Fractional CFO Services
Financial leadership for companies that have outgrown their current setup.
Series A–C founders, PE-backed portfolio companies, and growth-stage businesses that need senior financial leadership but are not ready to hire a full-time CFO.
The work
Financial leadership without a full-time hire
Growth-stage companies often outgrow founder-led finance before they are ready for a full-time CFO. Board reporting, cash planning, and fundraise preparation start to require senior judgment every week.
PIF Advisory embeds that leadership inside the existing finance stack: forecasts, controls, investor materials, and an operating cadence that keeps the business decision-ready.

FAQs
What to know before we begin.
The questions operators ask before an engagement starts.
A fractional CFO provides the same strategic financial leadership as a full-time CFO (forecasting, board reporting, fundraise preparation, financial controls) on a part-time or project basis. The engagement is scoped to your stage and needs.
Most companies benefit from fractional CFO support after their first institutional round, when investors begin expecting financial reporting, cash management, and audit-readiness that goes beyond basic bookkeeping.
PIF Advisory engagements are structured as monthly retainers. Scope and pricing are discussed during an initial consultation. There are no published rates because every engagement is different.
Bookkeeping records what happened. A fractional CFO helps you understand what it means, plan for what comes next, and communicate it to your board and investors.
