This page lists 61 named fractional CFOs. You find one by reading who they serve, shortlisting a few, and opening their practice site. Listed Fractional does not match, rank, or sell quotes. The work of choosing stays with you.
A fractional CFO runs the finance seat part-time: cash, margin, pricing, forecasts, and the numbers a bank or board asks for. They sit on your side of the table. A bookkeeper records what happened. A controller closes the month correctly. A full-time CFO is the same seat at a full-time cost. Founders and agency owners hire fractional when the books are clean but the decisions are not. Longer split: Fractional CFO vs controller vs bookkeeper.
61 rows. On the CFO who-they-serve lines, 12 name agencies. That set is also published as the Fractional CFOs for agencies segment (12 of 61). A search for fractional CFO companies is a list of named operators with a practice URL. A practice is a company. The row is a person. This is not a ranked companies list.
A to Z is not rank. Unclaimed rows show five facts only: name, seat, practice URL, geo, and who they serve. Filter chips are a text match on the published line, not a second ranking. Shortlist two or three in this browser, then open each practice site.
No photos, email, phone, or biographies until an operator claims the row. A claim does not reorder the list. Claim and takedown have equal standing. Claim · Takedown.

What is a fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO is a senior finance leader who works for your company part-time, for a set number of days or hours a month, in the CFO seat. They're on your team, not an outside service you send work to. Most companies bring one in when the books are kept but nobody owns the forecast. That shows up before a raise, when cash gets tight, when a lender or board starts asking harder questions, or when the founder is still the one building the model at night. When the company needs that judgment every day, the same seat becomes a full-time hire.
What they usually own
The cash forecast and the operating budget
The financial model behind a raise, a loan or a big decision
Board and investor reporting
Pricing and unit economics questions
Oversight of the bookkeeper, controller or accounting firm
What they usually don't do
Day-to-day bookkeeping and payroll (that's the bookkeeper or controller)
Sign your tax return (that's your CPA, unless they're also licensed and engaged for it)
Act as an investment banker or broker, unless their practice site says so

Before you reach out
On the practice site, find a named person, a page on how an engagement runs, and a published fee or range. Only 3 of our 397 lines publish a fee; 49 name the client size they work with. The site is where you confirm either.
Read the "who they serve" line as a filter, not a pitch. A CFO who writes "Healthcare, fintech, and SaaS startups pre-seed through Series B" is not talking to a 12-person design studio. Match the sentence to your company before you match the person to your calendar.
Questions founders ask before hiring this seat
What is a fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO is a senior finance leader who holds the CFO seat part-time for a set number of days or hours a month. They own the forward view: cash forecast, budget, model, board reporting, and pricing questions. They sit on your team. A bookkeeper records what happened. A controller closes the month. When you need that judgment every day, the same seat becomes a full-time hire.
What does a fractional CFO actually do for an agency?
A fractional CFO owns the numbers you steer by: the cash forecast, gross margin by client, pricing, utilization, and a monthly close you can read in 10 minutes. For an agency, that means knowing which accounts make money and which ones only make noise. 12 of 61 lines name agencies outright. Read the "who they serve" line to find the ones written for you.
Fractional CFO vs controller vs bookkeeper: what is the difference?
A bookkeeper records what happened. A controller makes sure it was recorded correctly, closes the month, and owns compliance. A CFO decides what happens next: pricing, hiring, cash, debt, and the plan. Hire in that order. A CFO working on messy books spends CFO hours doing controller work at CFO rates. When a practice bundles books plus CFO in one engagement, its who-they-serve line says so.
How is this list sourced?
Every listing starts at the operator's own site. We record five facts. If a fact is wrong, the takedown page fixes it. How every listing is sourced: /about#method.
Which CFO listings are claimed?
2 of 61 CFO listings are claimed; 59 remain unclaimed. Across the site, 9 of 397 listings are claimed; 388 remain unclaimed. Until verified, the listing shows five facts collected from the operator's public site. When an operator claims a listing, the label changes to Claimed with the month. The row does not move.
Is this a list of the "best" fractional CFO companies?
No. Rows are alphabetical. Position is not rank. A companies query here is a named operator plus a practice URL, not a ranked companies list.
Fractional CFO vs a full-time CFO: which one is this?
This page lists fractional CFOs: the same seat, a set number of days a month. A full-time hire is a different job. SuperHired appears on this site only as a labeled house ad for that different job. It does not place the CFOs listed here.
