The Florida CFO Group is a partnership of career Chief Financial Officers (CFO) providing interim CFO and fractional CFO (part-time CFO) services to companies that desire financial leadership without having to hire a permanent, full time CFO. As your CFO resource, we become part of your executive management team while contributing the independent perspective of our multi-client experience. Fractional CFO solutions by the Florida CFO Group typically include CFO on-site involvement one day a week; however the solution can include multiple day commitments each week and can also scale back to as little as one day every-other week. Each client situation is individually evaluated and the suggested schedule is customized to each client’s needs. Through delivering fractional CFO services in this manner the Florida CFO Group is able to provide proactive financial leadership for our fractional share clients. The Florida CFO Group provides Interim CFO services in a variety of circumstances, most notable for companies with permanent CFO transition and companies poised for a transaction. The partners of the Florida CFO Group are all located in the greater Tampa Bay area.
