FRACTIONAL CFO

Strategic Financial Leadership for Better Decisions

Financial statements tell you what happened.

A CFO helps you understand what it means and what to do next.

Pennies Count provides fractional CFO services to nonprofit and research organizations that need strategic financial leadership without immediately hiring a full-time CFO.

YOUR ORGANIZATION MAY BE FACING...

Leadership may have financial information but still lack the insight needed to make confident decisions.

You may be experiencing:

  • Uncertainty about future cash flow

  • Difficulty developing or managing a budget

  • Limited financial forecasting

  • Questions about program or funding sustainability

  • Financial information that is difficult for the board to interpret

  • Uncertainty about the financial impact of strategic decisions

  • A need for experienced financial leadership without a full-time CFO
