Fincent partners with Shiny— specialized talent platform for Fractional CFOs

An entrepreneurial revolution is underway! C-level executives are no longer tied to a single business. Today, they can work with multiple organizations as part-time or “fractional” C-level executives.

The fractional model is a win-win for executives and the businesses they work with— Startups now have access to C-level talent and expertise while executives gain freedom and flexibility by working with multiple businesses.

The Fincent team is proud to announce an exclusive partnership with (link: https://useshiny.com/ text: Shiny), the leading marketplace for fractional CFOs, CTOs, and other C-level executives. The partnership between Fincent and Shiny will benefit CFOs who want to move away from full-time jobs and step into the fractional world to work with multiple dynamic startups.

The partnership unlocks a suite of bookkeeping and accounting offerings for a fractional CFO's clients. Fincent offers CFOs round-the-clock access to an AI-powered platform and a dedicated team of bookkeepers.

Together, Shiny will connect fractional CFOs to the top startups in the industry and then Fincent’s financial platform and service will enable both the fractional CFO’s and the startups’ success.

Fractional CFOs and their role in startups

Many CFOs would love to work at young, dynamic startups. But most startups cannot afford an experienced and skilled CFO. But they can afford a fraction of their time.

Enter Fractional CFOs.

A fractional CFO is a CFO who has divided their time between multiple organizations and their role at startups typically includes-

• Financial forecasting and modeling
• Mitigating risks & recognizing opportunities well in advance.
• Raising capital to invest in product development or expansion.
• Devising both short and long-term strategies to save money via building or re-working a financial model or user interface in double quick time.
• Taking ownership of specific business functions and/or their corresponding activities.
• Analyzing whether startups can hire more talent or invest in a new line of business
