When to hire a Fractional FP&A Manager
Hire an FP&A Manager when your numbers exist but nobody turns them into a plan, a forecast, or a clear answer for leadership.
Your forecast is a stale spreadsheet
The model was built for the last raise, breaks when anyone touches it, and no longer ties to actuals from your ERP.
Budget season is coming and nobody owns it
Department heads are waiting for targets and headcount plans, and your controller is buried in the close.
Burn is moving and you cannot explain why
Spend is off plan, but there is no monthly variance analysis showing which team, vendor, or revenue line caused it.
The board wants scenarios, not a P&L
Investors are asking for runway cases, unit economics, and hiring plans tied to cash, and your current reports cannot answer them.
Your CFO is stuck doing analyst work
Senior finance leadership is rebuilding pivot tables instead of managing banks, investors, and strategy.
The benefits of hiring a Fractional FP&A Manager
A fractional FP&A Manager gives you a working three-statement model, a forecast you can defend, and variance analysis your department heads act on, without adding a full finance headcount.
Build your operating model at part-time cost
Get senior budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modeling on a monthly retainer instead of a full salary, bonus, and benefits package.
Staff budget season before the board meeting
Meet pre-screened FP&A Managers within days, so next year's plan and the updated forecast are ready when your board or lenders ask.
Trust the model to someone who has built dozens
Work with operators who have rebuilt messy spreadsheets in Excel, Adaptive, Anaplan, or Pigment and tied them back to NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Sage Intacct actuals.

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.”
