Your Questions, Answered

The terms are largely interchangeable. Both refer to a senior finance professional who works with your company on a part-time or project basis. 'Fractional' emphasises the portion of their time you're buying; 'Outsourced' emphasises that the service is provided externally rather than by a full-time in-house hire.

Our pricing is structured around your business needs and engagement frequency. Monthly retainers start from a fraction of what a full-time CFO would cost (typically AED 400,000–800,000/year). Contact us for a tailored quote based on your requirements.

Not at all. Our Outsourced CFO service is specifically designed for startups, SMEs and scaling businesses that need senior financial expertise but aren't yet ready to justify a full-time hire. It's one of the most cost-effective investments a growing business can make.

Yes. Our CFOs collaborate closely with your internal staff or finance department, bringing structure and clarity without disrupting your existing workflows. They act as a genuine member of your leadership team — not just an external advisor.

Absolutely. Our team has deep expertise in UAE Corporate Tax (CIT), Value Added Tax (VAT), IFRS reporting standards, Free Zone structures and DIFC/ADGM regulatory requirements. Compliance is embedded into every financial strategy we design.
