A fractional CFO is an experienced financial executive who works with your business on a part-time or project basis, typically 10–40 hours per month. Unlike a full-time CFO, you share the cost across engagements while still getting senior-level financial expertise and strategy.
Businesses typically need a fractional CFO when preparing for fundraising, experiencing rapid growth that outpaces bookkeeping capabilities, preparing for an exit or acquisition, needing investor-ready financial models, or when cash flow management requires senior-level oversight.
Finsmart CFOs are ex-Big 4 trained and CPA/CA qualified with deep experience across industries. Backed by a full 3-tier support team (Account Manager, Engagement Manager and Senior Accounting Advisor) at no extra cost. Engagement starts quickly and is tailored to your business stage.
