What is a Fractional CFO?

A fractional CFO is a part-time Chief Financial Officer who provides high-level financial strategy and oversight without the cost of a full-time executive.

This allows businesses, especially startups and SMEs, to access expert financial planning, cash flow management, fundraising support, and data-driven decision-making at a fraction of the cost.
