Fractional CFO and COO leadership, without a full-time salary line.
Executive-level financial and operational leadership for nonprofits expanding programs, preparing for major funding, or navigating a leadership transition. Same seniority a full-time hire would bring. A fraction of the hours, and none of the recruiting risk.
When to bring in a Fractional CFO or COO.
Executive Directors reach for this practice when the finance operation has outgrown the bookkeeper, when a board wants tighter reporting, when a program is scaling faster than the general ledger, or when a Finance Director search will take longer than the audit window allows.
