02/ the week
How a week divides.
Part of a week is the point of the model: each client buys days, the rest of the week goes to other clients. Move the days a week and the week redraws.
Illustration only: one way a fractional executive’s week can divide at 2 days a week for you. Each block is half a day.
03/ overview
Yorkshire fractional executive market
The shape of fractional work in this market.
Leeds and Yorkshire offer a growing fractional executive market.
The region's strong professional services, fintech, and manufacturing base creates demand for senior part-time leadership across finance, technology, and operations.
Leeds City Council's economic strategy, including its Leeds Economic Vision, is set out at Inclusive Growth Leeds.
Key locations: Leeds (financial services hub), Sheffield (advanced manufacturing), Bradford (emerging tech), York (professional services), plus remote opportunities serving Yorkshire-based companies from across the region.
Why Yorkshire works for fractional roles
Yorkshire's business-friendly environment and strong transport links make it attractive for fractional executives.
Many roles offer hybrid working with London companies, while local businesses value part-time senior expertise.

Yorkshire roles in highest demand
What hiring teams and candidates need to know, function by function.
05/ finance
Fractional CFO Leeds: finance leadership for Leeds and Yorkshire businesses
A fractional CFO gives a Leeds business board-level finance leadership for a day or two a week: the model and the forecast, cash, lender and investor reporting, and the finance team.
The seat suits growth companies preparing to raise, owner-managed businesses planning a sale or succession, and PE-backed companies that report monthly to their investors — without the cost of a full-time finance chief.
Hiring one works the same way in Leeds as anywhere else.
Write down the decisions the CFO will own, the days a week and whether they will join the board.
Then ask each candidate about a raise, refinancing or sale they led, and take a reference from the chair or investor they reported to.
ICAEW's directory of chartered accountants lets you confirm a candidate's membership.
We shortlist fractional CFOs across the UK, including Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region, for hybrid or remote engagements — for example, a regular day on site for the board pack and the rest remote.
For each brief we come back with a shortlist of 3–5, each with day rate or pay, availability and IR35 position set out; a medium or large client makes the IR35 status determination under HMRC's off-payroll rules.
Published UK day-rate bands, each with its source, are on fractional CFO jobs UK; what the engagement costs is set out in the fractional CFO cost guide.
06/ marketing
Fractional marketing in Yorkshire CMO and marketing director roles
Fractional marketing in Yorkshire covers two kinds of role: a fractional CMO or marketing director setting strategy for a growing business, and a part-time head of marketing who leads a small team or a group of agencies.
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority counts creative services, digital and technology, and financial and professional services among its growth clusters, alongside advanced manufacturing — so briefs range from repositioning a long-established manufacturer to building demand for a B2B software company.
What clients look for: marketing that moved revenue, not just activity; experience in their sector; and professional standing — the Chartered Institute of Marketing sets the UK professional standard, including Chartered Marketer status.
A fractional marketing leader owns the plan, the budget and the numbers reported to the board; delivery sits with the in-house team or agencies.
To find a fractional CMO, see the roles on the board and the published day rates there; or see fractional marketing director jobs for the director-level shape of the role.
07/ hiring a cto
Hiring a fractional CTO in Leeds and West Yorkshire
Demand for a fractional CTO in Leeds comes from the city's fintech, healthtech and software companies, and from established businesses in Leeds, Bradford and across the region modernising their systems.
The role is part-time senior technical leadership: architecture, security, supplier choices and the first engineering hires.
Before you hire, define what the CTO owns, the days a week and whether the role includes building a team.
Ask for evidence of systems a candidate built that are still running, and treat BCS Chartered IT Professional registration as an independent check.
If you are funding growth, the British Business Bank's Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II covers the whole of the North, including West Yorkshire, and investors will expect a credible technology lead.
The ONS regional labour market statistics give the Yorkshire and The Humber employment picture.
The roles and published UK day rates are on fractional CTO jobs UK; for the finance seat, see fractional CFO jobs UK.
We come back with a shortlist of 3–5.
