The questions a founder asks
Runway check
A quick estimate based on your cash and your monthly income and spending. Not advice, but a solid starting point for a conversation.
This is an estimate, not financial advice. In a conversation we make it precise for your situation.
What a fractional CFO does
“Knowing how many months you have, and when to act.”
“Numbers and a story investors can trust.”
“A finance function that grows with you.”
Real-world examples

How we work together
We map your runway, numbers and most important decisions. You know right away where you stand.
We set up forecasting and reporting, with a steady rhythm that fits your stage.
Funding, assumptions, investments: I think along as a CFO, at founder level.
What it costs
You pay for the level of thinking, not for loose hours. Every situation calls for something different: an ongoing role of a few days a month is a very different thing from intensive guidance around a single funding round.
That is why we put together a tailored proposal, with a clear rhythm and a fixed scope, so your budget is predictable and you know exactly where you stand. Curious what it would mean for your situation? We discuss that in a no-obligation conversation.
Frequently asked questions
An interim CFO temporarily replaces a full-time CFO. A fractional CFO is a structural, part-time addition to your team, focused on growth, strategy and building out your finance function, at a fraction of the cost.
A bookkeeper keeps your numbers up to date; a CFO helps you make decisions with them. Those roles complement each other. Want it all under one roof? Confidato can handle the administration too.
As soon as finance becomes strategic: you have investors, you are scaling up, or you are making decisions with a lot of money and risk involved. Early-stage startups that want to become investor-ready are welcome too.
