A CFO in the Room, Not on a Retainer Phone Call
Most fractional CFOs are former finance execs consulting from the sidelines. Brett Slade is currently the CFO of an early-stage CPG company. That's a different level of engagement.

Questions
Common Questions
How is this different from hiring a controller or bookkeeper?
A controller manages the numbers. A bookkeeper records them. A CFO interprets them, builds strategy around them, and helps you make better decisions with them. Brett does the CFO work — and can coordinate with your existing accounting team.
How many hours per month does this typically involve?
Most engagements run 10–30 hours per month. It scales with your stage — a company in active fundraising needs more CFO time than one in steady state.
Can you work alongside our existing CPA or accounting team?
Absolutely. Brett works in a CFO capacity, not as a replacement for your bookkeeper or tax CPA. Coordination with existing advisors is part of the engagement.
