A fractional CFO's judgement, a few days a month.
A full-time CFO in Ireland costs €160,000–€280,000 a year once salary, employer PRSI and benefits are counted. Most growing businesses don't need that. They need someone who owns the numbers, reads them properly, and turns them into decisions.
- Rolling 13-week cash flow forecast
- Monthly reporting pack on a fixed date
- No employer PRSI, pension or notice period
- Scale up, down, or off with a month's notice
What a fractional CFO actually does here.
What we deliverCash flow management
A rolling 13-week forecast, updated and reviewed with you, so you see pressure building weeks before it arrives — not the morning it does.
Budgeting & forecasting
An annual budget your team actually uses, re-forecast quarterly against what is really happening in the business.
Management reporting
A monthly pack — P&L, cash, KPIs, commentary — delivered on a fixed date, written for decision-makers rather than for filing.
Fundraising & grant support
Models, projections and data rooms for investors, banks and Enterprise Ireland applications. We prepare you for the questions before they're asked.
Board & investor reporting
If you have external shareholders or a board, we build the reporting rhythm that keeps them confident and off your back.
Systems & controls
The right accounting stack, approval controls and month-end process so the numbers are reliable enough to run the business on.
When it makes sense — and when it doesn't.

Fractional vs interim vs your accountant
The difference mattersFractional CFO
A few days a month, indefinitely, growing with the business. Right when the need is strategic and continuous.
Interim CFO
Covers a departure, a sale, a crisis. Right when the need is urgent and total — wrong when it isn't, because you'll pay full-time rates for part-time need.
Your accountant
Accounts, tax, filings — essential, and we work alongside them, not instead of them. A CFO looks forward: forecasts, funding, decisions.
