Fractional CFO

Trachet’s Fractional CFO services give you senior-level financial leadership without the full-time overhead. We work alongside founders and leadership teams to bring clarity to the numbers, structure to decisions, and confidence to growth.

We provide strategic support on:

  • We help you clearly understand where cash is coming from, where it’s going, and how long it lasts. You get forward-looking visibility into runway, burn, and funding needs - so there are no surprises.

  • Big decisions shouldn’t be made on gut feel alone. We partner with leadership to evaluate trade-offs, model outcomes, and make informed choices around hiring, pricing, expansion, and investments.

  • We build budgets and forecasts that are practical, flexible, and tied to how you actually operate. No static spreadsheets - just tools that help you adjust as the business evolves.

  • Whether you’re considering debt, equity, or a mix of both, we help you understand your options and choose the right path. From preparation to execution, we make sure financing decisions support long-term growth.

  • We build models that help you pressure-test decisions before you make them. Understand best-case, worst-case, and most-likely outcomes across growth, costs, and cash.

  • We turn financial data into clear, digestible reporting for boards and stakeholders. You’ll know what to show, how to explain it, and how to answer the tough questions.

  • We help define and track the metrics that actually matter to your business. Clear KPIs mean better decisions, faster course-correction, and fewer blind spots.
