What does a fractional CFO cost?

How fractional CFO pricing works, what makes it go up or down, and why ours stays competitive.

It depends on what your business needs. Perry & Partners prices every engagement individually, either as a fixed price for a single project or a monthly fee for ongoing support. Because AI and modern tools do much of the manual work, our pricing is very competitive with traditional finance support. Exact pricing comes in a written quote after a short, free call.

What drives the cost

  • How clean your books are. Current, reconciled books mean less cleanup before the real work starts.
  • How complex the business is. Multiple revenue lines, locations, entities, inventory, or debt add work.
  • How often you need it. A one‑time forecast costs less than a forecast refreshed every month.
  • How much decision support you want. A monthly report is lighter than having someone on call for every big decision.

Why our pricing is competitive

Much of traditional finance work is manual: exporting data, rebuilding the same report every month, copying numbers into a dashboard. We use AI and up‑to‑date tools to automate that work, which cuts the hours each deliverable takes. That means:

  • More of the time you pay for goes to analysis and advice, not data entry.
  • Recurring reports and dashboards cost less to keep running.
  • CFO‑level work is within reach for businesses that couldn't justify it before.

Common questions

How much does a fractional CFO cost?
It depends on scope. Perry & Partners prices each engagement individually: a fixed price for project work like a cash flow forecast, or a monthly fee for ongoing support. You get a written quote before any work starts.
Is a fractional CFO cheaper than a full-time CFO?
Yes. You pay for the work your business needs, not a full‑time salary, benefits, and payroll taxes. That's the main reason fractional CFOs exist.
Why is Perry & Partners' pricing competitive?
We use AI and modern tools to handle data pulls, recurring reports, and dashboard refreshes. That cuts the hours each deliverable takes, and we pass those savings on in our pricing.
Do you charge for the first call?
No. The first conversation is free, and so is the Profit Check.
