Outsourced CFO Services
An outsourced CFO, often called a fractional CFO, gives you executive finance leadership on a part-time, ongoing basis, so the biggest decisions in your business stop waiting for a hire you are not ready to make. Still North provides outsourced CFO services to growing companies across New England and nationwide, backed by a full specialist team.
When You Need This
The signs you have outgrown advice and need leadership
Certain moments make the gap obvious. A lender or investor starts asking questions your reports cannot answer. Pricing feels like guesswork while margins drift. An acquisition is on the table and nobody on your team has run one. Or the business has simply grown past the point where the owner can carry finance strategy alone at night.
None of those moments require a full-time CFO's salary, bonus, and equity.
They require CFO-level judgment and experience, applied consistently. That’s the job.
This is you if...
- Lenders or investors are asking questions your reports can't answer
- Pricing feels like guesswork while margins quietly drift
- An acquisition is on the table and no one has run one before
- You're carrying finance strategy alone, at night, on top of everything else
What Your Fractional CFO Owns
Executive finance leadership, scoped to your business
01
Capital structure and capital raises
How the business is financed, what debt and equity should look like, and how to approach lenders and investors with numbers that hold up.
02
Pricing and margin strategy
Where profit is actually made and lost, and what to change to protect and expand it.
03
Acquisitions
Evaluating targets, modeling the deal, and making sure the numbers behind a purchase are real before you commit.
04
Board and investor communication
Reporting that reads like it came from a full finance function, because it did.
The forward view: working with our FP&A team so forecasts, budgets, and scenarios feed real decisions instead of sitting in a file.
The Still North Difference
A CFO backed by specialists, not stretched across every task
Most firms sell you one senior person and stretch them across strategy, forecasting, and the monthly close. We built Still North the other way. Your fractional CFO stays on executive judgment, while FP&A analysts carry the modeling and a controller owns the close. The CFO you are paying for spends their hours on CFO work.
See how this plays out on the Controller and Bookkeeping pages.
FAQ
Common questions about outsourced CFO services
What is the difference between a fractional CFO and an interim CFO?
How much does a fractional CFO cost?
Engagements are scoped to what your business actually needs, and the total lands well below the salary, bonus, and equity of a full-time hire. We will walk through the model with you on the intro call.
Is my company big enough for a fractional CFO?
Our best-fit clients run between roughly $3M and $50M in revenue. If you are near that range and finance leadership is the bottleneck, the intro call will tell us both quickly whether it makes sense.
