Senior finance for D2C brands, part time
A fractional CFO gives you the judgement of a finance lead for a fraction of a full-time salary. Each service below stands alone; most brands start with the diagnostic and a monthly retainer.
Fractional CFO
Your senior finance lead, working in your weekly rhythm with the founders and team.
- Weekly or fortnightly check-ins on spend, cash and trading
- A monthly finance review with the founders
- Sign-off support on large inventory orders, hires and ad budget changes
- A single person accountable for the numbers
Contribution margin by SKU and channel
What each product and each sales channel actually earns once every variable cost is counted.
- Profit per order after discounts, landed product cost, shipping and 3PL, payment fees and returns
- The same view after marketing spend, by channel
- The SKUs, bundles and promotions that cost you money
- A model your team can refresh each month
Useful when growth has not turned into profit, or before a price or range review.
