Fractional CFO, full-time CFO, controller or bookkeeper?
Hire in this order: a bookkeeper for accurate records, a controller to close the books on time, a CFO to decide what the numbers mean. A fractional CFO gives you that last role at the size your business needs.
| Role | What they do | Looks | Typical cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bookkeeper | Records what happened. | Backward | Hourly or a small monthly fee | Every business, from the start |
| Controller | Closes the books accurately and on time. | Backward and present | Salary or contract | Books that need a reliable monthly close |
| Fractional CFO | Decides what the numbers mean and what to do next. | Forward | Scoped monthly retainer, typically 30 to 40 percent less than full time | Companies with $2M to $50M in revenue whose decisions outgrew the records |
| Full-time CFO | The same judgment, every day, on staff. | Forward | $200,000 or more a year in salary, benefits and bonus | Companies that need daily financial oversight |
How a fractional CFO engagement starts
- A 30-minute Clarity Call No preparation and no documents. We tell you what we see and whether ongoing CFO leadership is the right next step.
- Scope the work Start with a fixed-fee Financial Assessment, $5,000 to $10,000 over three to four weeks, or go straight to an ongoing engagement.
- First 30 days We make the books trustworthy and stand up a 13-week cash forecast, so decisions stop coming from the bank balance.
- By 60 days A month closed under our cadence, and the two or three things that will move the business this quarter.
- By 90 days The reporting rhythm is live, and you can see profitability by the lines that matter.
Fractional CFO services in Texas: common questions
Which Texas cities do you serve?
We serve companies across Texas from our office in Plano. Most clients are in Dallas-Fort Worth, including Plano, Dallas and Fort Worth, and we also work with companies in Houston and Austin. Much of the weekly work runs on video, so we can serve clients elsewhere too.
Do you only work with Texas companies?
No. Our office and most of our clients are in Texas, but the weekly work of a fractional CFO runs well on video and shared reporting. We work with companies elsewhere in the United States when the fit is right.
What does a fractional CFO do?
A fractional CFO runs your financial function part time. That means a 13-week cash forecast, a reliable monthly close, budgets and plans, and financing and transaction work. It also means a senior partner in the room for the decisions those numbers inform.
How much does a fractional CFO cost?
We price by scope on a monthly retainer, typically 30 to 40 percent less than a full-time CFO, who costs $200,000 or more a year. A fixed-fee Financial Assessment, $5,000 to $10,000 over three to four weeks, is a smaller way to start.
When your numbers tell the truth, your decisions get easier.
A 30-minute conversation. No deck. No prep. Just a clear picture of where you actually are, what is in your way, and what would change if your numbers started telling you the truth.
