Fractional CFO
For early scale and founder-led businesses. Cost discipline, infrastructure build, and senior judgment without the full-time overhead—a capability bridge while the right long-term profile clarifies.
Sync CFO gives GovCon, Cyber, and DoD businesses senior financial leadership on a fractional basis—part-time, embedded, and matched to your stage. Plus interim CFOs and full-time CFO search when you need them—without the cost of a full-time hire.
A senior CFO in the seat one to a few days a week—not a full-time salary.
We map your situation to the right operator, not the next available name.
Senior CFOs who have run finance through GovCon complexity.
Fractional now; interim or full-time search when the need changes.
Most engagements start in one of these six. The longer each goes unaddressed, the more it costs.
Reporting has broken down and windows have been missed. An interim operator moves the business out of clean-up mode and back to a reliable close.
A full-time hire made ahead of the ROI adds fixed executive cost and the wrong profile for the stage. A fractional seat gives you the judgment without the overhead.
An acquisition, recap, or sudden departure demands diligence, integration, and reporting your current finance team isn't structured to carry alone.
You've started a permanent CFO search, but a strong hire takes months. An interim leader buys that time without losing ground—or the quarter.
The mandate has moved past the current roster's capability, but role sensitivity keeps the seat unchanged. We fill the gap without the politics.
DCAA compliance, indirect rates, and contract expansion require expertise no one on the bench has. We bring operators who have solved it before.
From the C-suite to specialized functional leadership, we place senior finance operators across the breadth of the function.
We also place fractional and project-based operators for engagement-specific needs—scoped as a consulting engagement when that's the better fit.
