Fractional CFO vs Full-time CFO
SMB's, will anyone address this???
The myth that you must hire a Full-Time CFO.
For once, let’s be real.
You don’t need to burn $250K/year + benefits if:
You need high-level financial insights on demand.
You want financial clarity without unnecessary overhead.
You require budgeting, investor relations, and forecasting.
For whatever reason, many founders think a full-time hire is the only solution.
It’s not. And that’s exactly why Fractional CFOs exist.
(Your SMB doesn’t need a full-time CFO to get financial strategy.)
I’ve seen too many businesses struggle with runaway costs because of this mindset.
The worst part?
They make costly mistakes.
They delay financial clarity.
They scale inefficiently.
Just one shift in mindset:
→ Get a Fractional CFO when you need expertise, not overhead.
I don’t care if every finance leader in the industry disagrees. I’ll stand by this.
Founders, let’s build smarter, not more expensive.
