Having access to expert financial guidance is crucial, but not every organization needs a full-time CFO. I have talked to numerous founders who have or are exploring using Fractional CFO services to gain financial expertise for their businesses. Common questions I have been asked include: - When is the right time to hire a Fractional CFO vs an in-house Finance hire? - What does the modern finance tech stack look like? - How hands-on should Fractional CFOs be? - What trends are happening across companies based on industries and company sizes? To further explore this, we got leaders from leading Fractional CFO firms like Scalable CFO, RORA, Burkland, and FinStrat Management, Inc. together to share their thoughts and insights from the hundreds of portfolio companies they support. I am excited to moderate this panel featuring Connor Abene, Dan Hully, Debbie Cohen Rosler, Kristian Marquez, CFA as we explore the world of Fractional CFOs and how they were able to successfully help their clients manage their finances, supercharge their businesses, and provide strategic guidance on all facets of growth/operations. This will be a highly engaging and informative discussion! Link in the comments to register 👇
