Most owner-led businesses need CFO-level or COO-level judgment years before they can justify the salary. A fractional executive gives you the operator without the $300K+ package; an interim executive bridges a sudden gap while you hire right instead of fast.
A CFO, COO, or CEO-level operator embedded in your business a set number of days per month, quarter after quarter. They own outcomes — the forecast, the operating cadence, the turnaround — not deliverables.
A key executive left, and the seat can't sit empty. An interim operator stabilizes the function within two to three weeks, runs it as long as needed, and hands off cleanly to the permanent hire.
Every fractional engagement pairs naturally with an advisory board — the board sets direction, the fractional executive drives execution.
