When to hire a Fractional Director of Financial Planning and Analysi
You do not need to wait until your finance team is overwhelmed to bring in a Director of Financial Planning and Analysis. These are the signals that it is time to act.
Budgeting and Forecasting Are Breaking Down
Your annual planning process is manual, inconsistent, or producing numbers leadership does not trust. A Director of FP&A brings structure, rigor, and repeatable forecasting models that scale with the business.
You Are Heading Into a Fundraise or Board Review
Investors and board members expect clean financial models, scenario analysis, and clear KPIs. Bringing in an experienced FP&A director before these moments ensures your numbers tell a compelling and credible story.
Finance and Business Leaders Are Misaligned
When department heads and the CFO are working from different numbers, strategic decisions suffer. A Director of FP&A creates a single source of financial truth and bridges the gap between finance and operations.
Your FP&A Function Is Understaffed or Vacant
A departure, a leave of absence, or rapid growth can leave a critical gap in your financial planning capability. An interim or fractional director keeps forecasting, reporting, and analysis running without interruption.
You Need Better Visibility Into Financial Performance
If leadership is making decisions without reliable dashboards, variance analysis, or rolling forecasts, a Director of FP&A builds the infrastructure to give you real-time financial visibility.
You Are Scaling and Need Strategic Finance Support
As headcount, revenue, and complexity grow, ad hoc financial management creates risk. A fractional Director of FP&A provides the strategic finance layer your business needs to scale with confidence.

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.”
