Unlock financial clarity, smarter decisions, and sustainable growth.
That’s where we come in.
Our fractional CFO team brings high-level financial strategy and leadership without the cost of a full-time CFO.
Let me share something I’ve seen time and again working with growing companies. Bookkeepers track what happened last month, and accountants keep you compliant. But who’s helping you anticipate what’s next? Who’s digging into your numbers to spot risks before you expand? Who’s turning those endless spreadsheets into a clear path forward?
That’s where I come in as a fractional CFO. Picture having a financial expert who’s navigated startups through scaling, secured funding for businesses like yours, and made sense of the chaos that comes with growth. You get all that wisdom without the $250,000-plus salary, benefits, or the hassle of a full-time hire who might not have enough on their plate if your revenue’s between $2 million and $20 million.
My clients are usually founders who’ve bootstrapped past $1 million and want to tighten up their finances, companies gearing up for a funding round, businesses wrestling with cash flow as they grow, or teams who sense their numbers hide a bigger story but don’t know where to start. Sound like you? Keep reading.
Build a financial roadmap that evolves with your business.
Profit on paper doesn’t mean stability. We help you understand your cash position and improve financial health.
Turn data into decisions with reports that tell a story.
When profits lag behind your effort, we help uncover the root cause.
Growth brings opportunity and complexity. We help you prepare your business financially for what’s next.
At Ascension CFO, our goal is simple:
To help you make smarter decisions, build stronger financial systems, and grow with confidence.
| Category | Traditional CFO | Fractional CFO |
|---|---|---|
| Role Structure | Full-time executive, permanently embedded in the company | Part-time or contract-based, engaged as needed |
| Compensation Model | Fixed salary with benefits and bonuses | Flexible pricing — monthly retainer or hourly/project fees |
| Adaptability | Limited flexibility; dedicated to one organization | Highly adaptable; services scale with business needs |
| Experience Scope | Deep knowledge of one company’s operations | Broad insights from working across multiple industries |
| Hiring Timeline | Long recruitment and onboarding process | Quick onboarding — can start within days or weeks |
We have full advisory plans at a monthly rate that depend on the need of your business and hourly consulting services billed at $250 per hour.
Think CFO for hire. All businesses need the guidance of a CFO, and outsourcing this function with a fractional CFO service is a very affordable solution!
Every business needs a CFO, and fractional CFOs are a great solution for smaller businesses. The best thing to do is just schedule a call with us and we can let you know whether you can benefit more from the monthly CFO service or just provide guidance on an hourly basis as needed.
This can depend on what stage or phase your business is currently in and what is needed. Some examples are below.
Using a CFO (Chief Financial Officer) service can provide significant benefits for businesses, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or startups that may not have the resources for a full-time, in-house CFO. Here are the key reasons to consider a CFO service:
Business owners receiving guidance can optimize pricing, area coverage, strategic advice on unique offerings to set a business apart, and much more.
For all businesses it’s a little different, but there are signs that you’re in a danger zone and need help. These are just a few situations that can benefit from a CFO:
With Ascension CFO, we have a very structured system that we follow to ensure that we perform our analysis and meet with business owners and management at least monthly. Since business owners have questions throughout the month, you can simply email us or schedule a meeting anytime that works for you to go over additional questions, changes, etc. We are your CFO on call during business hours!
Let’s get real about costs. A full-time CFO can set you back $200,000-$350,000 in salary, plus benefits and equity. That’s $250,000-$400,000 for one person’s experience. If they’re not a perfect fit, you’re stuck.
With me, you’re looking at $5,000-$15,000 a month, depending on the scope. Say you spend $15,000 monthly—that’s $180,000 a year for strategic guidance at half the cost of a full-time hire. No benefits, no long-term lock-in, and you can scale my time up or down.
But the real value? I bring lessons from dozens of companies across industries. When you’re weighing debt versus equity, I’ve seen that play out in real life, with all its twists. That perspective saved a client from a bad loan deal that would’ve cost them $500,000 in interest.
Plus, I bring fresh eyes. You’re too close to your business to see everything. I ask, “Why do this?” with curiosity, not judgment, and it often unlocks game-changing insights. And unlike a full-time hire, I’m delivering value from day one—no months-long onboarding.
Fractional services also flex with you. Need heavy support during a funding round? I’m there. Need less once you’re executing? I dial back. A full-time CFO makes sense around $20 million-$50 million in revenue. Until then, I give you the strategy without the overhead.
