Three levels of part-time leadership, from a monthly reporting package to a full interim CFO. Here's what each one includes and what it costs — not a custom-quote guessing game.
Interim leadership scales with how much time you actually need — a startup needing a monthly board pack and one needing a full-time-equivalent CFO through a fundraise aren't the same engagement. Instead of a vague "contact for pricing," here's the variable that drives cost, and where you likely land.
Not sure which one fits? A short call is enough to tell — it's usually obvious within 15 minutes.
Custom management reports, KPI dashboards, and visual financial packages for investors, board members, or leadership — built in Excel, Power BI, or your preferred tool. Good fit if your books are solid and you need the story told clearly.
Month-end close, internal controls, and audit-ready books for startups and scale-ups that need rigorous financial oversight without a full-time hire. I own the close process, not just review it.
Strategic financial leadership on a part-time basis. Cash flow planning, fundraising support, investor relations, and board-ready reporting — without a full-time CFO salary. Right fit through a fundraise, a restructuring, or a growth stage that's outgrown the founder's own finance skills.
By what's actually happening in the business, not by title preference. If your books are clean and you need the story told to a board or investor, that's the reporting tier. If month-end close itself needs ownership — reconciliations, controls, audit-readiness — that's the Controller tier. If you need someone in the room for fundraising, cash strategy, or board decisions, that's the CFO tier. A short call is usually enough to tell.
Because the actual driver of cost is time, and time needs vary — a seed-stage startup and a Series B company both might want an "Interim CFO," but one needs a day a week and the other needs three. The price ranges above reflect the typical days/month for each tier; an exact number gets fixed once we've scoped what you need.
Yes — that's the point of pricing by days per month rather than a fixed package. Many clients start at the reporting tier and move up around a fundraise or a growth inflection point, then scale back down once things stabilize.
Yes. Bookkeeping (Backoffice as a Service) is the transactional layer — categorizing, reconciling, filing. Interim leadership sits above that: interpreting the numbers, owning the close process, or driving strategy. Many clients use both together.
Tell me a bit about your situation — I'll tell you honestly which tier fits, or if you don't need one yet.
