When to hire a Fractional Business Analyst
Hire a Business Analyst when your finance team is making decisions from spreadsheets nobody fully trusts or when a planning or systems project has no one to own the analysis.
Your forecast lives in one fragile spreadsheet
The model breaks when someone adds a row, and only one person knows how the assumptions connect to revenue and headcount.
Variance reports arrive too late to act on
Budget-versus-actual numbers show up weeks after close, so leadership reviews last quarter's problems instead of this month's.
An ERP or BI rollout has no requirements owner
Your NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Power BI project is stalling because no one has mapped current processes and reporting needs.
Audit prep exposes weak controls
Reconciliations, approval trails, and process documentation are scattered, and your auditors keep asking for the same evidence.
Your controller is buried in ad hoc requests
Pricing analyses, unit economics, and board questions keep landing on the person who should be running the close.
The benefits of hiring a Fractional Business Analyst
A fractional Business Analyst gives your finance team senior modeling, reporting, and requirements work on a monthly retainer, scoped to the cycles where you need it.
Staff your FP&A gaps at part-time cost
Get a senior analyst on budgets, forecasts, and variance analysis without carrying a full-time salary, benefits, and recruiting fees.
Close the reporting gap before month-end
Meet pre-screened Business Analysts in about 3 days, so your next close or board pack does not wait on a months-long search.
Hand off models to analysts who've built them
Work with operators who have shipped driver-based forecasts, NetSuite and Power BI reporting, and controls documentation for companies at your stage.

We’ve helped hundreds of organizations Go Fractional
Twelve years: the average experience across a network of handpicked executives ready to make an impact on day one.
“It was literally three days after he started with us fractionally, our CEO was calling me and asking if we could get a full-time offer out.”
“It's a can't-lose scenario. You either get the learnings from the subject matter expert, or you get the full-time capability. It provided a ton of flexibility, much faster speed to market, and conservation of time and resources.”
“Having someone senior from day one as a founder means you're actually hiring yourself out of a job, not transferring that amount of work to essentially management of someone junior, which can only be as often just as much work or only slightly less work.”
