Too often I’ve observed firsthand the negative results when small and medium sized business owners’ have administrative staff capable of handling the day-today running of the business but don’t have the experience or time to implement those big initiatives, provide “big picture” financial insights, or produce timely and accurate financials. Yet I understand these owners. Who can afford an experienced, full-time CFO and keep them busy at a high level? A temp service seems so….well temporary; never really learning my business.

A Fractional CFO is a part-time or temporary CFO for small and medium sized companies. It is a cost-effective way for smaller businesses to obtain high-level professional financial, accounting and strategic advice and assistance in a budget friendly way. Fractional CFO’s will typically focus on a specific area of a business that needs attention but which the current staff doesn’t have the experience or time to tackle. Alternately, a Fractional CFO may have a more ongoing relationship with the CEO, providing ongoing strategic insights and advice.

Many times, one of the first things an owner will say to me is “I don’t know what I don’t know”. As a Fractional CFO it is my job to help the owner understand their business in new ways.

My emphasis is in mentoring and training your current accounting team so that as your business grows your key staff are growing with it.

As a Fractional CFO my ultimate goal is to make your business, the owner and the staff scalable.
