Quick Answer
What does a fractional CFO do for a Tamiami law firm?
A fractional CFO for a law firm brings senior financial leadership part-time — owning budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow management, profitability analysis, partner compensation, and reporting. Instead of carrying a $300,000–$500,000+ full-time CFO, the firm gets executive finance leadership on a predictable 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 natural peaks and troughs of contingency and matter-based revenue.
- C-level financial strategy at a fraction of a full-time CFO’s cost
- 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
The Problem
The four places margin disappears
Most margin problems trace back to the same few leaks.
Hidden loss leaders
Work that looks busy but loses money, invisible without case-level margin.
Undisciplined cash
Contingency and matter-based swings turn into month-end scrambles without a forecast.
Comp friction
Comp disputes with no shared math behind them.
Flying blind
Marketing, hiring, and pricing decisions made on gut because the numbers aren’t there.
