Fractional Chief Financial Officer Services

As businesses grow, their financial complexities increase, often surpassing the capabilities of basic accounting or internal financial management. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with revenues between $1 million and $10 million, this can signal the need for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO). A CFO brings strategic financial oversight, helping manage growth, optimize cash flow, and prepare for fundraising or investor relations. However, many SMEs may not require a full-time CFO and can benefit from the cost-effective, flexible solution of hiring a fractional CFO.
