Fractional CFO firm

Experts in fractional CFO support

Hire a fractional CFO for your SME

We’re a collective of expert finance professionals looking to become your long-term partner for financial and business success.

Fractional finance, done properly

There are only a handful of companies in the UK offering fractional CFO support for SMEs and even fewer who tailor that support to the real needs of your business.

At The Finance People, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. That’s why we take the time to understand your setup, priorities and goals before matching you with the right level of financial leadership, whether that’s a fractional CFO, Financial Controller, or Finance Manager.

Some clients start with a CFO on a project basis before transitioning to a more cost-effective FC for ongoing support. Others benefit from strategic input on a monthly or quarterly basis, while keeping day-to-day finances in-house.

The difference is, we’ll never recommend more than you actually need. Just the right fit, for the right stage of your business.

A simple, strategic process built around your business.

01

Understand the root problem

We’ll start by understanding what’s holding your business back — whether it’s cash flow, lack of visibility, messy reporting, or simply too much on your plate.

02

Match you with the right CFO or expert

We’ll pair you with a fractional CFO who has the right experience, personality and sector fit — someone who can hit the ground running and feel like part of your team.

03

Set the financial priorities

Together, we’ll define what success looks like — and create a clear, actionable plan to strengthen your financial foundations and drive confident decisions.

04

Flex the support as you grow

Whether you need a few days a month or more hands-on involvement, your CFO flexes with your needs — scaling support up or down as your business evolves.
