Strong Fit
When the business has outgrown basic accounting reports.

The relationship works best when leadership values timely information, direct communication, and accountability around the financial function.
Common Questions
Fractional CFO — Common Questions
What does a fractional CFO actually do day to day?
The work centers on decision support and disciplined financial management: reviewing monthly financials and KPIs, maintaining cash-flow visibility, guiding pricing, financing, staffing, and growth decisions, and holding the accounting function accountable on close, reporting, and follow-up—on a consistent cadence rather than only at year-end.
How much does a fractional CFO cost compared to a full-time hire?
A fractional engagement is scoped to the support the business actually needs, so it costs a fraction of a full-time CFO's salary and benefits. Dansby CFO+ defines scope and cadence up front, with pricing discussed in a confidential conversation based on the size and complexity of the business.
Will a fractional CFO replace our bookkeeper or accountant?
No. A fractional CFO works alongside the existing accounting team, providing oversight and senior financial leadership. Dansby CFO+ strengthens the close, reporting, and accountability of your current staff rather than replacing them.
