and advising on financial strategy — all tailored to your business needs.
How does fractional CFO pricing work?
Fractional CFO engagements are typically structured on a monthly retainer or project fee basis. This is significantly more cost-effective than employing a full-time CFO, whose salary, pension, and associated costs can exceed £150,000 per year for experienced candidates.
