Senior finance leadership embedded in your business, without the full-time cost. Whether you call it a virtual CFO, outsourced CFO, or fractional CFO — the outcome is the same.
There is no agreed industry term for senior finance leadership delivered on a part-time or retainer basis. Depending on where you searched from, you may have arrived here looking for a virtual CFO, an outsourced CFO, or a fractional CFO.

Emphasises that the CFO function is sourced externally rather than employed. Common in professional services and advisory contexts.
I operate as your CFO for the days per month your business needs. This is not a consulting engagement where I review your numbers and send a report. I sit inside the business, run the function, and own the outcomes.

Past the bookkeeper stage, not yet at the point where a full-time CFO is justified. The gap between those two points is where the most value is lost — and where a virtual CFO has the most impact.
Private equity investors expect institutional-quality reporting and financial discipline. A virtual CFO with PE experience can build the function that satisfies those expectations without the permanent hire.
Raising debt or equity requires a financial model, clean books, and a CFO who can speak to investors. I build the collateral and run the process alongside you.
A sale or acquisition puts your finance function under scrutiny. I prepare the numbers, the model, and the data room, and manage the due diligence process on the finance side.
A 30-minute call will make it clear whether there is a fit. No commitment required.
