Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Growth Leadership for Auburndale Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. A fractional Chief Growth Officer takes the whole engine and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
In Short
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Auburndale firms hire one?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO orchestrates across the silos — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention pulling toward one revenue number instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm

Representative Outcomes
Representative growth engagements
Representative of what one accountable owner can change.
At a $28M PI firm, heavy spend brought leads but qualified prospects leaked between marketing, intake, and follow-up with no one owning the funnel. We built one scoreboard, pulled speed-to-lead under five minutes, and ran a consultative follow-up cadence.
At a $5M employment firm, demand was strong but follow-up was hit-or-miss and every team reported its own numbers. We stood up a unified scoreboard and a BD cadence on one conversion target.
Roughly 35% and 25% lifts, respectively, with no added budget.
