Fractional CFO leadership for growing companies
Startup Partners provides operator-level CFO leadership on a fractional basis. We work with founder-led and venture-backed companies that need senior financial judgment during growth, fundraising, or transition, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
This is strategic finance leadership, not outsourced accounting.
What we do
Senior judgement, applied when it matters most.
Most startups don’t need a full-time CFO. They need experienced financial leadership at specific moments, capital planning, investor conversations, operational strain, or strategic change.
Startup Partners embeds CFO-level decision-making into the business when it is required, and steps back when it is not. The focus is clarity, control, and decision quality, not process for its own sake.
Financial problems rarely arrive loudly.
They compound quietly until it’s too late.
Fractional CFO services
Fractional CFO engagements are tailored to the stage and complexity of the business. Scope and cadence adjust over time, providing executive-level finance leadership without unnecessary overhead.
We typically support:
• Capital planning, runway management, and cash discipline
• Investor and board-level financial reporting and narratives
• Fundraising support across seed through growth stages
• Executive decision support during scale, stress, or transition
We operate as part of the leadership team, not as an external advisor.
Who we work with
Startup Partners works with venture-backed and founder-led companies, specializing in SaaS, AI, and life sciences. Engagements typically begin post-seed and extend through Series C, supporting founders and leadership teams as financial complexity increases.
Get in Touch
Conversations typically begin through referrals, direct outreach, or professional introductions.
