Talk to a CFO

Clients on CFO Services

"When I start my next company, I won't hire employees to do my accounting. I'm going to go straight to indinero. I think it's a higher level of expertise than I could hire myself because I don't have a big enough company to hire a full-time CFO, controller and bookkeeper. I want people who can do those things and do them well, but I only need them fractionally. I think that's part of why the model works really well."

“I’ve been through 10 bookkeepers in 16 years. Indinero is the best we have worked with, and there is no close second. They are the first bookkeeper who successfully set us up for accrual bookkeeping. That seems a real struggle for food service companies because it is a lot of work.”

FAQs About Interim CFO Services

The most frequently asked questions about indinero and our services.

How long does a typical Interim CFO engagement last?
Engagements can range from a few months to over a year, depending on your company’s needs and circumstances. Some clients require short-term support for specific projects, while others benefit from longer-term guidance during extended transitions or growth phases. We tailor the duration to your unique situation and can adjust as needs evolve.
Can an Interim CFO help us prepare for an audit?
Absolutely. Our interim CFOs have extensive experience in preparing companies for audits, ensuring your financial records are accurate and audit-ready. They can implement robust internal controls, organize financial documentation, and guide your team through the audit process. This preparation facilitates a smoother audit and can improve your overall financial management practices.
How much does an Interim CFO typically cost?
The cost of an interim CFO can vary widely depending on factors such as the scope of work, company size, industry complexity, and engagement duration. Typically, rates range from $1,000 to $3,000 per day or $150 to $500 per hour. Some Interim CFOs may work on a project basis or offer monthly retainer options. While this might seem substantial, it’s often more cost-effective than hiring a full-time CFO, especially for short-term needs. The value an experienced CFO brings in terms of strategic financial management, risk mitigation, and growth facilitation often far outweighs the cost. We offer customized pricing based on your specific needs and can discuss options to fit various budgets.

How does an Interim CFO differ from a fractional CFO?
While both are part-time engagements, an Interim CFO typically works more intensively for a defined period, often to address specific challenges or opportunities. They’re usually more deeply embedded in the company’s operations during their tenure. A fractional CFO usually provides ongoing, part-time services over a longer term, often focusing on regular financial oversight and strategic input rather than intensive, short-term projects.
Can an Interim CFO help us transition to a permanent CFO?
Absolutely. Our Interim CFOs can play a crucial role in this transition. They can help define the role based on your company’s specific needs, assist in the hiring process by providing insights on candidate qualifications, and ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities. Additionally, they can help establish or improve financial systems and processes, setting up the incoming permanent CFO for success.
What industries do your Interim CFOs have experience in?
Our Interim CFOs have diverse backgrounds and experience across various industries, including tech startups, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and more. We carefully match a CFO to your industry and specific needs. This breadth of experience allows our Interim CFOs to bring best practices from multiple sectors, offering fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to your unique financial challenges.
