When to hire a Fractional Financial Analyst
Bring in a Financial Analyst when finance decisions are being made on stale spreadsheets or when your controller and CFO are spending their time building reports instead of reading them.
Your forecast is a guess
Revenue and cash projections live in one founder's spreadsheet, and nobody can explain why last quarter missed by 20%.
Budget season is coming and no one owns it
Department heads need targets, headcount plans, and opex budgets, and your accounting team is already stretched by the close.
Board and investor reporting takes a week
Every board pack is rebuilt from scratch, KPIs drift between decks, and variance commentary gets written the night before.
You are raising or being diligenced
Investors or lenders want a three-statement model, unit economics, and a data room that ties back to your general ledger.
Spend controls are loose
Vendor costs, SaaS renewals, and departmental overruns show up after the fact because no one reviews budget vs actual monthly.
The benefits of hiring a Fractional Financial Analyst
A fractional Financial Analyst gives you a working three-statement model, a forecast you can defend, and clean monthly reporting, scoped to the hours your finance team actually needs.
Put a senior FP&A analyst on your budget cycle
Get budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modeling from an experienced analyst while paying only for the coverage you use, with no salary, bonus, or benefits load.
Close the variance gap before month-end
We match you with pre-screened analysts in about 3 days, so your next close and budget-vs-actual review has an owner instead of waiting out a months-long search.
Trust the numbers going to your board

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.”
