Frequently Asked Questions
A fractional CFO is an experienced Chief Financial Officer who works with your business on a part-time or fractional basis rather than as a full-time hire. They provide the same strategic financial leadership as a full-time CFO but at a proportionate cost. This model is increasingly common in the UK among scale-ups and SMEs that need senior finance capability without the overhead.
A management accountant produces and analyses your monthly financial reports. A fractional CFO uses those reports to drive strategic decisions — fundraising, restructuring, growth planning, and investor relations. The CFO is a board-level role focused on strategy; the management accountant is focused on reporting accuracy.
Fractional CFO fees in the UK typically range from £2,000 to £8,000 per month, depending on days engaged, business complexity, and the scope of work. Our packages are fixed and agreed in advance. Book a discovery call for a specific quote based on your situation.
The roles overlap significantly. In the UK, ‘Finance Director’ is the more common title at board level; ‘CFO’ implies a broader strategic and external-facing remit. Particularly, fundraising and investor relations. If your priorities are internal financial management and reporting, an FD engagement may be more appropriate. If you are actively raising capital or managing complex financial risk, a CFO designation is more relevant. We can advise which fits your situation.
The right time is usually when you find yourself making significant financial decisions, including pricing strategy, hiring plans, and investment in new product lines. Without sufficient financial analysis to back them. Other triggers include: approaching a funding round, crossing £1M in revenue, taking on debt finance, or experiencing rapid growth that your current financial infrastructure cannot adequately support.
