Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services and approach.

A fractional CFO is a senior finance leader who works with your business on a part time basis. They bring board level expertise in strategy, forecasting, cash management, fundraising, and reporting, without the cost of a full time hire. Choose a fractional CFO when you need experienced leadership, flexible time, and fast impact.

We start with a discovery call to understand your goals, challenges, sector, and ways of working. We shortlist CFOs who fit your stage and industry, then arrange interviews and references. Once you select a CFO, we agree scope and cadence, onboard quickly, and provide ongoing support to keep delivery on track.

We have depth across SMEs, including SaaS, fintech, ecommerce, marketplaces, edtech, medtech, professional services, and manufacturing.

We serve clients across the UK and internationally. Engagements can be remote, on site, or hybrid, based on your needs and the CFO’s location.

Typically within 1 to 3 weeks, timing depends on role complexity, availability, and any specific sector requirements. For urgent needs we can accelerate with an interim option while we finalise the longer-term match.

We specialise in fractional leadership for growth companies, apply rigorous vetting, stay hands on after placement, and foster peer collaboration through our CFO community.

Common triggers include rapid growth, fundraising, cash flow pressure, M&A or exit planning, and the need for better forecasting and board reporting. If finance decisions are slowing growth or adding risk, it is time to bring in leadership.

Yes. Our CFOs integrate with internal teams, clarify roles, improve processes, and lift capability. They coach the team while installing the right cadence for reporting and decision making.

Yes. Typical support includes data room readiness, financial models, KPI design, investor materials, and managing the process with lenders or equity investors.

Most clients start at 1 to 2 days per week for a minimum of 3 months. We adjust up or down as needs change, and we review cadence during the first month to confirm the right level.

In many cases yes. If both sides want a full time move, we define a clear conversion path and timing, so knowledge transfer and continuity are protected.

We screen for stage and sector fit, leadership style, and values. Each candidate goes through interviews, reference checks, and work history verification.

If the fit is not right, we step in quickly, agree the issues, and present alternative profiles. We manage a smooth transition and continuity plan, so delivery continues while we complete the rematch.

We typically work with ambitious scale-ups in the £2M-£50M revenue range, though we’ve successfully supported businesses from pre-revenue through to exit.

We offer flexible fractional arrangements from one day per week to full-time interim placements, tailored to your specific needs and budget.

A fractional CFO provides the same strategic expertise and experience as a full-time CFO, but works on a part-time basis. This gives you access to senior-level talent at a fraction of the cost, perfect for businesses that need expert financial leadership but don’t require or can’t justify a full-time hire.

Deliverables are tailored to your needs but typically include financial models, board reports, KPI dashboards, investor materials, cash flow forecasts, and strategic planning documentation.

Absolutely. Our CFOs are experienced in working with distributed teams and can operate effectively both remotely and on-site, depending on your preference.

Yes, our CFOs can manage the entire audit process, from preparation and documentation to liaison with auditors and addressing any findings.

Our network consists exclusively of experienced CFOs who have held senior positions in scaling businesses. They bring practical, hands-on experience rather than just theoretical knowledge, and many have successfully navigated fundraising, exits, or turnarounds.

The level of involvement is flexible and based on your needs. Some clients require strategic oversight only, while others need hands-on support with finance team management, systems implementation, or investor relations.
