Ongoing decision partner

Fractional CFO for US growth companies—clarity on cash and what you can afford

An ongoing partner for where money is going, what happens next, and what decisions you can afford—on a monthly rhythm, without full-time cost.

Monter Financial provides remote, part-time CFO-level support for US founders and growing businesses. You get planning, reporting, cash management, and decision support—typically over 6–12+ months—so leadership always knows where it stands before the next move.

Does this sound familiar?

The financial questions behind your next move.

When these questions are unanswered, decisions about growth, spending, and hiring become expensive guesses.

I don't know why cash keeps dropping

Hiring and ads spend feel high risk without a clear model

Reports describe the past but do not guide the next quarter

Need clearer numbers for investors or the board

The business has outgrown bookkeeping alone—and one-off projects are not enough

Frequently asked questions

Answers before you book a call

What does a fractional CFO do?

A fractional CFO provides part-time executive finance leadership. For US growth companies, that commonly includes cash flow and runway planning, budgeting, forecasting, investor or board reporting, and support for hiring, pricing, and growth decisions.

How long do fractional CFO engagements typically last?

Most ongoing partnerships run 6–12 months or longer. Continuity matters: the value compounds as we learn your business and build a reliable monthly finance rhythm with leadership.

When should I hire a fractional CFO?

When your business has outgrown bookkeeping alone—cash is hard to predict, you are raising capital, the board needs clearer reporting, or major growth decisions need reliable financial modeling month after month.

How is a fractional CFO different from an accountant?

Accountants focus on historical accuracy and compliance. A fractional CFO focuses on forward-looking decisions: forecasts, scenarios, cash management, and the financial narrative leadership needs.

How do your fees compare to a full-time CFO?

A full-time US CFO commonly runs $250k–$400k+ in salary and benefits alone. Monter provides hands-on fractional CFO support through a scoped engagement—so you get senior cash clarity and monthly decision partnership without a full-time hire. Exact fees depend on scope and cadence; we discuss fit on the free Health Check and only propose ongoing work if it makes sense.

Is the free Health Check the same as hiring a fractional CFO?

No. The free 30-minute Financial Health Check clarifies your position and next steps. Ongoing fractional CFO support is a separate paid engagement, scoped only if it makes sense after the call.
