What is Fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO (also called an outsourced CFO or virtual CFO) is an experienced Chief Financial Officer who works with your business on a part-time, retainer, or project basis, rather than as a full-time employee. You get access to senior-level financial expertise, strategic guidance, and hands-on execution at a cost that scales with your business.
A fractional CFO typically handles financial strategy and planning, cash flow management, board and investor reporting, capital raising support, finance team leadership, and KPI framework design. They attend board meetings, work with your leadership team, and act as a genuine business partner, not just a consultant who delivers a report and disappears.
- Monthly management accounts with written commentary.
- Board and investor reporting packages.

- Cash flow forecasting and scenario planning.
- Capital raising and funding support.

“You don’t need a full-time CFO to think like one.”

An accountant primarily handles compliance, tax returns, BAS lodgements, and bookkeeping. A CFO is a strategic financial leader who drives business strategy, manages cash flow, prepares investor-grade reporting, and sits in board meetings. A fractional CFO provides CFO-level leadership without the full-time cost, and is typically engaged in addition to (not instead of) an accountant.
A small business should consider hiring a fractional CFO when annual revenue exceeds $1.5M to $3M and the financial complexity exceeds what a bookkeeper or general accountant can manage, or when preparing for a capital raise, acquisition, or exit. Other triggers include cash flow crises, rapid growth, or the need for board-ready financial reporting.
Yes. Capital raising is one of the most common reasons SMEs engage a fractional CFO. A CFO can build the financial model, prepare the information memorandum, design and manage the data room, present to investors, and negotiate term sheets, all of which are critical to a successful raise.
On a typical day, a fractional CFO might review cash flow forecasts, prepare a board report, provide feedback on a commercial proposal, interview a finance manager candidate, or attend a lender meeting. The exact activities depend on the business’s current priorities. CFO and Tax Advice fractional CFOs are active business partners, not passive report-readers.
