Frequently Asked Questions About Fractional CFO Services
What's the difference between a fractional CFO and an accountant or bookkeeper?
Accountants and bookkeepers manage compliance and record-keeping. A fractional CFO provides strategic financial leadership — forecasting, profitability analysis, system integration, and exit planning. I also bring deep operational and technology expertise, so I optimize how you run the business, not just how you report it.
Do I need to commit to a long-term contract?
No. We can start with an hourly engagement or a month-to-month retainer. Most clients find value quickly and choose to continue, but there's no long-term lock-in.
How do you work with my existing team?
I work alongside your accountant, bookkeeper, or internal finance person — filling the strategic gaps they don't have capacity or expertise to cover. I can also help you hire and train finance staff as you scale.
What systems do you work with?
I specialize in Intuit QuickBooks plus most modern accounting suites such as Xero, Zoho Books and FreshBooks. I also integrate ERPs, CRMs, inventory systems, production and labor tracking tools.
Can you help if I'm planning to exit in the next 1-3 years?
Absolutely. Exit preparation is one of my core specialties. I've been through an 8-figure exit myself and know exactly what buyers and investors look for during due diligence.
What industries do you serve?
I focus on food & beverage / CPG companies and technology companies generating $1MM to $20MM in annual revenue. These are the sectors where my dual expertise delivers the most value.
