Fractional, Interim, or Project CFO —
We Match the Model to Your Needs

Not every finance challenge is the same. Traverse offers three flexible models designed around your stage, your timeline, and your goals.

Best For: Ongoing Strategic Leadership

Fractional CFO

A true member of your leadership team — attending meetings, partnering with your CEO and board, and owning the financial function. Typically 2–4 days per month, delivering world-class CFO impact at a fraction of the cost.

  • Ongoing FP&A and forecasting, AI-powered
  • Monthly close oversight and reporting
  • Board deck preparation and investor comms
  • Cash flow and capital allocation guidance
  • KPI framework and executive dashboard
Best For: Leadership Transitions & Transactions

Interim CFO

When you need a senior finance leader in place quickly — and you can't afford a gap — Traverse deploys an experienced interim CFO within days. Our AI-enabled onboarding means they're productive from day one.

  • CFO departure or extended leave
  • Capital raise or equity transaction support
  • M&A and sell-side process management
  • Turnaround or financial restructuring
  • Rapid finance infrastructure build
Best For: Defined Scope, Specific Deliverable

Project CFO

Some financial needs are acute and scoped. A senior finance leader owns a specific deliverable from kickoff to completion — then hands off a system that runs without them.

  • Financial model build or rebuild
  • ERP selection and implementation
  • First-time board reporting infrastructure
  • Pre-raise data room and investor materials
  • Ongoing FP&A and forecasting, AI-powered

Up and Running in Days, Not Months

Hiring a full-time CFO takes three to six months. Traverse gets you from first call to active engagement — with live dashboards and a baseline financial model — within a week.

Who We Serve

Built for Companies That Are
Outgrowing Their Finance Function

Traverse works with founder-led and high-growth companies across industries — typically at the stage where financial complexity has exceeded internal capacity. If any of these describe you, we should talk.

You're growing in revenue and your finance function hasn't scaled with you

You're preparing for a Series A, B, or growth equity raise and need institutional-quality financials

You've received PE or VC backing and need a finance leader who operates at that level

You're running blind — no real-time cash visibility, no rolling forecast, no KPI framework

You need a CFO for a specific transaction — a sale, acquisition, or refinancing — and you need one now
