Are Fractional CFOs a Grift?


Listen Later

On average, I get asked 2x a week for fractional CFO recommendations.

And on average, I get complaints 3x a week about someone’s current setup.

Today we investigate the booming fractional CFO market, and my checklist to making sure you get a good one.

This week’s podcast is brought to you by Campfire (www.campfire.ai)

We’ve all used legacy ERPs. Painful migrations, endless consulting fees, and even after you’re live, getting simple answers still means hours in spreadsheets.

Campfire fixes that. It’s the AI-first ERP built for modern finance and accounting teams. It's helping mid-market and enterprise teams close faster, unlock insights instantly, and scale smarter - without the additional headcount.I use Campfire myself, and it’s been a game changer for our finance workflow. The interface is intuitive, migration was quick & painless, and it's freed us up to focus on strategic work.They just raised $35 million from Accel to further reimagine ERP. That's not easy to do.

I’m excited to see how they keep reimagining this space – and you should be too.
