FRACTIONAL CFO

Experienced CFO Guidance for Sustainable Growth

Not every business requires a full-time CFO. True North CFOs provides fractional leadership that delivers strategic direction, reliable reporting, and data-driven decisions. We operate as your trusted partner to advance growth and strengthen governance without a long-term headcount commitment.

C-Level Finance, Tailored to You.

True North CFOs brings the strategic firepower your business needs:

Strategic Planning & Execution: Align finance with your vision and turn plans into results.
Forecasting & Modeling: Build precise, driver-based forecasts and run smart scenario analyses.
Cash Flow Strategy: Optimize liquidity to fund growth, navigate bumps, and seize opportunities.
Performance Intelligence: Turn data into decisions—profitability, unit economics, and efficiency.
Capital Strategy Support: Raise, invest, or exit with investor-grade guidance and materials.
Stakeholder Reporting: Clear, compelling narratives for boards, investors, and lenders.

How We Help:

We operate as part of your leadership team—designing the roadmap, building the models, and installing the discipline that keeps execution on track. From cash management to capital strategy, we translate complex financials into actionable insights so you can move faster with confidence.

Is It Time for a Fractional CFO?

There’s no magic revenue threshold, but many companies at $2M+ ARR see outsized value from fractional leadership. The better signal is complexity. If any of these sound familiar, bringing in True North CFOs can create immediate clarity and momentum:

Cash flow strain from slow invoicing or collections
Gaps in reporting/KPIs that hinder decision-making
Planned expansion—new locations, products, or markets
M&A or major CapEx on the horizon
Thin in-house finance bench that can’t support growth

What You Can Expect from True North CFOs:

With True North CFOs, you’ll have a dedicated finance leader embedded with your team—communicating clearly, setting a prioritized plan with measurable milestones, and collaborating seamlessly with internal leaders and external partners (banks, CPAs, counsel). You’ll gain unambiguous visibility into your position and trajectory through disciplined cash management, driver-based KPIs, and board-ready reporting, so decisions are faster and execution stays on track.
