Financial Leadership for Greenacres City Law Firms Without a Full-Time CFO
Record billings don’t help if you can’t see the margin underneath them. We bring forecasting, cash-flow discipline, and profitability analysis so the numbers tell you what to fund, cut, and hire.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CFO do for a law firm?
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. Rather than a $300,000–$500,000+ full-time hire, the firm gets that strategy for a fixed monthly fee. Day to day, it’s converting raw numbers into decisions you can act on: what’s actually profitable, how much marketing you can afford, when to hire, and how to keep cash steady 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
- Tuned to how firms really earn: contingency, trust accounting, WIP, and case-level margin
- Moves you from recording the past to deciding the future
Why Growth Isn’t Profit
Where law-firm profit quietly leaks
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.
