CFO and advisory FAQ

Q.What does a fractional CFO do?+

They handle forecasting, cash, budgeting, fundraising support, and the big financial decisions, on a part-time basis.

Q.How often will we meet?+

Usually monthly for a full review, with your CFO on call for major decisions in between.

Q.Can you help us raise?+

Yes. We build the model, prepare the data room, and support you through diligence and, if needed, an acquisition.

Q.Do I need clean books first?+

It helps a lot. The service works best on top of Monthly Bookkeeping, but we can start either way.

Q.How is this different from a bookkeeper?+

A bookkeeper records what happened. A CFO plans what happens next and helps you decide.
