Frequently asked questions
What is a fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO is a senior finance leader who works with your business part-time — typically a few days per week or on a project basis — providing CFO-level strategy, oversight, and reporting without the cost of a full-time executive hire.
How much does a fractional CFO cost in Ottawa?
Engagements are flexible — retainer, project-based, or ongoing — and scoped to your situation after an initial conversation. The typical commitment is 2–3 days per week, at a small fraction of a full-time CFO's total compensation.
When does a business need a fractional CFO?
Common triggers: revenue growth outpacing your finance function, multiple entities without consolidated reporting, an upcoming sale or financing, cash flow surprises, or a board asking questions your current reporting can't answer.
What makes this different from other fractional CFO services?
Majdi combines three capabilities that rarely come in one person: hands-on finance leadership from nine years at NYSE-listed Brookfield Renewable, finance transformation experience, and the ability to build Power BI analytics himself — so you don't need to coordinate separate consultants.
