FAQ
What you need to know.
A fractional CFO is a senior finance leader who works with your company on a part-time or project basis. You get the same strategic depth as a full-time hire — financial planning, fundraising, board reporting, M&A — but only for the time and scope you actually need. Engagements typically range from a few days a month for ongoing oversight to full-time during a transaction or fundraise.
We work with startups and PE-backed companies in the DACH region — typically Series Seed through Series C, plus established mid-market businesses preparing for a transaction. If you've outgrown bookkeeping but can't justify a full-time CFO, or your existing finance team needs senior firepower for a specific project, we're built for you.
Very. Engagements can be hourly, monthly retainers, or fixed-scope projects. We can scale up during a fundraise or M&A process and scale down once the work is done. No long lock-ins, no equity, no hidden costs.
Pricing depends on scope, seniority, and intensity of the engagement, typically 1-4 days per week. Most clients save 30-40% compared to a full-time CFO hire, without giving up equity. For M&A mandates, we offer success-based compensation aligned with your outcome.
Usually within two weeks of an initial conversation. We match you with a Triage operator who fits your stage, sector, and the specific work at hand — and they're embedded and contributing from day one.
Our team is based across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and we work primarily with companies headquartered there. Engagements can be fully remote, on-site, or a hybrid — whichever fits your operating model best.
