The West Palm Beach market for CFOs

Capital is abundant and expectations are institutional. Fractional executives are commonly engaged by newly relocated firms and portfolio companies building out local operations.
Why West Palm Beach companies hire fractional CFOs
The typical trigger in this market is standing up operations after a relocation, or investor-grade reporting at a portfolio company. A fractional CFO gives you the same executive seat and finance judgment on 1–3 days per week, without the base salary, equity, and benefits load of a permanent hire.
- You are raising a seed–Series C round and need investor-ready financials
- Monthly close takes more than 10 days or numbers don't tie out
- You have a bookkeeper but no one owning cash, forecast, and unit economics
- You just missed a plan and the board wants a credible re-forecast
