Financial Leadership Without the Full-Time Cost
Startups and growing businesses often find themselves at a crossroads—they need strategic financial guidance but aren’t in a position to hire a full-time CFO. That’s where fractional CFO services come into the picture.
Whether you’re trying to raise capital, manage your cash flow, scale operations, or prepare for a merger, a fractional CFO brings the financial expertise you need, at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house.
At Enterslice, we provide scalable CFO solutions that are tailored to the needs of modern businesses. From budgeting and forecasting to investor reporting and compliance, our fractional CFOs work closely with your leadership team to make data-backed financial decisions that drive long-term success.
What Are Fractional CFO Services?
A fractional CFO is a highly experienced finance professional who works with companies on a part-time or contract basis. Instead of bearing the cost of a full-time executive, businesses get access to top-level financial expertise only when they need it.
This model is particularly useful for startups, MSMEs, or companies going through transition periods—like rapid growth, restructuring, or fundraising. A fractional CFO can help streamline financial operations, introduce performance metrics, and implement robust systems that improve decision-making.
At Enterslice, we connect you with CFOs who understand your industry, your business goals, and your financial pain points.
How Fractional CFO Services Can Help Your Business
1. Cash Flow Management and Forecasting
Understanding where your money is going—and when it’s coming in—is critical. Many businesses fail not due to lack of profits, but due to poor cash flow planning. Our CFOs help build accurate cash flow forecasts, ensuring you stay prepared for lean months and high-growth phases.
2. Fundraising and Investor Relations
If you're looking to raise capital, a fractional CFO can prepare investor-ready financial models, pitch decks, and business plans. They can also support due diligence, negotiate terms, and ensure your financials align with investor expectations.
3. Financial Reporting and Compliance
Timely, accurate reporting is essential not only for compliance but also for understanding your company’s performance. Enterslice CFOs can streamline your month-end closing process, generate MIS reports, and help with audits and regulatory filings.
4. Strategic Financial Planning
From setting budgets to evaluating expansion plans or pricing strategies, fractional CFOs act as your financial sounding board. They bring outside perspective and objective advice, rooted in experience and data.
