In Short

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

A fractional CFO for a law firm brings senior financial leadership part-time — taking the budget, forecasts, cash flow, margin analysis, partner comp, and reporting off the owners’ plate. Instead of carrying a $300,000–$500,000+ full-time CFO, the firm gets that strategy for a fixed monthly fee. The work is turning messy financials into clear decisions: which practice areas truly earn, what spend is justified, when the next hire is safe, and how to hold cash through the swings of contingency or matter-based work.

  • Executive finance leadership for a fraction of a full-time CFO’s price
  • Tuned to how firms really earn: contingency, trust accounting, WIP, and case-level margin
  • Turns backward-looking books into forward-looking decisions on hiring, marketing, and growth
