Frequently Asked Questions

Fractional CFO Services

Fractional CFO support can be tailored to your business, priorities, and stage of growth.

What is a Fractional CFO?
A Fractional CFO provides experienced financial leadership on a part-time or outsourced basis, giving businesses access to higher-level financial strategy without hiring a full-time executive.
How is this different from bookkeeping or accounting?
Accounting focuses primarily on maintaining accurate financial information and reporting what has happened. Fractional CFO services use that information to forecast, plan, evaluate options, and support strategic decisions.
Do we need to replace our existing accounting team?
Not necessarily. Fractional CFO support can work alongside your internal accounting staff, bookkeeper, controller, or AFairchild accounting team depending on your needs.
How often would we work with our Fractional CFO?
The level of support depends on your business and priorities. Engagements may include recurring financial review, forecasting, leadership meetings, strategic projects, or a combination of ongoing and project-based support.
Is Fractional CFO support only for large businesses?
No. It can be especially valuable for growing businesses that have reached a level of complexity where stronger financial leadership is needed but a full-time CFO is not yet practical.
