The Short Version

What is a fractional CFO, and why do Delhi firms hire one?

A fractional CFO is an executive finance leader who works part-time — owning budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow management, profitability analysis, partner compensation, and reporting. Rather than a $300,000–$500,000+ full-time hire, the firm gets executive finance leadership on a predictable monthly fee. Day to day, it’s converting raw numbers into decisions you can act on: which practice areas truly earn, what spend is justified, when the next hire is safe, and how to hold cash through the natural peaks and troughs of contingency and matter-based revenue.

  • Executive finance leadership for a fraction of a full-time CFO’s price
  • Built for law-firm economics — contingency, trust accounting, WIP, and case-level margin
  • Moves you from recording the past to deciding the future
