Common Questions About CFO Support
What is a Fractional CFO, and how does it compare to a full-time hire?
A Fractional CFO provides the senior strategic capability of an experienced Chief Financial Officer on a part-time or retained basis (e.g., 2 to 4 days a month). While a full-time CFO typically costs £150,000 to £200,000+ per year, our fractional model gives you 11 years of boardroom CFO experience at a fraction of the cost.
Can you help us raise investment?
Yes. We have hands-on experience raising millions in debt and equity from VCs, high-net-worth individuals, angel investors, and crowdfunding platforms. We can prepare your pitchbook, build investor-ready financial models, manage the data room, and support you through due diligence and term-sheet negotiations.
Can you work alongside my existing bookkeeper or finance manager?
Absolutely. In most engagements, your internal team or bookkeeper continues to handle daily transactional accounting. We step in at the executive level to interpret the data, build forecasts, attend board meetings, and guide strategic direction.
What size of business typically needs fractional CFO support?
We typically support UK SMEs with revenues between £500k and £15m who have outgrown basic compliance accounting and need strategic financial forecasting, fundraising support, or board-level financial discipline to scale.
