Fractional CFO for startups

A fractional CFO gives a seed to Series B startup senior finance leadership for a fixed monthly fee instead of a full-time salary. We build and maintain your financial model, track burn and runway, prepare board and investor updates, support fundraising and due diligence, and keep the books audit-ready.

Answers

Common questions

When does a startup need a fractional CFO?

Usually before a fundraise, when investors ask for monthly reporting, or when burn and runway decisions start to need more than a spreadsheet.

What does a fractional CFO cost?

Most US startups pay $1,500โ€“5,000 a month depending on stage, complexity and how much CFO time they need.

Fractional CFO or full-time CFO?

A full-time CFO usually makes sense from Series B or C. Before that, a fractional CFO gives the same planning and reporting at a fraction of the cost.

Do you also keep the books?

Yes, or we oversee your existing bookkeeper so the numbers are clean for investors.

Can you help with due diligence?

Yes. We prepare the data room, reconcile the numbers investors test, and answer finance diligence questions.
