Fractional CFO Services

Part-time CFO leadership for organisations that need stronger financial visibility, better reporting and ongoing strategic support
We provide ongoing Fractional CFO support for not-for-profits, charities, founder-led businesses and growing organisations that need senior financial leadership without the cost of a full-time CFO.
Working closely with CEOs, executive teams and boards, we help organisations strengthen forecasting, improve reporting, support better commercial decisions and build a finance function that can keep pace with growth.
​
When organisations engage a Fractional CFO
Organisations usually engage a Fractional CFO when the business is operating, growing and making decisions, but the finance function has not yet matured enough to provide the level of insight, forecasting and leadership now required.
​
Common triggers include:
-
Cashflow is unclear or forecast discipline is weak
-
Board and management reporting is too detailed, too late or not decision-ready
-
The CEO is carrying too much financial responsibility alone
-
Growth has increased complexity, but the finance function has not kept pace
-
The business needs regular CFO input each month, but not a full-time executive hire
-
The business needs CFO-level support without the cost of a full-time executive
-
Bookkeeping, tax and compliance are being handled, but no one is leading the bigger financial picture
Forecasting, budgeting and financial planning
As a Fractional CFO, I help organisations turn strategy into an ongoing financial rhythm through budgeting, forecasting and decision support that leadership can use month by month.
​
This includes building realistic budgets, improving forecast discipline, reviewing funding assumptions and aligning financial measures to the goals that matter most.


Cashflow, performance and operational visibility
I help organisations improve cashflow forecasting, understand performance trends and create clearer financial visibility across the business.
​
This ongoing CFO support helps leaders make informed trade-offs, track performance more confidently and allocate resources with greater discipline.
Board reporting, governance and financial oversight
Clear, board-ready reporting is central to effective governance. I help boards, CEOs and executive teams move from dense reporting to clearer financial insight, so they can focus on the decisions that matter.
This strengthens oversight, improves governance and supports more confident financial decision-making.


Commercial support as the organisation grows
Organisations often engage me when growth, increasing complexity or new strategic priorities have outpaced the capability of the existing finance function.
I provide ongoing financial leadership that helps organisations make better decisions, improve discipline and move through growth with more confidence.
Scenario planning, modelling and financial decision support
I support CEOs and boards with the analysis behind major decisions, helping them evaluate options, understand risk and move forward with greater clarity.
This may include scenario planning, financial modelling and advice around growth, restructuring, funding or investment priorities.


Stronger finance capability and internal confidence
A key part of my Fractional CFO approach is strengthening internal capability. I help finance teams, Treasurers and executive leaders improve financial understanding, build confidence in reporting and create a more resilient finance function over time.
Together, these capabilities provide organisations with ongoing Fractional CFO support that strengthens forecasting, improves reporting and brings regular senior financial leadership into the business.
Why organisations choose a Fractional CFO model
A Fractional CFO model suits organisations that need regular senior financial leadership, but do not need or want a full-time CFO. It provides strategic support, stronger reporting and better financial oversight in a way that is commercially practical and scalable.
Managed finance support when you need broader execution
For some organisations, CFO support alone is not enough. They also need reliable delivery underneath it.
​
Where appropriate, Diamond Advisory can support a broader finance model including:
-
bookkeeping
-
payroll support
-
tax and compliance coordination
-
reporting support
-
finance administration improvement
This gives organisations a more connected finance function, with senior oversight at the top and dependable execution underneath.
