Stop Guessing What You
Can Afford.
Start Knowing.
On the 5th of every month, you open your inbox and know exactly where every dollar is, which decisions are safe, and what to do next. No calling your accountant. No spreadsheet anxiety. Just numbers you can act on — from a CGMA-qualified CFO who's managed $3.4B+ in portfolios.
What is a Fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO is a part-time Chief Financial Officer who provides senior-level financial leadership to growing businesses — typically $2M–$50M in revenue — without the $250K+ cost of a full-time hire. They deliver management accounts, cash flow forecasts, KPI dashboards, and strategic advisory on a monthly retainer.
The numbers you're not looking at are making decisions for you.
Your P&L says you made $80K last quarter. Your bank account tells a different story.
Revenue is up. You hired two people. But the account balance hasn't moved. That gap between "profit" and "cash" isn't a rounding error — it's a visibility problem. And every week without clarity, the gap gets harder to close. How many months have you been telling yourself "I'll figure it out next quarter"?
You're paying $2,500/mo for bookkeeping that tells you nothing.
Transactions are categorized. Reports are "available." But when your bank asks for a 13-week cash flow forecast, you stare at your bookkeeper. When your partner asks your gross margin by service line, silence. You're paying for data entry and calling it a finance department. That's not a bookkeeper problem — it's a gap nobody told you existed.
Your CPA bills $400/hr to explain what happened nine months ago.
Tax returns filed, compliance met. But by the time you see last year's numbers, the decisions they should have informed are long gone. You needed Q2 margins in July — not the following April. Your CPA does their job brilliantly. Their job is the autopsy. You need the live dashboard.
You're doing $2M–$50M in revenue. You've outgrown your bookkeeper. You can't justify a $250K CFO. Yet.
- Your revenue is growing but your cash feels tight
- You're making decisions worth $50K+ based on gut feel
- You dread board meetings because your numbers aren't ready
- Your bookkeeper does the data entry but nobody explains it
- You need someone who speaks both GAAP and plain English
You're exactly who I built this for. I take on 5 clients total — not 50 — so every CEO gets my direct attention, not a junior associate's.

"We had venues running events across multiple cities but our numbers were a mess — membership fees, ticket revenue, bar spend, all in different systems. Stuart pulled it into one clear picture. Within two months we knew exactly which locations were profitable and restructured the entire model. He sees things in the numbers that we just couldn't."
"We needed fund-level reporting that institutional LPs would actually trust — waterfall calculations, carried interest accruals, quarterly NAV reporting across our portfolio companies. Stuart built the entire framework. LP reporting went from a three-week scramble to a five-day process. He understands fund mechanics the way a GP does — because he's done the work from both sides."
"We were flying blind — making $6M in revenue but couldn't tell you our gross margin by service line. Stuart had our first real management pack in 3 weeks. We found $180K in misallocated overhead in month one. That paid for two years of his retainer."
"We needed our cash flow forecast for a bank covenant review — in 48 hours. Our bookkeeper couldn't do it. Stuart delivered a 13-week rolling forecast that same week. The bank renewed our $2M line of credit without a single follow-up question."
"We were 6 months from our Series B. Investors wanted board-ready financials, a cap table audit, and burn-rate projections. Stuart had everything investor-ready in 4 weeks. We raised $12M at a $60M valuation — with clean numbers, not apologies."
"Our IPO was 90 days out and our Cayman fund structure didn't exist yet. Stuart set it up from scratch — investor reporting, NAV calculations, IFRS-compliant statements for a £200M listed vehicle. Present at the IPO bell. That's the kind of person you want in the room."
