For businesses
Fractional CFO
Your financial questions have outgrown bookkeeping, but a full-time hire is not justified. A fractional CFO is a standing seat, not an emergency call.
Who this is for
- Businesses where financial decisions carry real risk
- Owners acting as their own finance function
- Companies planning growth, financing, or restructuring
What usually prompts the call
You are probably here because of one of these.
- You are the bottleneck on every financial decision
- Growth is not turning into cash
- Forecasting beyond what a bookkeeper provides
- A lender or buyer wants numbers you lack
Scope
What is included — and what is not.
Being specific about the boundaries up front is how engagements stay clean.
Included
- A recurring financial review meeting
- Forward-looking cash and profitability forecasting
- Margin and unit-economics analysis
- Budget build and variance review
- Financial input on hiring, pricing, and capital
- Preparation for lender and stakeholder conversations
Not included
- A full-time or fiduciary officer role
- Signing authority over your accounts
- Audit, attestation, legal, or investment advice
- Guaranteed financial results

The practical details
What to have ready

- Any lender, investor, or partner requirements
Cadence
Usually monthly with a standing review meeting, scaled to the business.
Who we can serve
U.S. businesses. An advisory seat, not an officer appointment, with no signing authority.
Fractional CFO — common questions
- Is our business big enough for a fractional CFO?
- The test is whether your financial decisions have outgrown your setup, not revenue. VICI Financial will tell you either way.
- Does this replace our bookkeeper?
- No. Fractional CFO work sits on top of bookkeeping and depends on it.
- What do we receive each month?
- A standing review meeting, an updated forward view of cash and profitability, and written follow-up.
Before you book
What a discovery call is
A discovery call is a two-way conversation about whether VICI Financial can help. If not, Joe says so early.
What we will talk about
- What the business does and how it makes money
- What is hardest right now
- Where you want the business in a year
- Whether VICI Financial is a fit, and the next step either way
Worth having handy
None of this is required to book — it just makes the first conversation more useful.
- Recent business and personal tax returns, if handy
- How the books are kept, and who touches them
- The two or three decisions you are weighing
