Keel CFO is recruiting experienced CFOs to join their fractional CFO platform, working flexibly on part-time, interim and project-based engagements with growth-stage businesses (£3m+ turnover). The role targets CFOs with strong commercial judgement and track record in cash-flow improvement, turnaround, fundraising or exit preparation.

Fractional CFO — the balanced verdict

Why this role stands out

Explicitly fractional engagement model with multiple engagement types (part-time, interim, project)
Clear target client profile and value proposition (£3m+ growth-oriented businesses)
Outcome-focused approach with specific domains (cash flow, turnaround, fundraising, exit prep)
Employer direct (Keel CFO itself recruiting, not agency-brokered)

Worth checking before you apply

No stated day rate or fee structure; compensation terms not transparent in posting
Requires on-site work with client teams despite fractional label; may imply more presence than typical fractional
Days per week and flexibility level not specified; 'flexibly' is vague
