Why Do Businesses Hire Fractional CFOs?
There's a critical point during the growth curve of a small business where hiring a fractional CFO becomes essential.

For business owners who choose to ignore the signs that it's time to bring in someone with an understanding of the complicated financial realities of growing a business, stagnation often occurs. However, businesses that recognize that it's time to bring in some fresh eyes enjoy the benefits of being guided by an experienced CFO without all of the baggage that comes from hiring a full-time CFO. CFOs bring a unique perspective to your business that may help you discover opportunities for raising capital, reducing costs, and optimizing your tax situation. They also help to increase accountability and compliance within your bookkeeping practices. Many business owners hire fractional CFOs because:
They are drowning without the knowledge and expertise of a CFO. However, they aren't in a place to hire a full-time CFO.
They want to optimize the way they run the financial side of their business without bringing in another management-level partner.
They are seeking monthly, quarterly, or sporadic services.
They want to make sure their books are properly prepared for tax season.
They want to enjoy the benefits of forecasting, financial modeling, and reporting that bigger companies enjoy.
They need help raising capital.
They need help with a special project that requires CFO-level guidance and expertise.
If you're running your business without the help of a CFO, there's a strong chance that you're missing out on opportunities for growth. Poor financial reporting creates confusion, lack of accountability, compliance issues, and many other headaches that ultimately leave you moving backward.
