Why Every Growing Business Needs a Fractional Financial Controller

Adrian

Hey there, and welcome to Smart Growth, the show where we dive into what’s really fueling today’s most successful startups and growing businesses. I’m your host, Adrian, and today we’re talking finance—but not the dry, spreadsheet-heavy kind.

We’re talking strategic finance. And more specifically, how a Fractional Financial Controller could be the game-changer your business needs.

So if you’re running a growing company, wondering how to tighten financial controls without breaking the bank, stick around. Because today, we’re diving into a solution that’s lean, smart, and built for scale.

Let’s go.

💡 Segment 1: What Is a Fractional Financial Controller? And Why Now?

Alright, so let’s start with the basics.

A Fractional Financial Controller is exactly what it sounds like — an experienced finance professional who works with your business part-time, remotely, or on an as-needed basis.

You get all the value of a senior finance leader — financial reporting, cash flow management, budget oversight, investor readiness — without the full-time salary or overhead.

Perfect for startups, scale-ups, and small businesses that are moving fast but still need rock-solid financial controls.

And here’s the kicker: this isn’t just about keeping your books in order. It’s about gaining clarity, control, and confidence in your financial decisions.

🎯 Segment 2: Why Accountancy Capital?

Now, there are a lot of ways to find freelancers or temp finance help.

But what makes Accountancy Capital’s Fractional Financial Controller service different is simple: they handpick elite finance talent who’ve worked with fast-growth companies — and understand the nuances of scaling.

Whether you're pre-revenue or generating millions in ARR, they’ll match you with someone who gets your world — and can plug in fast.

No long recruitment cycles. No risky hires. Just highly-skilled controllers who can get to work on day one.

📊 Segment 3: What Can a Fractional Controller Actually Do?

Great question.

Here’s what you can expect from the right person in this role:

  • Build and maintain your financial model
  • Implement cash flow forecasting
  • Prepare you for investment rounds
  • Oversee month-end close and reporting
  • Liaise with your accountant and stakeholders
  • Help manage financial risk and compliance

In other words? They bring order to the chaos. And let you — the founder or CEO — focus on growth, product, and customers.

🚀 Segment 4: Ready to Level Up Without Hiring Full-Time?
