Here's what people ask us about working with fractional CFOs in London:
What are fractional CFO services?
Let’s start with the basics. A fractional CFO, also known as a part-time CFO, will work with you on an as-required basis. That might be full-time interim to complete a special project, or in a part-time capacity to support your in-house finance team and bring some specialist expertise and high-level business acumen.
What are the benefits of hiring a part-time or fractional CFO in London?
Engaging a part-time or fractional CFO in London offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness while still providing top-tier financial expertise. We have CFOs with experience across a range of sectors, from retail to Fintech, and being based in London also means your CFO can be readily available for in-person support.
What's the difference between the numbers that matter and the numbers that really matter?
At The CFO Centre we define and deliver the numbers that really matter – the life-changing numbers. This may well be extra profit, business growth or reduced costs but, in our experience, it’s just as likely to be a few extra hours to spend with family, or the chance to take some extra days off for a special trip. The point is, we recognise how the commercial business numbers contribute to quality of life.
