Frequently Asked Questions
How is a fractional CFO different from a bookkeeper or accountant?

How much time will a fractional CFO spend with my business?
It varies based on your needs—typically 1-4 days per month for small businesses, adjustable as needs change.
Can a fractional CFO help with raising capital?
Absolutely. Our CFOs have helped clients secure millions in funding through improved financial modeling, pitch deck creation, and investor negotiations.
