Fractional CFO Services in London
Unlock expert financial guidance tailored to your business (on your own terms) at Taj Accountants. Our fractional CFO services in London offer growing businesses access to experienced Chief Financial Officers without the cost of a full-time hire.
What Does A Fractional CFO Mean for Your Business?
A Fractional CFO (also known as a part-time or outsourced CFO) is a senior financial expert who works with your business on a flexible, contract-based schedule. Unlike hiring a full-time CFO, a fractional CFO allows you to access top-tier financial guidance and strategy without paying a full-time salary.
Ideal For:
- Startups in early growth phases
- SMEs scaling operations
- Businesses in transition or seeking investment
- Companies that need expert financial oversight, without full-time costs
Our CFOs work 1–5 days per week based on your business needs, with monthly or project-based contracts that fit your budget and timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a CFO and an accountant?
An accountant focuses on compliance, bookkeeping, and tax filings. A CFO provides high-level financial strategy, long-term planning, forecasting, and leadership. A Fractional CFO bridges this gap for growing companies that need more than compliance support.
How much does a Fractional CFO cost?
Pricing varies depending on the complexity of your needs and the level of engagement. We offer transparent, flexible pricing models starting from part-time support, just a few days per month.
Do I need to be based in London to use your services?
While we specialise in Fractional CFO Services in London, we also support clients across the UK and internationally through hybrid or fully remote arrangements.
