What is a Fractional CFO?
A Fractional CFO is a seasoned finance leader who delivers Chief Financial Officer services to multiple organizations on a part-time basis simultaneously. This model enables companies to access top-notch financial leadership without the cost and long-term commitment of employing a full-time CFO.
​
One major advantage to engaging a fractional CFO is the flexibility to tailor the relationship to your company's evolving needs--in terms of budget, timing, and growth trajectory.
Some might refer to this as "outsourcing" the CFO role. At InSource CFO, we see it differently--our mission is to partner with you in your business. We aim to provide actionable financial guidance and insights to help you make data-driven decisions, execute your strategy, and accelerate your success.
