Growing businesses reach a point where the finance function needs to do more than close the books - it needs to actively support commercial decisions, manage investor and lender relationships, and build the infrastructure for the next stage of growth. A full-time CFO hire is often premature at this stage. Fractional CFO engagement gives you senior financial leadership on a part-time basis: strategic oversight, investor-ready reporting, and the operational finance discipline your business needs to scale - without the cost of a full-time appointment.

What this involves

  • Design and implementation of KPI frameworks connecting operational metrics to financial outcomes
  • Build or redesign of investor-ready reporting: board packs, lender reporting, and management accounts
  • Cash flow modelling and financial planning support for growth, capital raises, or acquisitions
  • Finance team coaching and development - building capability alongside delivering results
  • Ongoing strategic finance support structured around your specific stage and circumstances

Who this is for

Businesses that have outgrown their current finance capability but aren't yet ready - or aren't yet able - to hire a full-time CFO. Particularly relevant for founder-led businesses preparing for a funding round, businesses approaching their first external audit, or organisations navigating significant growth or operational change where strategic finance input is needed on a regular basis.
