Fractional CFO for $3–25M companies

Why a Fractional CFO?

For growing businesses in the $3–25M revenue range, navigating financial complexities is crucial to sustainable success. At this stage, you’re likely experiencing rapid expansion, increasing operational demands, and the need for strategic decision-making that goes beyond basic bookkeeping. A fractional CFO steps in as a seasoned financial leader, providing expert guidance to help you scale efficiently, mitigate risks, and align your finances with long-term goals—without the commitment of a full-time executive. This role is essential because it bridges the gap between day-to-day accounting and high-level strategy, ensuring your company thrives in a competitive landscape marked by economic uncertainty, market volatility, and evolving regulations. Here’s how I got here — E-1 to squadron commander, then the PE seat.

Price is public: 10 hours / $5,000 or 20 hours / $7,500. Compare that to a full-time hire. Defense contractors, see GovCon CFO and DCAA / SF 1408. Construction: job cost, WIP, bonding. Raising on a SAFE or first priced round: diligence-ready books.

Accountants deliver the unassailable truth of the past, while CFOs chart the path forward, creating a continuum from record-keeping to visionary planning. Businesses that conflate these roles risk either neglecting compliance or stunting growth. For entrepreneurs, hiring an accountant early ensures foundational stability, while bringing on a CFO signals readiness for scaling. A fractional CFO is the best way to get the experience you need without having the burden of another high-cost W2 employee on your P&L.
