Why Fractional CFOs Are Essential for Startups

Fractional CFOs, part-time CFOs, on-demand CFOs…whatever you may call them, a fractional CFO is a valuable asset to your startup. Whether you need early funding assistance or guidance for your IPO, hiring an outside finance executive with years of experience can fill a gap or provide fresh perspective for your business. At Ravix Group, you’ll find seasonal consultants with years of experience acting as CFOs for startups in numerous industries.

If you’re still in the beginning stages of your new venture, you may not have a full-time CFO. Hiring a fractional CFO for your startup can save time and money on recruitment, compensation, and benefits. When complex financial questions come up, hire astute executives who know how to handle investors, bankers, and vendors.

Do you need a new financial forecast or assistance reaching new markets? Work with the top firm in Silicon Valley to achieve growth and capital goals or overcome financial roadblocks.

Why Hire a Fractional CFO?

Often, startups have their cash tied up in product development and customer acquisition. It’s not surprising if you can’t budget for a full-time CFO. This is one of the main reasons startups hire fractional CFOs.
