Quick Answer
What does a fractional CFO do for a law firm?
A fractional CFO is an executive finance leader who works 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 executive finance leadership on a predictable 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.
