Common questions
What does a fractional CFO do?
Leads financial planning, cash management, pricing and investment decisions part-time, often alongside an existing bookkeeper or controller.
What is a business case with NPV and IRR?
A financial model of an initiative showing its net present value, internal rate of return and payback period, so you can compare and fund the best ones.
Do I need a CFO if I have a bookkeeper?
A bookkeeper records the past; a CFO plans the future. Many growing companies need both.
