Done with you
Finance leadership without a full-time hire.
Monthly close, variance reporting, board pack production, fundraising prep. AI-enhanced workflows behind the scenes, finance discipline up front.
Book a consultationWhat this is
Senior finance brain, on retainer.
A fractional CFO is the answer when you need senior finance thinking but cannot justify a full-time hire. I work as your part-time finance lead: closing the books, producing the reports that your board and investors actually want to read, and answering the strategic finance questions that come up between meetings.
What makes this different from a typical fractional engagement: I operate behind the scenes with the same AI-driven workflows used in the rest of Claw Setup Support's services. Faster turnarounds, cleaner artifacts, the same finance rigor you would expect from a senior in-house hire.
What's typically covered
Where I show up.
Monthly close
Variance reporting, narrative commentary tied to recurring vs. one-time drivers, clean handoff to your management team.
Board reporting
Quarterly board pack production. KPI selection, segment P&L, cash and runway, hiring updates, narrative.
FP&A
Live dashboards for actual vs. forecast on revenue, gross margin, opex, and cash. Updated weekly.
Fundraising prep
Data room, financial model, diligence Q&A support. The unglamorous work that makes raises close faster.
Audit support
Workpaper preparation, auditor request management, technical accounting questions.
Ad-hoc advisory
The strategic finance questions that come up between meetings. Pricing, unit economics, scenario modeling.
Engagement
Engagement structure.
Fractional CFO engagements are scoped per client. Pricing depends on:
- Company stage and complexity
- Frequency of close and reporting (monthly vs. quarterly)
- Whether you need board pack production
- Whether the engagement includes fundraising support
Standard engagements run as a monthly retainer. The first consultation is always free and produces a written scope with pricing. No pressure to proceed.
