Hire Fractional CFO — cash flow, unit economics & fundraising prep
Your accountant reports the past while a fractional CFO shapes the future — cash-flow control, honest unit economics, pricing that holds, and fundraising-ready financials. One to two days a week of senior finance leadership, for the stage where every dollar of burn must earn its place.

What a fractional CFO actually owns
Cash-flow control
A 13-week rolling cash forecast with scenario planning — so you see a crunch coming months out, not the morning payroll bounces, and every hiring decision clears a cash test first.
Unit economics & pricing
CAC, LTV, gross margin, and payback rebuilt by segment until the numbers are honest — then turned into pricing and packaging your sales team can defend on real calls.
FP&A and board reporting
Monthly management accounts, variance analysis, and a board pack investors actually read — numbers translated into decisions, delivered before the meeting rather than during it, with clear actions attached.
Fundraising preparation
Data room, financial model, and investor Q&A preparation built to diligence standard — your CFO knows what kills deals on the other side of the table and prepares you for it.
Spend & vendor discipline
A line-by-line review of burn — subscriptions, vendors, headcount — cutting what does not compound and renegotiating what does, typically within the first 60 days of the engagement.
Systems & controls
Approval workflows, close checklists, and dashboard discipline — the boring plumbing that keeps finance trustworthy as you scale from ten people to fifty, without turning every expense into a committee decision.
From books to board-ready in four steps
A structured engagement with no surprises — you’ll always know what’s happening and what’s next.
Financial diagnostic
Two weeks inside your books, models, and burn — surfacing the three numbers that matter most and the quiet ones nobody is watching.
Controls & forecast
Cash forecast, reporting cadence, and approval discipline installed in the first month — visibility before strategy, because you cannot steer numbers you cannot see.
Embedded finance leadership
Your CFO joins leadership meetings one to two days a week — challenging spend, defending margin, and keeping the forecast honest as plans change.
Fundraising or handover
When the numbers are solid, we prepare the data room or a handover pack — so investors, auditors, or your full-time hire get finance they can trust.
Why hire a fractional CFO through Omer
Finance hires fail quietly — reports arrive late, forecasts drift, and nobody challenges spend. With 15+ years across 100+ projects in 6 countries, I vet fractional CFOs on rigor and commercial sense, then keep the engagement anchored to cash, margin, and decisions.
You get calm, disciplined finance leadership without the full-time seat. If cash flow keeps you up at night, book a discovery call and we will map your path to control.
Frequently asked questions
When does a fractional CFO make sense?
When burn, pricing, or fundraising questions exceed what your accountant covers — usually from seed to Series B, when the business needs forecasts, unit economics, and board-ready reporting.
How many days per week?
Typically one to two days a week — enough for leadership meetings, monthly close oversight, and forecast reviews, without carrying a full-time finance executive before you need one.
Can they help us raise funding?
Yes — that is core work. Your CFO builds the financial model, prepares the data room, and rehearses investor questions, so diligence feels like confirmation rather than discovery.
Do they replace our accountant?
No. Your accountant keeps the books compliant; the fractional CFO turns those books into forecasts, pricing decisions, and board narratives — a different seat doing a different job entirely.
What do we get in the first 90 days?
A 13-week cash forecast, monthly reporting cadence, spend review, and a board-ready pack — plus a clear view of runway, margins, and the decisions that extend both.
