The fractional CFO alternative

The judgement of a fractional CFO, without the day rate

A fractional CFO gives smaller businesses board-level financial direction a few days a month. MyFinanceDirector.ai gives you that direction every week — prepared numbers, a structured review, decisions captured, filings kept in view — for a fraction of the cost of a human hire.

What a full-time Finance Director costs, per year

That's the judgement that turns a good quarter into a great one and a bad quarter into a survivable one — the kind of insight that only lands at a scale where most businesses are already reconstructing what happened. Fractional CFOs close part of the gap at £800–£1,500 a day. We close it for the price of a phone contract.

What your Finance Director does

A weekly review, every week

The numbers are prepared before you sit down. An agenda, a written read on what changed, and the two or three decisions that actually matter this week.

Cash, runway and forecasting

Live cash position and runway, base/growth/downside forecasts, and 'what if' modelling on the spot — the hire, the price rise, the customer that slips.

Board packs and bank-ready plans

Board-grade packs in minutes: exec summary, performance, cash and liquidity, tax, risks and opportunities. Exportable for investors or lenders.

Compliance kept in view

VAT, Corporation Tax, PAYE, Confirmation Statements and auto-enrolment duties tracked and prepared against your live numbers. You stay the filer of record.
