Best fractional CFOs for $1M to $5M companies
14 firms and practitioners offer fractional CFO work and say they serve $1M to $5M companies. Listings that do not state a revenue band are left off, so the role page is longer. First on the list are FocusCFO, The CFO Centre and Bennett Financials. 7 publish a monthly fee, from $1,600 to $5,000 a month. The other 7 quote.
Most companies bring one in between $2M and $5M in revenue, or earlier when they raise money, take on debt or start burning cash faster than the bookkeeper can explain. Published fractional CFO retainers run $3,000 to $12,000 a month, with $5,000 to $8,000 the common band for a $1M to $20M company; bookkeeping is often billed on top.

How this list is built. Every firm and practitioner here offers fractional CFO work on its own site and says it serves $1M to $5M companies. Order is editor's pick, then listings that name the revenue band, then a published fee, then name. Nobody pays to appear or to move up. Full methodology.
