A team approach

The best fractional CFO services are provided by a team of professionals that can scale rather than an individual interim CFO.

For example, you would be wise to seek out a Los Angeles Fractional CFO knowledge of California’s tough sales tax regulations. But will that individual be able to help you as your business triggers sales tax nexus in other states? An outsourced CFO team provides that scalability.

Will you accept my current software stack, or will you force me to change systems?

What software do you use for digital collaboration?

What security procedures do you follow to protect my business from hackers?

What kind of response time will you commit to?

Clearly defined deliverables

Before you onboard a fractional CFO, make them defined with specific deliverables – such as monthly financial statements, an updated forecast, and a board of directors’ deck. Many part time CFOs simply sell blocks of hours – this is a sub-standard commitment and will result in disappointment, missed expectations, or billing surprises.
