Hire a new fractional CFO once your current one reaches three clients. Most fractional CFOs handle 10 to 12 clients, so start recruiting early to avoid bottlenecks in your onboarding pipeline.
I think that when the engine is running optimally, both on the marketing and the lead flow side, and the onboarding side, I think it's when a new CFO has his third client, it's time to start the hiring process again. For our firm and our scope of work and kind of the way we do things, a fractional CFO should be able to handle 10 to 12 clients on average. And I believe kind of the way I see it all flowing is given a dialed in lead flow new CFO has his third client. And let's assume that a CFO can onboard two, maybe three new clients at once. And that's three is a big ask for a new cfo. It's a tall order. So let's call it two some. By the time they're at their third, then that means that we need to start posting on LinkedIn. Hey, we're hiring.
