Fractional Chief Growth Officer
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Florence-Graham Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Florence-Graham firms hire one?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business a few days a week rather than full-time. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO sits above 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.
- Top-tier growth leadership at a fraction — roughly 20–40% — of a full-time CGO
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms where the teams don’t share one number
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Revenue Relay
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
Each team runs hard, but leads cool in the handoffs. A CGO owns the whole relay and the one number it feeds.
Demand
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Where Revenue Leaks
What changes when one owner runs the number
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.

- Good leads slip between teams
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- No one owns the revenue number
Aligned
