Fractional CFO for Indian companies
For companies that need senior finance leadership every week, but not a full-time CFO yet. Also called a virtual CFO or part-time CFO.
What a fractional CFO does
In a typical month:
- Reviews the monthly numbers with the founder or CEO
- Runs the cash forecast and flags problems early
- Prepares board and investor reporting
- Guides the finance team and the auditors
- Leads fundraising, banking and deal conversations
Signs you need one
- Revenue is growing, but cash is tight and nobody can say why
- You are preparing to raise funds, take on debt or sell a stake
- Investors or the board want better reporting than your team produces
- Your accountant handles compliance, but no one owns financial decisions

Common questions
- What is a fractional CFO?
- A fractional CFO is an experienced finance leader who works with your company part time, usually a set number of hours each week. They do the work of a CFO: cash planning, reporting, fundraising and financial decisions.
- How is a fractional CFO different from a virtual CFO?
- In India the two terms are used for the same thing. Some accounting firms use virtual CFO for bookkeeping and compliance packages. Our fractional CFOs work on financial leadership and decisions, alongside your existing accountant.
- When should a company hire a fractional CFO instead of a full-time one?
- When the business needs senior finance judgement every week but does not have enough work, or budget, for a full-time CFO. Many companies start part time and hire full time later.
- Will the fractional CFO replace our accountant or CA?
- No. Your accountant or CA continues with bookkeeping, tax and filings. The fractional CFO uses those numbers to plan cash, report to the board and support decisions.
