A Fractional CFO gives you board-level financial expertise without the full-time headcount. We turn numbers into decisions, clarifying your pricing, margins and investment priorities so you can make decisions based on timely data and scale with confidence.
We build a finance system with rolling budgets, forecasts and cashflow; clear board packs with commentary; tight financial controls and policy; and clean month-end reporting.
Ideal for scaling SMEs, CLGs/member organisations and funded startups.
How a CFO Benefits Your Organisation
- Clarity: Translate numbers into decisions—runway, margins, ROI, unit economics.
- Control: Strong financial controls, approval limits, and clean audit trails.
- Cash: Forecast cash needs early; plan funding and timing (debt, grants, sponsorship).
- Compliance: Stay ahead of CRO/RBO/Revenue filings and governance policy.
- Confidence: Board-ready packs with risks, options and recommended actions.
Who Should Have a CFO?
You’ll benefit most if any of these apply:
- Revenue scaling (typically €1–€20m), or material grant/sponsorship income
- Multiple projects/events, recurring memberships or complex cash cycles
- Board, investors, or funders expect formal governance & regular reporting
- International activity (VAT, FX, cross-border tax) or regulated environment
- Rapid hiring or shifting from contractor to employee model
- Need to design & enforce decision thresholds and financial controls
Signals You’re Ready
- Monthly reporting is slow, inconsistent or backward-looking
- No single source of truth for budget vs. actual vs. forecast
- Cash surprises; unclear runway or funding plan
- Board meetings focus on spreadsheets, not decisions
- Audit readiness or due diligence feels risky
Fractional vs. Full-Time
- Right-sized: Senior expertise 1–4 days/month instead of a full salary
- Paced: Scale support up/down as complexity changes
- Independent: Objective challenge and best-practice rollout
