Fractional CFO leadership
For a management team that needs a named finance owner to maintain the forecast, cash view, and reporting through recurring decisions.
See the ongoing scope →Corporate finance project
For a defined model, pricing decision, board pack, or internal fundraising preparation, with agreed deliverables and a management handoff.
See the project scope →Six common starting points
The model isn't driving decisions
When the financial model lives in a spreadsheet no one maintains between board meetings, management can't run scenarios, test pricing changes, or assess hiring timing with confidence.
How to build a decision-ready AI company model →AI delivery costs are opaque
Token, inference, and delivery costs vary by customer, model version, and workflow in ways that standard SaaS cost structures don't capture. Gross margin becomes unclear until it surfaces as a board question.
Understanding AI unit economics →Pricing structure isn't stress-tested
Usage, seat, and outcome-based pricing carry different margin and cash implications at scale. A pricing decision made before those implications are modeled is difficult to reverse after customers are under contract.
AI pricing strategy and margin guardrails →The board pack is rebuilt each quarter
Decision-ready reporting should update from a maintained model, not be reconstructed from raw data. When preparation consumes management time that should go to decisions, the system isn't working.
Board reporting for an AI company →A fundraise is closer than the materials suggest
Investor-ready financials, a use-of-funds schedule, and a KPI framework take longer to build than most founders expect. Preparation that starts after a term sheet conversation starts too late.
Preparing an AI company for fundraising →Which financial KPIs matter for an AI company?
Start with committed revenue, billable variable usage, customer delivery margin, and dated cash. Define each measure from a source the team can check, assign an owner, and use the same definitions in management and board reporting. The right additions depend on the decisions ahead.

- What does a fractional CFO do for an AI company?
- A fractional CFO is a part-time member of the management system — not a one-off adviser. The role owns the integrated financial model, cash and runway forecast, unit economics, pricing analysis, monthly management reporting, and board materials, and maintains those systems between reporting periods.
- How is a fractional CFO different from an accountant?
- Compare the work actually assigned, since some accounting firms also provide CFO-level services. Accounting support may own the close, records, and financial statements. A fractional CFO engagement should assign someone to maintain the forecast, explain the cash and margin implications of decisions, and bring that view into management and board discussions.
- When should an AI company hire a fractional CFO?
- The need typically becomes clear when consequential decisions about hiring, pricing, gross margin, or fundraising are being made without a maintained financial model, or when the board pack requires full reconstruction each quarter rather than a routine update. The condition is finance lagging behind the operating pace of the business.
- How are Amafi Advisory engagements structured?
- Ongoing fractional CFO leadership is a monthly retainer. A financial model, pricing analysis, board pack, or internal fundraising preparation can instead be a fixed-scope project with agreed deliverables and a management handoff. Amafi Advisory does not charge success fees or transaction-based compensation, place securities, or solicit investors on a client's behalf.
- Which AI and technology companies does Amafi Advisory work with?
- Amafi Advisory works with AI and technology companies serving the U.S. market that need embedded finance leadership — typically growth-stage companies with revenue, a product in market, and decisions ahead in planning, pricing, fundraising, or diligence preparation.
The AICPA’s description of client advisory services confirms that accounting firms may provide CFO services (accessed October 8, 2026). The responsibility test above is Amafi Advisory’s practitioner judgment.
