Hire a Vetted
Fractional CFO
Matched Within Hours

A fractional CFO is an experienced chief financial officer who works part-time for several companies. They lead forecasting, cash flow, capital raising and strategic planning – the work of a full-time CFO, scaled to what your business needs.

Ongoing fractional CFO engagements typically start at $2,500 per month, and intensive engagements at $7,000. One-time advisory projects start at $750, and hourly rates run $150–$250+. Through US Fractional CFO Alliance you pay the CFO directly, with no fees or markups added.

Common triggers: you are preparing to raise capital or take on debt, cash feels tight even though sales are growing, major decisions are made without a forecast, or a lender, investor or board asks for better reporting. A fractional CFO is also a common bridge before a full-time hire.

Through US Fractional CFO Alliance – you answer four short questions and our team introduces you to a short list of CFOs with experience in your industry, usually within hours. You can also browse profiles and request introductions to up to six CFOs yourself. You choose who to talk to. There is no cost and no obligation.

Every CFO is personally reviewed and approved before their profile goes live – through a structured assessment, a one-on-one conversation, or both. We check stated experience against public sources and verify licenses where records are available.

Our introduction service is free for businesses. The experts in our network invest in Alliance membership to be part of a vetted professional community, and that membership covers the cost of matching. You pay only your CFO, at their rate – no commissions or markups.

Firms and agencies usually add a markup or keep a share of what you pay, and assign whoever is available. Through the Alliance you see a short list of CFOs matched to your needs, talk to them directly, choose who you work with and pay only the CFO’s rate.

A fractional CFO works with you part-time on an ongoing basis. Outsourced CFO services is the broader term for any external CFO support, ongoing or project-based. An interim CFO steps in temporarily – full-time or part-time – to cover a vacancy, a leave or a transition. CFOs in our network do all three.

Typical work includes cash flow forecasting, budgeting, financial modeling, KPI and board reporting, fundraising and lender preparation, pricing and margin analysis, M&A and exit readiness, and oversight of your accounting team or controller.

An accountant records transactions; a controller makes sure the numbers are accurate, on time and properly controlled; a CFO uses those numbers to plan strategy, raise capital and manage risk. If your books are not reliable yet, start with a fractional controller or outsourced accounting.
