Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a fractional CFO and a full-time CFO?
A full-time CFO in the UAE costs a senior six-figure annual package plus visa, insurance and end-of-service. A fractional engagement delivers the same strategic input — planning, forecasting, board reporting — for a fraction of that, scaled to the days per month you actually need.
What does the monthly advisory rhythm look like?
After month-end close we review actuals vs budget, update the rolling forecast, refresh the KPI pack and hold a finance session to agree actions. The same cadence every month, so decisions always rest on current numbers.
What goes into the board pack?
P&L, balance sheet and cash flow summary, KPI dashboard (revenue, gross margin, burn/runway, receivables days), forecast vs actual with variance commentary, and a decision log. Concise enough to read in 20 minutes, rigorous enough to rely on.
How does forecasting handle seasonality?
We build seasonality into the model from your historical patterns — Ramadan timing, summer slowdowns, year-end peaks — and reforecast monthly as actuals land. The forecast flexes with reality instead of going stale.
