Senior finance leadership on a fractional basis, for businesses that need the judgement before they need the headcount.
Overview
Many businesses reach the point of needing CFO-level judgement well before they can justify a full-time CFO. A fractional arrangement gives the board a senior finance voice in the room - for reporting discipline, lender and investor conversations, and the decisions that are hard to reverse - scaled to what the business actually requires.
What this covers
Ongoing senior finance leadership at an agreed engagement level.
Reporting packs, board papers and investor updates.
Treasury planning, runway monitoring and covenant tracking.
Team structure, systems selection and process design.
Annual budgets, rolling forecasts and variance reporting.
Accounting-system implementation and reporting automation.

Common questions
Engagements are typically structured around an agreed time commitment and a defined scope - for example a monthly reporting cycle, board attendance and specified advisory areas - reviewed periodically as the business changes. The right structure depends on the organisation's stage and existing finance team.
