Hire signals
Most companies wait too long. If two or more of these sound familiar, a fractional CFO usually pays for itself within a quarter.
You're closing deals, but you can't explain exactly where the cash went at month end. A CFO builds the cash flow visibility bookkeeping alone doesn't give you.
A board deck request or a data room checklist reveals gaps in your financial reporting that a part-time controller can't fill under deadline.
Fundraising rounds move faster with a defensible financial model and a data room prepared in advance, not assembled during diligence.
Nobody on the team can quote your CAC payback period or gross margin by product line without pulling numbers manually.
Your bookkeeper can close the books, but board strategy, scenario planning, and capital allocation calls need a different skill set entirely.
Forecasts, board packs, and cash decisions keep landing on the founder's desk at night. A fractional CFO takes that off the critical path without a full-time hire.
How we keep your strategic finance operation steady – so board meetings, investor updates, and capital decisions are grounded in defensible numbers.
Every forecast assumption traced to source data. When investors or the board ask "where did this come from?", the answer is one click away – not a scramble.
Board packs and investor updates delivered on a predictable cycle – finished before the meeting starts, not assembled during it.
Every recommendation accounts for runway, dilution, and unit economics – so spend and hiring decisions protect your next round, not just this quarter.
Questions
A fractional CFO is a senior finance leader who works with your company part time, handling budgeting, cash flow forecasting, board reporting and fundraising support at a fraction of the cost of a full time hire. It suits companies that have outgrown bookkeeping but cannot yet justify a 3 to 5 million THB annual CFO salary.
Common signals: revenue is growing but cash still feels tight at month end, investors are asking for reports you cannot produce, you are preparing to raise capital, pricing and unit economics decisions are being made on instinct, or the founder is still acting as CFO after hours. If two of these apply, a fractional CFO usually pays for itself.
