I help Fractional CFOs start and scale their firms.

04/28/2025

I’ve been thinking about this lately:
For Fractional CFOs, technical competency is really only table stakes.

You won’t even get a seat at the table if you don’t understand how to evaluate financials, put together
forecasts, and run through rent vs by vs lease scenarios.

Those are just table stakes in our industry.

You’ve also got to bring some other skills to the table:

• A deep understanding of operations
• Situational awareness
• Emotional intelligence
• Executive presence
• The ability to coach
• A strategic mind
• Empathy

That’s the stuff that we tend to overlook, but that’s the stuff that our clients need, just as much as
the technical competency.

I’m curious:
What did I miss?

Let me know in the comments!
