Frequently asked questions

Get more insight into our services, locations, and how we can support your finance goals.

  • What is a Fractional Finance Team?

    A Fractional Finance Team offers businesses flexible, part-time access to financial experts—including CFOs, Controllers, Accountants, Payroll, HR and Bookkeepers. Instead of hiring full-time, you get the right level of support when you need it most.

  • How is this different from hiring internally?

    Hiring in-house means full salaries, benefits, and long-term commitments. With a fractional team, you get experienced professionals for a fraction of the cost—scaling hours up or down as your business evolves.

  • What services do you provide?

    We build custom support based on your needs. Services include:

    • Fractional CFOs for financial strategy, forecasting, and investor relations
    • Fractional CEOs and COOs for operational leadership, scaling strategy, and execution
    • Controllers for financial oversight, internal controls, and reliable reporting
    • Accountants and Bookkeepers for day-to-day entries, reconciliations, and monthly close
    • Accounts Receivable & Payable support for billing, collections, and vendor payments
    • Financial systems implementation for automation and efficiency
    • Payroll support to manage employee compensation and compliance
    • HR Advisory and Generalist Support for hiring, compliance, employee relations, and culture

    This allows you to build a customized finance team that fits your needs.

  • Who typically uses these services?

    Our clients include:

    • Startups scaling quickly
    • Small-to-midsize businesses ready for next-level financial clarity
    • Large organizations for project-based and interim support
    • Companies in transition (mergers, funding, leadership changes)
    • Business owners needing part-time support but high-level insight

    Our team has worked across X industries. 

  • How do I know what level of support I need?

    We start with a discovery call. We’ll look at your current processes, challenges, and goals. Then we’ll recommend the right mix—whether that’s a CFO for strategic decisions or a Controller to clean up month-end reporting.

  • Do you work with existing staff or systems?

    Yes. We integrate with internal teams and existing accountants, payroll providers, or tax advisors. We’re also experienced in over 18 different softwares like QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and more.

     

  • How is pricing structured?

    We create customized pricing based on your business’s needs, scope of work, and preferred level of support. Whether you need a few hours a week or full-function leadership across finance and HR, we’ll build a plan that fits.

  • Is my data safe?

    Absolutely. We follow strict data security protocols and work within secure, cloud-based platforms. Confidentiality is part of every engagement.

  • Do you offer project-based or interim support?

    Yes. We provide both project-based support and interim coverage. Whether you need help during an audit, support through a system migration, financial clean-up, investor or lender reporting, or leadership transitions—we step in quickly to stabilize and strengthen your finance function. Our team ensures continuity and results, even during complex or high-pressure situations.
