The Fractional CFO
CPA Australia (New Zealand operations)
About this session
This webinar explores the Fractional CFO model, where executive-level financial expertise is provided on a part-time, project-based, or advisory basis. Speakers will discuss the role's responsibilities, how it differs from traditional full-time CFOs, business scenarios where it provides strategic value, and considerations for organisations at different growth stages.
Learning Outcomes
Explain the role and responsibilities of a Fractional CFO and how the position differs from a traditional full-time CFO. Identify business scenarios where a Fractional CFO can provide strategic value through financial leadership, governance, and decision support. Evaluate the benefits and considerations of the Fractional CFO model for organisations at different stages of growth.
About the Event
The traditional perception of a CFO as a full-time executive is evolving. Businesses are turning to the Fractional CFO model to access strategic financial leadership flexibly and cost-effectively. This model is particularly valuable for startups, SMEs, and growing businesses requiring strategic finance support but not yet needing a full-time CFO.
