What we do

Three disciplines, one team

Most growing companies aren't ready for full-time finance and operations leadership, and rarely have the resources to modernise how they work. We provide both as a single team, so the two move together rather than apart.

Fractional CFO

Finance leadership

Experienced financial leadership for the decisions that matter — funding, planning and reporting your board can rely on.

  • Funding and investor readiness
  • Cash flow, forecasting and planning
  • Financial modelling and analysis
  • Board and management reporting
  • Mergers, acquisitions and exits

  • Operating model and process design
  • Systems and supplier selection
  • Performance and KPI management
  • Supply chain and delivery
  • Team structure and hiring

Technology & Automation

Technology and automation

The connective layer between finance and operations. We bring your existing systems together and remove the manual, repetitive work that slows the business down — on infrastructure you control.

  • Connecting your existing systems
  • Removing manual, repetitive work
  • Practical use of AI where it earns its place
  • Data protection and compliance
  • Secure, well-governed information

How it fits together

One connected business

Finance and operations share the same information and the same systems, so work moves through the business cleanly and nothing is entered twice or lost along the way.

How we work

Involved in the work, not just advising on it

Our partners have held these roles themselves. We work inside the business, deliver alongside your team, and leave it running well without us.

“Fractional simply means experienced leadership, part-time — the seniority you need, at a level that suits the business.”

01

Join the team

A senior partner works alongside your people on a regular, part-time basis.

02

Understand the business

We take the time to understand the business as it is, then agree the few priorities that will make the biggest difference.

03

Do the work

We deliver alongside your team — the plans, systems and improvements, put into practice.

04

Hand over

We leave you with capable people and clear ways of working, so the business runs well without us.

One team, two markets

The same team across both markets, in the same time zones, with senior people who have built and run companies on each side.

Who we are

Based in Portugal and the UK, working across Europe.

Fractional Europe was founded by people who have held these finance and operations roles themselves — through funding rounds, growth, restructuring and sale. We bring that experience to smaller companies, with the same standard of leadership larger organisations take for granted.

  • Senior people, not junior associates
  • A fixed monthly fee, agreed in advance
  • Clear objectives and measurable results
  • Designed to hand over and step back
