Experience working with fractional CFO's

Hello SF Community,

I was wondering what is your experience with fractional CFO's, and does anyone in the community have  recommendations? We are looking to hire a CFO, and we're wondering is it better to bring them in house, or an alternative method.

Hi - so far you have gotten some good comments. I've been operating in both fractional and interim CFO roles for the last 18 years. I agree with ^Searchfunder member‌ that the model works if you are looking for someone to play a financial oversight and leadership role. Determining and implementing long-term strategy might be more suited to a full-time role in-house. Happy to explore possibilities if you would like to chat.

We work with Saman and highly recommend her and her team. Checkout https://services.vasl.team/#vasl-offers -we work with them across our holdco companies in a "back office" BPaaS ("done for you") model. We tell them what we need and they bring the talent, process and software and "get it done" -either as a project or ongoing. Highly recommended.
