Cheaper Than a Fractional CFO

You don't need a fractional CFO to see your next 13 weeks of cash.

Fractional CFO services provide senior financial expertise on a part-time basis — strategic planning, board reporting, M&A support, and yes, cash flow management. For most small service businesses that just need a working 13-week forecast and someone to set it up correctly, a fractional CFO engagement is more than necessary and more than affordable.

What fractional CFO services does well

Fractional CFO services provide senior financial leadership part-time — typically at $150–$400/hour or $2,000–$6,000/month. They're valuable for businesses that need ongoing strategic finance support, fundraising preparation, board reporting, or complex financial modeling.

Fractional CFOs cost $2,000–$6,000/month for ongoing engagements

Most small service businesses don't need $3,000/month of financial leadership — they need a working cash flow model. The Sprint delivers the core deliverable at $750 once.

Fractional CFO onboarding takes weeks, not 72 hours

A fractional CFO needs time to understand your business before building anything. The Sprint uses a structured intake process to build your model in 72 hours.

The Sprint is a complement to fractional CFO work, not a replacement

If you do have a fractional CFO, the Sprint gives them a starting model to work from — saving them setup time and getting you to actionable insights faster.
