Fractional CFO

A Fractional CFO (Chief Financial Officer) is a seasoned financial executive who works with a company on a part-time, project-based, or interim basis. This arrangement allows growing startups, SMEs, or businesses in transition to access senior-level financial expertise without committing to a full-time executive salary.

Fractional CFOs typically provide services such as:

• Financial forecasting and cash flow management

• Fundraising strategy and investor relations support

• Budgeting, reporting, and financial statement oversight

• Valuation analysis and M&A advisory

• Debt and equity structuring guidance

• Board reporting and financial governance

This model is particularly popular in early-stage or scaling ventures where financial complexity increases but full-time executive overhead may be premature.

In dynamic regions like the UAE, where cross-border financial planning, VAT compliance, and multi-currency treasury management are increasingly complex, fractional CFOs offer a practical, flexible solution for high-growth firms navigating their capital strategy and operational scale.
