FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fractional CFO, and how is it different from a full-time CFO?

A fractional CFO provides part-time, flexible financial leadership, unlike a full-time CFO who works exclusively for one company. For construction entrepreneurs, a fractional CFO delivers ROI by optimizing cash flow, controlling costs, and improving profitability without the expense of a full-time hire.

How can a fractional CFO help my rural construction business?

Mid-sized construction businesses, including general contractors, specialty trades, and heavy civil contractors, benefit most from fractional CFO services. These firms often lack in-house financial expertise but need strategic support for cash flow management, project profitability, and growth planning without committing to the cost of a full-time CFO.

What types of businesses benefit most from fractional CFO services?

Construction businesses with annual revenues between $2 million and $30 million benefit most from fractional CFO services, as they often outgrow basic financial management but can't justify the cost of a full-time CFO, needing strategic guidance on cash flow, profitability, and scaling operations.

How is a fractional CFO team different than my internal finance team?

A fractional CFO service provides high-level strategic financial leadership, focusing on growth, profitability, and long-term planning, while an internal finance team typically handles day-to-day tasks like bookkeeping, payroll, and invoicing. The fractional CFO complements the team by delivering expertise without the full-time cost of an executive hire.

What am I committing to by contracting a fractional CFO team?

As a construction company owner, you'll need to commit to regular collaboration, sharing financial data, and implementing recommended strategies. Engaging with our fractional CFO is done through a 12 month contract that ensures tailored insights and actionable plans are delivered to optimize cash flow, control costs, and drive sustainable growth.

How is a fractional CFO team different than my external CPA firm?

A fractional CFO team focuses on proactive financial strategy, cash flow management, and operational insights to drive growth, while a CPA firm typically provides compliance services like tax filing and audits. The CFO team works closely with you to enhance profitability and long-term planning.

Is industry specialization important for fractional CFO services?

Our specialization in construction helps us understand various segments of the industry and how they perform differently in terms of revenue generation, direct costs, overhead, investments and financing. You owe it to yourself to work with a specialized team. Furthermore, we specialize in the needs of rural businesses and we enjoy working with them.
