frequently asked questions
A fractional CFO is a Chief Financial Officer who is contracted to provide financial leadership and oversight in a part-time capacity. I operate similarly to a full-time CFO by providing internal financial leadership (working with founder/CEO), financial expertise (working with banks), and financial credibility (working with investors). Because of my background in manufacturing and tech I bring a strong operational focus – so I’m really a Chief Financial and Operations Officer in one! I provide just the amount of help your company needs, whether that’s an ongoing part-time basis, or on a project basis to achieve specific goals.
Yes, of course! Think of me as your financial quarterback. I will work with your bookkeeper to streamline monthly accounting and make it as touchless/paperless as possible. In parallel, I will work with your CPA/tax preparer to ensure your ongoing accounting is optimized for tax savings.
I believe taxes are best left to the experts who know tax codes inside & out, and are well-versed in working with the IRS. While I don’t do taxes, I’m happy to refer you to someone who’s great.
That all depends on the level of support you need. Use the form below to contact me for a comprehensive proposal tailored to your needs. You can count on transparent and up-front pricing.
