Frequently asked questions
What does a fractional controller cost?
A dedicated controller starts at $9,143 a month, full time across your US business day, on an annual commitment invoiced monthly. A fractional controller is scoped and quoted for the hours and responsibilities you need.
Fractional controller or fractional CFO: which do we need?
A controller owns the accounting itself: the close, controls and reporting that make the numbers right. A fractional CFO works ahead of the numbers, on forecasts, cash planning and decisions. If your numbers are not yet reliable, start with the controller.
