Questions we hear
Finance Manager or CFO: which comes first?

If finance itself isn't under control, a Finance Manager usually comes first. If finance runs well but decisions need forward-looking thinking, a Fractional CFO may be the right next step. Some businesses need both.

How much time does a Fractional CFO spend with us?

That's designed around your needs: part-time, a defined share, a project, interim or ongoing.

Will the CFO also do day-to-day accounting?

No. The CFO works at leadership level, supported by your Business Accountant, the team and the Finance Manager, so senior time goes to senior questions.

Don't hire a title. Build the capability.
