Fractional COO and CFO

Why You Should Hire a Fractional COO or Fractional CFO

As your business grows, so do the challenges—cash flow becomes harder to manage, daily operations become more complex, and strategic decisions carry greater weight. But hiring a full-time executive may not be realistic for many small businesses. That’s where fractional leadership comes in.

A Fractional CFO or COO provides high-level financial and operational expertise—without the cost of a full-time salary. Whether you need help improving profitability, building systems, or scaling effectively, fractional services give you access to executive-level insight on a flexible basis.

I’m Dr. Paul Borosky, MBA. I specialize in helping small and mid-sized businesses grow smarter by offering Fractional CFO and COO services tailored to your unique needs. From streamlining your operations to strengthening your financial strategy, I’m here to help you lead with clarity and confidence.

What Is a Fractional CFO or Fractional COO?

A Fractional CFO (Chief Financial Officer) and Fractional COO (Chief Operating Officer) are part-time executives who provide the same high-level leadership and expertise as full-time roles—without the full-time cost. These professionals step into your business to guide financial strategy, streamline operations, and support sustainable growth.

• A Fractional CFO focuses on your company’s financial health—overseeing budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, financial reporting, and profitability analysis.

• A Fractional COO improves your operational efficiency—organizing workflows, managing day-to-day operations, and implementing systems that support scalability.

Unlike consultants who address short-term issues, fractional executives integrate into your team to support ongoing decision-making and performance. You get the benefit of seasoned leadership, customized to your business needs, at a fraction of the price of a full-time hire.

Signs You May Need a Fractional CFO or Fractional COO

Not sure if it's time to bring in executive-level help? Many business owners wait too long to get the support they need. Here are some clear indicators that a Fractional CFO or COO could make a big impact:

• You’re losing track of cash flow or struggling with financial clarity.
  Your numbers feel unclear, and you’re unsure how to forecast or budget effectively.

• Daily operations feel chaotic or inefficient.
  Tasks fall through the cracks, systems are inconsistent, and you’re stretched too thin.

• You’re experiencing growth—but without structure.
  Revenue is increasing, but your team, processes, or finances aren’t keeping pace.

• You’re preparing for investment, expansion, or exit.
  You need someone who understands financial modeling, scalability, and strategic planning.

• You need leadership—but not full-time overhead.
  You want experienced guidance without the commitment or cost of a full-time executive.

If any of these resonate with you, it might be time to bring on a Fractional CFO or COO to help move your business forward—strategically and efficiently.
