What is the right time for a startup to hire a Fractional CFO?

Most startups are ready for a fractional CFO somewhere between their Seed round and Series A, but the ideal timing can vary based on a startup’s specific needs and growth trajectory. Generally, as your business starts to secure funding, experiences rapid growth, or faces complex financial challenges, it becomes prudent to engage a Fractional CFO. Early involvement allows your CFO to contribute proactively to financial planning and laying a robust foundation for future scalability.
