What is the difference between a CFO and a Controller?
While a Controller is focused on the
What does "Fractional" actually mean?
“Fractional” simply means you get the expertise of a high-level executive without the full-time salary. A seasoned CFO typically commands a six-figure salary that is out of reach for many mid-sized businesses. Our model allows you to hire a CFO for a fraction of the time (and cost), giving you elite guidance exactly when you need it.
How do I know if my business is ready for a CFO?
You are likely ready if you are generating significant revenue (often $1M to $10M+) but feel stuck. Signs include: you are profitable but have no cash, you are nervous about making big hiring or expansion decisions, or you are preparing to raise capital. If your questions have shifted from “How do I pay this bill?” to “How do I double my growth?”, you need a CFO.
Do you help with exit strategies or selling a business?
Absolutely. If your goal is to sell your business in the next 3-5 years, you need to start preparing now. We help you clean up your financials, improve your EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), and structure your operations to maximize your valuation so you don’t leave money on the table when you exit.
Is hiring a Fractional CFO worth the investment?
We view our services as a profit center, not a cost center. By identifying inefficient spending, optimizing pricing models, and preventing costly strategic mistakes, a CFO often pays for themselves many times over. We provide the financial discipline required to scale from a small business into a major enterprise.
