You need eight hours a month, not forty a week.
A fractional CFO gives you executive financial judgment without an executive salary.
The problem
A full-time CFO costs $150,000 to $300,000 a year, before benefits. You don't need forty hours a week of CFO thinking. You need eight hours a month of the right thinking — at the moment it actually matters.
