Fractional Finance Directors: Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fractional Finance Director?

A Fractional Finance Director is a finance professional who works on a part-time basis with a business, in order to develop, manage and implement their financial strategy. Fractional or interim Finance Directors are able to provide strategic advice, based on a wide scope of knowledge in areas including compliance, financial planning, and organisational management.

What is the role of a Fractional Finance Director?

The role of an outsourced Fiance Director is to help an organisation make positive progress towards its financial goals, through planning, market analysis, and leadership. Due to their experience and background in financial services, Fractional FDs are best-placed to advise business owners and executives on the best steps they can take to grow and scale their business.

How many hours does a Part-Time Finance Director work?

The number of hours or days that a fractional or part-time Finance Director works will depend upon their agreement with their employer. Whereas some businesses require an outsourced or interim Finance Director to be in place for only two or three days a month, some businesses may require an experienced professional for three or four days a week. The available working hours will vary depending on the individual, as well as the needs of the business.

What businesses can benefit from Fractional Finance Services?

There are a wide range of businesses, including start-ups, small businesses, and enterprise-level operations, who may benefit from hiring a Fractional Finance Director. Some common reasons that our clients choose our interim or outsourced Finance Director services include:

  • Scaling up. Start-ups and businesses looking to hire more individuals and expand their operations, but require guidance on how to scale up whilst maintaining strong cashflow.
  • Organisational changes. Some companies use Fractional FDs to provide interim support to their finance department, in cases where their existing directors must take a leave of absence.
  • Seeking guidance and advice. Part-time Financial Directors offer a bespoke service and professional insights that other options such as short-term consulting services may lack. By integrating within your team and working alongside them, a Fractional FD can help to develop and implement your strategy throughout the term of their contract.
  • Performance response. Following unfortunate events such as a poor audit or a breach of compliance, Fractional Finance Directors can be an invaluable resource to help realign your department, and restore a good standard of performance to be maintained.

Can I hire a Part-Time Finance Director from within our industry?

Whilst our part-time and interim Finance Directors are highly adaptable and are able to take on a wide range of roles, we always try to find the most suitable candidate for your business needs. At Hire CFO, our team will take into account your industry, the history of your company, and your business goals as we search for your prospective Fractional Finance Director.

What qualifications does a Fractional Finance Director typically have?

The majority of our candidates for the role of Fractional Finance Directors possess degree-level qualifications in either accounting or finance. However, most importantly, our part-time Financial Director candidates must have proven experience in director-level finance roles and expert knowledge in accounting, organisational management, and compliance.

Although we have many part-time Finance Director candidates with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in finance, we also pay attention to their work history, and any other relevant qualifications and certifications, to ensure you are matched with a verifiable expert in the field.
