Can I scale a fractional CFO up or down depending on what we need?

Flexibility is built into fractional CFO engagements by design. A typical arrangement might start at two days per week, expand to full-time during a fundraising process or transaction, and step back down once that phase is complete. At Peak Consulting, we have operated across the full range — from one day per week for a smaller operational engagement to twelve months at full-time to lead a private equity transaction. The ability to adjust without the administrative and legal complexity of changing a permanent employment contract is a significant practical advantage, particularly for businesses going through periods of change.
