Early-stage and scaling startups face complex financial decisions that can significantly impact their growth trajectory. From fundraising strategy and economic modeling to investor relations and cash flow optimization, the CFO function is critical, but not every startup can afford a full-time executive. That’s where a Fractional CFO comes in.
We provide strategic CFO solutions designed for startups and high-growth companies, giving you executive-level financial leadership without the full-time cost. Whether you’re preparing for your first funding round, managing a cash flow crunch, or scaling into new markets, our Fractional CFOs ensures that your financial strategy supports your business vision.

Limited strategic foresight. Without a CFO, financial decisions may be reactive rather than proactive, impacting growth and profitability.
Inefficient fundraising. Pitching to investors without the right metrics, forecasts, and valuation strategy reduces the chances of securing capital.
Scaling without financial controls. Growth without structure can lead to cost overruns, missed targets, and reduced investor confidence.
Lack of investor-ready reporting. Boards and potential investors expect detailed, accurate, and strategic financial reports.
Cash flow mismanagement. Without expert forecasting, startups risk running out of cash before hitting key milestones.
We don’t just “do the numbers”; we shape the financial strategy that drives your business forward. Our team brings decades of combined capital markets, venture capital, and startup leadership experience to ensure your decisions are data-backed, investor-ready, and growth-focused.
At EIM, we understand that every startup’s needs are unique. That’s why our Fractional CFO solution combines capital markets expertise with financial analysts, controllers, and tax advisors. This gives founders a fully resourced CFO function without the cost of building it in-house.
We work side-by-side with founders to align financial strategy with business goals. Whether you’re closing a funding round, planning a market expansion, or optimizing operations, your Fractional CFO ensures every decision is financially sound and strategically aligned.
Startups evolve quickly. We adapt our engagement to your stage, from weekly cash flow oversight to full fundraising support. As your needs change, your CFO adjusts with you.
We prepare and present the financial story investors want to see, clear, compliant, and compelling. From valuation support to SaaS metrics like CAC, LTV, MRR, and ARR, we ensure your numbers inspire confidence.

With EIM’s Fractional CFO solutions, you gain more than a consultant; you gain an embedded financial leader dedicated to helping your startup secure funding, scale strategically, and succeed long term.
A Fractional CFO provides executive-level financial leadership on a part-time or project basis. Unlike a full-time CFO, who is a permanent member of your team, a Fractional CFO delivers the same strategic guidance but at a fraction of the cost—ideal for startups and growth-stage companies that need expertise without the overhead.
Startups benefit from a Fractional CFO when preparing for fundraising, scaling operations, managing complex cash flow, or entering new markets. If your financial decisions are becoming more complex and your current team lacks strategic oversight, it’s time to bring in CFO-level guidance.
Your Fractional CFO ensures that financial models, forecasts, and KPIs meet investor expectations. They also help refine your pitch, prepare due diligence documents, and guide negotiations to secure funding on the best possible terms.
Absolutely. A Fractional CFO complements your current team by focusing on strategy, high-level planning, and investor relations, while your accountants or bookkeepers handle day-to-day transactions. This collaboration ensures both accuracy and strategic direction.
Our solutions are designed to scale with your needs. You can engage a Fractional CFO for a set number of hours per week, for specific projects like fundraising or acquisitions, or on an ongoing advisory basis. As your business evolves, so does our level of involvement.
Gain clarity with accurate financial insights.
Effortless accounting management, investor-ready and stress-free.
