Fractional CFO
Senior financial leadership.
Without the full-time cost.
You don't need a $300k/year CFO to have CFO-level financial management. You need an experienced advisor who is genuinely invested in your company's financial health — and accountable for results.
What's included
Our fractional CFO service provides embedded senior financial leadership tailored to where you are in your company's growth. We are not a reporting service — we are an active participant in your financial decision-making.
Every engagement begins with a diagnostic: we review your existing financials, chart of accounts, reporting cadence, and investor expectations. From there, we design a finance function that serves your actual needs — not a template.
We own the monthly reporting cycle, maintain your financial model, and show up for every board meeting prepared. When you need us for something specific — a funding round, a term sheet negotiation, a down round scenario analysis — we are available.
Who this is for
Post-seed to Series B companies with US investors or US revenue who need senior financial oversight but are not yet at the stage where a full-time CFO hire is justified. Also companies in active fundraising who need investor-ready financials, models, and a credible finance voice in the room.
We work particularly well with cross-border companies — India, UAE, Singapore, UK-based founders with US operations — where the CFO needs to understand both the US financial reporting environment and the nuances of operating across jurisdictions.
Frequently asked questions
The day-to-day varies by engagement, but core responsibilities typically include: maintaining the financial model and updating it with actuals each month, preparing board and investor reporting packages, managing the month-end close in coordination with your bookkeeper, tracking runway and flagging risks early, supporting fundraising due diligence, and advising founders on financial decisions as they come up. You get a senior finance professional who is embedded in your business — not someone who shows up once a quarter.
A bookkeeper records what happened. An accountant ensures it was recorded correctly and files your taxes. A CFO interprets the numbers, tells you what they mean for the business, and helps you make better decisions because of them. We often work alongside your existing bookkeeper — or we can provide bookkeeping as part of a combined engagement.
Typically, the need arises when you have US investors (who expect board-level financial reporting), meaningful US revenue (which creates accounting and tax complexity), or when you are actively fundraising and need models and data rooms prepared to a professional standard. Pre-seed companies rarely need this. Post-seed companies almost always do.
It depends entirely on your needs. Early-stage companies with straightforward financials often need 8–12 hours per month. Companies in active fundraising or with complex reporting requirements may need 20–30 hours. We scope the engagement during the discovery call and agree on hours and deliverables upfront.
Yes. We regularly present in board meetings, participate in investor calls, and support due diligence processes. When you need a CFO-level voice in the room, we can be that voice — with the financial credibility to back it up.
