We have relationships developed over the last 20 years throughout North America in the event multiple members of a C-Suite are required to parachute in to assist in an engagement. We can draw on existing relationships, employees, and other members of C Suite Support to scale at a client’s request for their specific needs. Fractional CFO work is more than a part-time CFO. It is a true discipline to know how to coordinate fractional CFO engagements.
