Office of the CFO

Fractional CFO Services

Ongoing principal-led CFO capability for private businesses that need stronger finance leadership before a full-time executive hire is justified.

When this helps

Recognisable situations.

  1. 01

    The owner is carrying the CFO role

    Decisions on cash, hiring, pricing and capital still depend on one person without a senior finance counterpart.

  2. 02

    The business has outgrown the controller model

    Accounting may be reliable while planning, analysis and board support remain underdeveloped.

  3. 03

    Investors or lenders require a higher standard

    Reporting and forecasting must become consistent without overbuilding the function.

  4. 04

    A transaction or expansion is approaching

    The finance function needs to prepare while continuing to run the business.

Questions

Common engagement questions.

How is this different from an outsourced accounting service?

The mandate centres on executive judgement, planning, cash, capital and decisions rather than transaction processing.

When should a company hire a full-time CFO instead?

When the recurring scope, team size and decision load justify permanent executive capacity; Thyor can help define and recruit that role.
