By this, we mean the life-changing numbers that enable business owners to achieve targets as well as work-life balance.

That covers everything from helping you invest in the right programmes that achieve growth in profits as well as maximising your employee engagement score, to recognising that, while margins might drive business success, trying to get to a school parent’s evening appointment shouldn’t be stressful.

Here’s what people ask us about working with fractional CFOs in Southampton:

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 Southampton?

Engaging a part-time or fractional CFO in Southampton offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness while still providing top-tier financial expertise. We have CFOs with experience across a range of sectors, from the marine sector to hospitality and professional services, and being based in Southampton 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.
