Fractional CFO Services for Small & Medium Businesses

Fractional CFO Services

Strategic financial leadership without the full-time cost.

Most business owners don’t wake up thinking about cash flow, reports, or financial strategy — but they do feel the stress when the dollars don’t line up. A Fractional CFO brings clarity, calm, and direction so you can grow your business with confidence.

If you’re running a small or medium-sized business and want stronger margins, better financial control, and support to scale, a Fractional CFO is one of the smartest investments you can make.

If your business is turning over $1M–$20M and needs deeper financial insight, structure, and strategic direction, this service helps you build a more profitable, valuable, and scalable business model.

What Problems Does a Fractional CFO Solve?

Many SME owners experience:

• Cash flow that feels unpredictable

• Profit that is inconsistent — even with good sales

• No clear financial direction for the next 12–36 months

• An owner carrying too much of the financial responsibility

• No internal financial expertise to guide decision-making

• Late, unclear, or unhelpful reporting

• Growth that’s happening without structure

• A business that feels “too big” for bookkeeping but “not big enough” for a full-time CFO

A Fractional CFO provides the financial leadership needed to move from “hoping it works” to “knowing it will.”

What a Fractional CFO Actually Does

Who This Service Is Best For

Businesses that are:

• Turning over $1M–$20M

• Wanting sustainable, structured growth

• Feeling stretched or overwhelmed with financial management

• Needing stronger financial systems, reporting, and direction

If you’re not ready for a full-time CFO, but you’ve outgrown basic bookkeeping and compliance, this service is designed for you.

Our Approach (Simple, Clear, Practical)

1. Understand your business — how it works, where the pressure points are, and what success looks like.

2. Design the financial plan — budgets, forecasts, cash flow, pricing, margins, and strategy.

3. Strengthen systems and reporting — clean, timely numbers you can rely on.

4. Ongoing advisory support — monthly, fortnightly, or tailored to your needs.

Every step is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and control — and a stronger, more scalable business model.
