The Problem
Building a Finance Team
Role-by-Role Doesn't Work
Most scaling startups either overspend hiring individually or underspend and get gaps. There's a better way.
The Salary Stack Is Unaffordable
CFO at $180K. Controller at $100K. Analyst at $85K. Bookkeeper at $55K. That's $420,000 a year before a single strategic decision is made — and you're not ready for that headcount.
Four Hires Means Four Management Relationships
You're running a startup, not a finance department. Each hire is a separate onboarding, a separate performance conversation, a separate management burden — on top of everything else you're already doing.
Gaps Between Roles Are Where Things Break
Your bookkeeper records the entries. Your controller closes the books. Your analyst builds the forecast. No one is connecting the dots — and when numbers don't tell a coherent story, decisions suffer.
The alternative to a full team isn't just doing less — it's making decisions without the financial clarity your stage demands. That's where growth stalls, fundraising gets harder, and mistakes compound.
The Difference
One Team. One Point of Contact.
Every Layer of Your Finances Covered.
Instead of managing four people and hoping they talk to each other, you work with one CFO who owns everything underneath.
You don't need to manage a finance team. You need a finance team that manages itself — and delivers one clear picture every month.

Common Questions
Questions About the
Fractional Finance Team
A fractional CFO alone gives you strategy — but someone still has to do the accounting, close the books, and build the model. This service is the full stack: strategy through execution. Every role is filled, every layer is connected, and the CFO is accountable for all of it. You get clarity at every level of your finances, not just the top.
Your CFO is your single point of contact. They manage the team, own every deliverable, and are accountable for the output. You'll know who's on your team and what each person handles — we believe in full transparency on team structure — but you'll never have to manage four separate relationships or chase four different people for answers.
Yes. Tiers are designed to upgrade as your business scales. Starting at Foundation builds the accounting and reporting foundation that Growth and Scale run on top of. When your revenue, complexity, or fundraising needs increase, we'll recommend an upgrade — and the transition is seamless because the team already knows your business.
Engagements run in 3-month cycles. Finance functions don't produce meaningful clarity in a single month — the value compounds as the team understands your business, closes more cycles, and builds a model that reflects real history. This is confirmed in writing before any work begins, with no hidden exit conditions.
Yes. If you have someone already handling day-to-day bookkeeping, we can layer the CFO, controller, and analyst functions on top. We'll assess whether the existing bookkeeping meets the standard we need, and work with your current setup where it does. The right engagement structure is confirmed before work begins.
Onboarding takes 2–3 weeks. We start with a structured intake: access to your accounting software, a review of existing financials, and a CFO kick-off call to align on priorities and deliverables. By the end of the first month, your finance function is running — books are clean, reporting is set up, and the team knows your business.

Most scaling startups wait too long. They patch the gap with a part-time bookkeeper and a spreadsheet, then face a fundraise or a cash crunch without the financial infrastructure to respond. Don't wait for the crisis to build the function.
