Running a growing business is exciting — but for most CEOs, the finance function can feel like a constant drain. Between consultants offering piecemeal advice, rising recruitment costs, and the $250K+ price tag of a full-time CFO, it’s easy to see why many leaders feel stuck.
That’s where a fractional CFO changes everything.
At Beyond Elevation, founded by Hayat Amin, we help CEOs unlock CFO-level leadership, investor credibility, and scalable financial systems — without the overhead of a full-time hire.
What Is a Fractional CFO?
A fractional CFO provides senior-level financial leadership on a flexible, part-time basis. Instead of paying a full salary, benefits, and bonuses, you pay a predictable monthly fee.
But the benefits go far beyond cost savings.
The Key Benefits of a Fractional CFO
1. Investor-Ready Financials
When raising capital, CEOs need more than reports — they need financials that withstand investor scrutiny. Beyond Elevation has supported clients in raising capital from world-class investors like Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bill Gates.
2. Complete Finance Function
A fractional CFO from Beyond Elevation isn’t just one person. You gain access to:
CFO leadership
A complete finance team
Systems, processes, and forecasting capabilities
Everything you need to scale — in one place.
3. Predictable, Transparent Costs
Instead of juggling invoices for recruiters, benefits, freelancers, and software licenses, you get one predictable monthly fee. No surprise bills. No nickel-and-diming.
4. Scalable Strategy and Execution
Unlike consultants who stop at advice, a fractional CFO executes. From cash flow forecasting to M&A prep, we build the financial foundation for growth and walk with you through the journey.
Beyond Elevation vs. Traditional Finance Consultants
The difference is simple:
Consultants rent you advice.
Beyond Elevation helps you own your financial future.
For CEOs, that means less time firefighting and more time leading.
The Bottom Line for CEOs
The CEOs who win don’t just chase reports or patchwork solutions. They invest in financial leadership that is:
Direct
Predictable
Unshakeable
At Beyond Elevation, we deliver exactly that.
