Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • We partner with early- to mid-stage companies, often post-revenue but pre-finance team, or with lean finance functions stretched thin. Many are founder-led, VC- or PE-backed, and in high-growth phases with strategic complexity but limited internal capacity.

  • Some clients will bring us in for a specific deliverable (like preparation for fund raising or a major transaction), and we evolve the relationship from there.

    With other clients, we start lean - with just a few hours a week - and flex up (or down) as needed. I am consistently amazed at what you can achieve with just a few hours of focused effort each week.

  • Yes. We build with handoff in mind—so your team can maintain and evolve the tools without being dependent. We’re also happy to support recruiting or onboarding internal hires when the time comes.

  • Within a matter of days. A working forecast or cashflow model often comes first, unlocking clarity and setting the stage for better budgeting, KPI alignment, and scenario analysis.

  • Great—we work alongside them. We often collaborate with CFOs, controllers, or finance managers who are overloaded or want to build out FP&A capabilities without hiring full-time right away.

  • Fractional CFOs cover the full spectrum of finance—accounting, tax, compliance, reporting, and investor relations. They bring essential breadth, but often don’t go deep into forecasting or analysis.

    Fractional FP&A focuses solely on forward-looking decision support: budgets, forecasts, scenario planning, and KPIs. We help you understand your business model, prioritize the right opportunities, and make confident decisions—maximizing the strategic value of your financial data.

  • Accounting tells you what happened. FP&A helps you plan what’s next.

    While accounting tracks what happened, FP&A builds the models, dashboards, and analytics that help leaders plan what’s next—and make clear, confident decisions along the way.
