Common Questions
What Business Owners Ask
Answers to the questions we hear most before someone reaches out.

How much does a fractional CFO cost?

Monthly retainers for fractional CFO services typically run $3,000–$10,000 depending on scope and company size. Our fractional CFO engagement is $5,000/month with no hourly billing or surprise invoices — see the full breakdown on our Fractional CFO services page.

What's the difference between outsourced CFO services and Financial Clarity?

Outsourced CFO services are a hands-on monthly engagement with a real CPA and CVA reviewing your numbers. Financial Clarity is a self-serve financial toolkit you use on your own — same underlying expertise, different level of involvement, at a different price point.

When should a small business hire a fractional CFO?

Most owners reach out when cash flow feels unpredictable despite steady revenue, when they're preparing financials for a lender or investor, or when they've outgrown a bookkeeper but aren't ready for a full-time CFO salary.

Is tax planning included with the Fractional CFO retainer, or is it separate?

It's billed separately from the CFO retainer, though clients on both often bundle them — Fractional CFO clients get 10% off Tax Planning & Preparation, and the two stay in sync since it's the same person handling both. See the full breakdown on our Tax Services page.
