What Is a Fractional CFO?

CFO-level strategy, delivered when you need it

A Fractional CFO is a senior financial executive who works with your business on a part-time or fractional basis. Unlike accountants or controllers, a Fractional CFO focuses on strategy, planning, and decision support rather than transaction processing.

This role partners directly with ownership, executive teams, and boards to provide financial leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

With Arena, your Fractional CFO becomes an extension of your leadership team, helping guide critical decisions and long-term strategy.

A Fractional CFO brings structure, foresight, and accountability to financial operations, helping leadership teams make informed decisions before issues arise.

Understanding the difference

Fractional CFO vs Accountant

A Fractional CFO does not replace your accountant. They elevate your financial function.

Accountant / Bookkeeper

  • Records historical data
  • Focuses on compliance
  • Reports what happened
  • Transaction-based
  • Reactive

Fractional CFO

  • Analyzes and interprets data
  • Focuses on strategy
  • Helps decide what happens next
  • Decision-based
  • Proactive

Fractional CFO → Strategic Execution → Financial Clarity → Growth.

Services are available as a fixed project, interim support, or ongoing support.
