Too Big to
Wing It.

Too Small for
a CFO.

$380K MONTHLY BURN
23:47:18 PST

Every founder knows this moment: You're staring at your burn rate at 11pm, making $10M decisions with Excel and instinct. Your board wants CFO-level thinking. Your budget wants you to wait until Series B.

There's a better way.

You Need Strategic Finance Help, But a $400k Hire Feels Insane

Because it is.

Most startups don't need a full-time CFO at $400K plus equity. But they do need someone who understands:

  • That reducing CAC by 20% might hurt if it extends sales cycles by 40%
  • Why that "safe" hire at 80% market rate often costs more than the A-player at 120%
Bessemer's portfolio data proves it: Companies with dedicated financial strategy grow 2.5× faster.

But that doesn't mean you need to blow up your org chart.

Get strategic finance without the overhead.

Pattern Recognition Section
Pattern Recognition, Elevated

Perfect Books. Zero Answers.

Bookkeeping is hygiene. Clean books make sure the numbers are right.
Accounting is narrative. Analysis turns data into context, patterns, and credible reporting.
Finance is strategy. Forecasting, trade-offs, and capital allocation shape what comes next.

All-In During Crunch Time,
On-Demand Otherwise

  • Investor deck due tomorrow? Cash runway dropping faster than expected?
  • Your fractional CFO is built for crunch moments, but doesn't sit idle on your payroll otherwise.
  • You get expertise exactly when the stakes are highest.
When things are quiet? We're a message away, reviewing your monthly numbers, flagging what matters, ignoring what doesn't.

Your needs aren't linear. Your CFO support shouldn't be either.

Strategic Finance, Without the Full-Time Weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with a fractional CFO and how we can accelerate your financial strategy.

What exactly does a fractional CFO do?+
A fractional CFO provides high-level financial strategy, planning, and leadership on a part-time basis. Think of us as your senior financial executive who focuses on the big picture—fundraising strategy, investor relations, financial modeling, and growth planning—without the full-time commitment.
How is this different from our current bookkeeper or accountant?+
Bookkeepers handle transactions and compliance. Fractional CFOs handle strategy and growth. We work above the day-to-day to help you make the financial decisions that will define your company's future.
When should we hire a fractional CFO?+
The best time is before you think you need one. Common triggers include: preparing for fundraising, scaling rapidly, planning major strategic initiatives, needing better financial visibility, or preparing for exit events.
Can you work with our existing accounting team?+
Absolutely. We often complement existing finance functions, providing strategic leadership while your team handles day-to-day operations. We can also provide a complete finance solution if preferred.
How do you price fractional CFO services?+
Our engagements are customized based on your specific needs, business complexity, and engagement scope. We create packages designed to maximize your ROI.
What's included in a typical engagement?+
Every engagement is tailored, but typically includes: financial modeling and forecasting, board/investor reporting, strategic planning sessions, cash flow management, fundraising support, and ongoing advisory access.
