What is a Fractional CFO? Overview
A Fractional CFO is a highly experienced Chief Financial Officer who works with businesses on a part-time basis, rather than as a full-time, in-house executive. This flexible model provides small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) access to top-tier financial expertise, without having to incur the cost of a full-time compensation package or commit to a long-term employee arrangement, along with the related employee liability risks.
Fractional CFOs are particularly valuable for businesses in periods of transition, such as when scaling up, entering new markets, preparing for funding, acquiring, integrating or divesting a business, or navigating economic headwinds. However, it’s not only businesses facing challenges that can benefit; those experiencing growth and strong performance can also leverage a fractional CFO’s expertise to optimize operations, pursue new opportunities, and sustain success.
