Do I need a full-time CFO, or is fractional enough?

Most companies doing $5M to $50M do not need a full-time CFO. A fractional CFO gives you senior-level financial leadership at a fraction of the cost. You get strategy, forecasting, board reporting, and cash flow management without the $200K+ salary plus equity. The right time to go full-time is when your revenue exceeds $50M, you are preparing for an IPO, or your financial complexity requires a dedicated in-house team.

How does DMW Advisory pricing work?

We charge a fixed monthly fee, presented upfront. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Pricing ranges from $2,500 to $6,500 per month depending on scope. You know exactly what you pay before we start.

What is included in the engagement?

Every engagement includes accounting and bookkeeping (close process, reconciliations, bill pay), FP&A (forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis), and fractional CFO services (strategy, capital allocation, board reporting). You also get access to DMW FinTel, our proprietary AI platform that automates reporting and forecasting.

What size companies do you work with?

We work with companies doing $5M to $50M in revenue. Our clients range from eCommerce and DTC brands to professional services and SaaS companies. If you have outgrown your bookkeeper but are not ready for a full-time CFO, we are the right fit.

How quickly can we get started?

Most engagements begin within one to two weeks of our initial discovery call. We start with a financial diagnostic to understand your current systems, then deliver a tailored roadmap within the first 30 days.
