Trusted by e-commerce founders who fired their old bookkeeper.

The problem

A bookkeeper records. A CFO decides. Most brands have one, not the other.

Decisions made on gut, not numbers.

Pricing, hiring, ad spend, inventory bets. Without a model, every call is a coin flip.

Fundraising stalls on financials.

Investors want a clean 3-statement model and 24 months of historicals. Most founders don't have one.

Full-time CFO is too expensive.

A senior CFO runs $200k+ per year all-in. Most brands at $1M to $10M ARR don't need one full time.

How it works

A senior CFO, a live model, and decisions you can defend.

01

Onboard the model.

We build a live 3-statement financial model from your reconciled books.

02

Forecast cash and runway.

13-week cash forecast and a longer-horizon runway model updated monthly.

03

Monthly strategy call.

Senior CFO walks you through performance, variance, and the next decisions you face.

04

Same-day Slack access.

Ask questions when they happen. Get answers same day, not next meeting (Scale plan).

What's included

Every deliverable a CFO would own.

Monthly strategy sessions

60-minute video call with your dedicated CFO to review performance and plan ahead.

Live financial model

Three-statement model updated monthly with actuals and forward projections.

Scenario planning

Model the impact of a hire, an inventory bet, or an ad spend change before you make it.

Built on top of monthly bookkeeping. Pair with cash flow forecasting for live runway visibility.

The partnership

A senior partner in the seat your business needs.

FAQ

Fractional CFO, answered.

What does a fractional CFO do for an e-commerce brand?

A fractional CFO provides strategic financial leadership without a full-time hire. For e-commerce, that means cash flow forecasting, inventory financing strategy, margin analysis by channel, fundraising prep, and monthly financial reviews. You get a senior finance partner without the $200k+ salary.

When does an e-commerce brand need a fractional CFO?

Most brands benefit from CFO support once they cross $1 to 2M ARR, run multiple channels, or are preparing to raise capital, take on debt, or make a meaningful inventory investment. If major decisions are being made on gut feel, it is time.

How is a fractional CFO different from a bookkeeper?

A bookkeeper records what happened. A CFO advises on what to do next. Bookkeepers close the books, a CFO interprets them, forecasts cash, models scenarios, and shapes decisions on inventory, pricing, hiring, and growth.

Can a fractional CFO help with fundraising or a bank loan?

Yes. Preparing GAAP-compliant historicals, a 3-statement financial model, and an investor data room is one of the highest-value things a fractional CFO delivers. Lenders and investors expect this level of rigor, and Reconsail builds it.

How many hours of CFO time do I get?

Our Growth plan includes a quarterly CFO strategy session. Our Scale plan includes monthly calls plus Slack access. More intensive engagements (active fundraise, M&A prep) can be scoped with additional hours as needed.

Think like a CFO. Without hiring one.
